Second Generation


3. George W. DURHAM was born about 1831 in Tennessee.2,3 One Theory: George W. Durham, b. ca 1835 may be a child of Mary Durham who married Barnabus Johnson.

The 1840 Census for DeKalb County, Tennessee, shows Abraham Durham, (age 30-40); John Durham, (30-40); Thomas Durham, (50-60), none of which show a child, age 5, that would match the age of George W. Durham. More research is needed.

In the 1850 Census for DeKalb County, Tennessee (District 4), George W. Durham, age 15 and born in "Tennessee" is listed in the household of Barnabus Johnson and wife Mary. (NOTE: There is a B. L. Johnson (age 20-30) is also listed in the 1840 Census living near Abraham and John Durham.)

In the 1860 Census for DeKalb County, Tennessee (District 4), Elizabeth (Vier) Durham, age 28, and Thomas Durham, age 1, are listed in the household of William Vier and wife Francis.

In the 1880 Census for DeKalb County, Tennessee (District 5 - District 28), George Durham, age 45 and "widowed" is listed as "nephew" in the houshold of Isaac Johnson, age 65 and wife Mary, 58. There is also a "mother-in-law" listed for Isaac Johnson with the name "Mary Scurlock". Isaac Johnson, b. 1816 and Barnabus Johnson, b. 1818, are possibly brothers.
