Notes:

Ellen J. (Shoemaker) Durham's last name may have actually been SHUMAKE, as indicated on the 1850 Wilkes County, NC Census for the family of William and Fanny Shumate, who had a daughter named Ellen, who is the correct age. I will use "Shoemaker" since that is the name give on her certificate of death, by her son, T. N. Durham.  Per the 1910 Census, Ellen had 12 children, with only 9 living in 1910.   From 1860 US Census for Trap Hill Post Office, Lower Division, WilkCtyNC: Dwelling: 732, Family: 732, Living next to John and Mary A.
