Hi there, This is another message just in case my last one didn't make it. I am researching the Durham family from Eastland Co TX. This Durham family migrated from Hall Co GA to Ozark and Douglas Co MO and then over towards St Francois Co MO but then in 1869, my gg grandfather, one of the 11 children of Howell J. Durham and Lucinda Woodliff, migrated to Eastland Co TX after their marriage in 1869. Names associated with this family are: Francis Marion Lance of Eastland Co TX-daughter Brittania J. or Anna Lance who first married Ellison Monroe McGough and then Andrew Jackson McDaniel. F.M. Lance's nephew, Joseph F. Murray was also in Eastland and Wise Co TX. There was also a Francis Marion Bourland with wife E.E. Bourland who I think might be the brother of our gg grandmother, Mary Catherine Bourland Durham (Solon's wife). He isn't on the family history of Samuel U. Bourland for St Francois Co MO but he fits right in their family with his birthdate and he was in Eastland Co TX with Mary and family and he is a witness on the conf pens appl for Francis Marion Lance who married one of our Durham siblings. Other names associated with us in Texas were: LANGFORD, LEWIS, FAULTER (Stonewell OK-1900), McKnight (Herd OK 1897), Atwood (Childress Co TX), RILEY, BARTHOLOMEW, BENTON (Childress or Hardeman Co TX), Here is what I have for our Durhams in a time line. Any questions and I can send the whole file which is quite a bit. PS....Solon was at one time (from what I read in a newspaper article written by his daughter) the only doctor in Eastland Co TX and Albany Texas. He became a doctor in 1907. He was a doctor of Allopathy. Does anyone know what that is? Julie Hamilton gingerbredgirl@hotmail.com PPS...If anyone can do a lookup for me for marriage, I need to find out when Francis Emmitt Durham married Gracie Elizabeth Burnett. She was from OK and they were in OK for the birth of their first child with other children of Solon and Mary so Francis and Gracie might have married in OK and not TX but I wanted to check. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ DURHAM TIME LINE 1775- aprox, Anderson Durham was born 1797- Anderson Durham married Rebekah Jarrett, daughter of Howell Jarrett and Jane Coats 1798- William Jarrett Durham was born Wilkes Co GA 1800- Howell J.
