Notes:

Noah was a blacksmith, and he died in his shop in Sutton, AR, of appendicitis. Mary F. Woodul was married to Henry Matthew Bates before Noah G. Durham. It is very interesting that both Dorsey (called Dossie) and Jessie are listed as daughters in the 1900 census below. It appears to be an error.   1880 US Census, Albany, NevaCtyAR: Name Relation Mar.Stat Gender Race Age Birth Place Occ.
