Second Generation

4. Elijah M. DURHAM was born about 1815 in Georgia.^8,9,10,11,12 Elijah M. Durham, age 47, is listed as "brickmason" in the 1860 Census for Jackson County, Georgia (Harrisburg).

In the 1850 Census for Jackson County, Georgia (Subdivision 45), John Bentley Durham, age 18, is listed in the household of Elijah M. Durham and wife Elizabeth J. (Justice).

In the 1840 Census for Jackson County, Georgia, Elijah Durham (age 20 - 30) is listed as Head of Household. Elijah Durham does not marry til 1842. There are 3 younger males listed with Elijah, and 3 females. One female is listed at 60-70, which is most likely Elijah's mother.

The 1840 Census shows Elijah Durham living near "Moses Potts" and "James Bailey". Moses Potts and James Bailey are also listed in 1830 Census living near "William Durham" and "Anderson Durham". Anderson Durham is the older Durham and does have a young male who matches the age of Elijah Durham. I have currently placed Elijah Durham and William Durham as children of Anderson Durham. More research is needed.
