I have found my ancestry back to my gggg-grandfather in Marion Co., VA. John & Nancy DURMAN are listed as the parents of my ggg-grandfather, Thomas A. DURMAN. John would have been born in the late 1700's, but I have found no trace of him anywhere in the archives of VA. The only possible link I have found is the following: "James DURMAN is listed in the Trafalgar Roll, 21 October 1805, as having arrived on the ship "Spartiate". His rank is listed as Private RM (Royal Marines)." Where could I search for information on the "Trafalgar Roll, the ship "Spartiate", and the Royal Marines of this time period? I have never found another mention of James and wonder if he returned to England with the ship. Any help appreciated, George W. Durman
