    3. Thanks for posting the Lunceford family and related connections obituaries of of which is below. Mrs. Carson Durham, listed in the obituary but now deceased, nee Lottie Lenora Lunceford, was my aunt by marriage. She married Carson Gordon Durham in Taliaferro County, Georgia, in 1934. She was Church Clerk at Bethesda Baptist Church for years. Carson Gordon Durham was one of my mother's older brothers. Their grandchildren/grandson now have Durhamtown Plantation, a sports resort (mostly hunting camp and 4-wheeler trails),in eastern Greene County on Randolph Church Road between Daniel Springs and Temperance Bell Crossroads/Woodville. They have a web page that you can find by doing a web search. For more information on the Lunceford family you can contact my first cousin Bevelyn Durham McCommons (Mrs. Robert S.)either through the web page or by a telephone call. She lives on Randolph Church Road and is listed in the phone book. I think she had Lunceford family information back beyond the Civil War and maybe to the Rev. War. I don't remember for sure.
