Notes:

 
Notes:

  • Solomon I. Durham was probably born in Fayette Co. GA. He, along with his brother William, went to the Chickasaw County, MS area in the late 1840's.  He was in Sparta on the 1870 Chickasaw Co census. In August 1873 he and his brother were court commissioners in Colfax Co (formerly Chickasaw, soon to become Clay County), MS.

  • Elizabeth A. Durham is listed as a widow in 1880, so Solomon died between 1873 and 1880. The 1880 is also important as it indicates that Robert and Calvin are son of Elizabeth A. Durham.
