Notes:
  • Found this very interesting write-up on the history of W. R. Durham on ancestry.com:

    William Richard Durham, Sr., was small in stature, with red hair. He earned the reputation of a drinker after the death of Julia Crenshaw. He was a well-respected Physician with an office in Dawson, Ga., and a practice that included a portion of Alabama.

    He enlisted in the 5th Regiment, Dawson, GA Volunteers, on May 11, 1861, and earned an impressive war record. He also served in the Army of Northern Virginia and fought in Virginia's major battles and valley wars. He served at Cedar Creek, Bristow, Manassas, Chantilly and Strasburg. He was a prisoner of war for ten days, was exchanged at Lookout Mountain, and surrendered to Brig. Gen. E.M. McCook by Maj Gen. Sam Jones (CSA) in Tallahassee, Florida. He was paroled in Albany, GA. on July 15, 1865.

    After his discharge, he started a fight with a much larger man and couldn't win, so he shot him. He was jailed, but allowed out to tend patients. One day he was met by a woman as he went on a call. She gave him a horse and supplies to escape.

    He fled to Texas, and en route, changed his name from "William Richard Durham" to "William Richard" with ink eradicator on his medical license. Once in Texas, he took another wife, began another family, and set up another practice. After his death, Sarah Richards, (wife #3), battled with Mary E. Durham, (wife #2) over his estate.
