Angela, I think that you may want to print this out, draw some arrows here and there to help you follow some of these families from 1850-1880. James H. C. DURHAM appears to be the son of William R. & Elizabeth R. DURHAM. Apparently Margaret MCWHORTER married John MCKINNEY first and she was a dau of Jane MCWHORTER, b. Ireland, but her father died bef. 1850. Read over this and see if you agree, and if this makes sense to you. You may already have the info from the 1880 census, but since I wasn't sure, I thought I would send it first: 1880 Census Place: Liberty, Pickens, South Carolina Source: FHL Film 1255238 National Archives Film T9-1238 Page 137C Relation Sex Marr Race Age Birthplace James N.

DURHAM was married first to a MCKINNEY abt 22 yrs. bef. the 1880 census. I looked at the 1850 census, Eastern Dist. of Pickens Dist., SC, and found what looks like Margaret: House 287 Family 287 Jane MCWHORTER, age 40, f, w, Estate value $600, b. Ireland [This matches w/what Margaret said abt her mother's birthplace in 1880 above] Margaret A. MCWHORTER, age 16, f, w, b. SC Sarah A. MCWHORTER, age 14, f, w, b. SC Martha M.

Delores, Thanks for the information. Jane McWhorter, widow of Jeremiah Barnett McWhorter was born in Ireland. The info you and Melissa sent lays out a good case for this being the families I'm searching for. Thanks to both of you.
