She wasn't a McSpadden, Richard's first wife was. Richard Durham was married to Elizabeth A.M. McSpadden in 1856. She died in 1860, leaving him one son, Adolphus G. Durham. Richard then married Lizzie Lance. She was the sister of Richard's soon to be brother in law, Francis Marion Lance. He married Richard's sister, Esther Clay Durham. I know, Big Small World, eh? Anyway, Richard was murdered in 1862, and rumored by Bushwhackers. Some say it might have been the Alsup boys. Richard and Lizzie Lance lived in Douglas Co MO. After Richard's death in 1862, Lizzie shows up on the 1870 Dent Co MO census with Green Clay MCSpadden, the parents of Richard's first wife which at first seemed strange but they were the grandparents of Richard's first son, Adolphus Durham. Lizzie Lance and Richard had one son also, Emmett Durham which is on the 1880 Dent Co MO census,! under Kinnamon. I tell you! Those crazy census takers, eh? I am still looking for Adolphus and Emmitt Durham. Does anyone know what happened to them? I was sent a land deed or transaction that was from Emmitt Durham to someone else and it mentioned Emmitt being from Wright Co MO in 1882 which means maybe that he was 21 and wanting to go out on his own, maybe he got married. Does anyone have a picture of Lizzie Lance Durham Kenamore or her children, Adolphus and Emmitt Durham. There are two Durham men who were in the Dent Co MO History Book-Willard O. Durham and Edwin Stuart Durham. Can anyone tell me about these two Dent Co MO men? Thank you in advance! PS...The parents of Lizzie Lance were Anthony Lance and Rosanna Simeral. Some of her siblings were born in White Co TN but Lizzie was born in Madison Co MO. The parents of Richard Durham, were Howell and Lucy Durham.
