My husband's great-great grandfather Thomas DURRETT had a brother, Reuben DURRETT, who migrated to TN from AL. Reuben was a Col. in the civil war and an attorney in Louisville KY. He and his wife had three children. One son died, but he was survived by a son, William Thomas who became a physician in Louisville and a daughter. He did extensive research on the DURRETT line and donated his work to the Library of Chicago when he died. GGGF Thomas migrated to AR where he homesteaded until sometime after 1880. He returned to Tuscaloosa prior to his death and is buried there. His sons migrated to LA to homestead prior to 1900. Would be interested to hear about your mother's line if it connects to Col. Reuben. Carolyn
Briefly, my Durrett line goes like this... from now till then: Levy Durrett 12 Sept 1903 Green Co., KY Willis Durrett 1855 Green Co., KY Anderson Durrett ca 1811 Achilles Durrett Joel Durrett ca 1742 Caroline Co., VA poss... Bartholomew Durrett This is not a line I have researched myself... except for Levy and Willis.... the info I have comes from other family persons. Levy was my grandfather and owned a grocery store in downtown Louisville... I only met him once that I recall. I know a lot of this Durrett line still live in Green Co., KY. Sorry I am unable to help any more than this on a connection. If you see a connection please let me know.
