Hi! I have more information on the Texas families. There has been a Davis/Durham family reunion most years. The Durham and Davis families married each other and it becomes quite confusing.

Here is a sample of the information I can share with you.
Burl Durham (b. 5 July 1925; d. 30 Apr 1994) married Pearl Davis (b. 18 Sept 1900 Falls Co., TX; d. Nov. 1970 Wichita Falls, TX) on 28 August 1925. They had 3 children: Burl Hubbard, Pearless Maxwell and Ralph Shelton.

Gustavas Shelton Durham (b. 9 Jan 1896 TX; d. 30 April 1962) married Bertha Gertude Beatrice Davis (b. 16 Nov 1906 Denton Co., TX; d. 4 April 1972 Wichita Falls, TX) on 9 Feb 1925. They had 5 children: Clell J., Paul L., Malcom C., Mildred C. and Royce E.
