Madora Catherine young was born in Tennessee. Her father was Isaac C Young and her mother was Sarah Nancy A Harwell from Giles county, TN.

Jesse Richard Durham Parents were Isiah Durham and is on the jackson county alabama census with his parents in Jackson county for 185o and 1860. Mary Evans was his mother.

Jesse Richard Durham Was in the civil war and was a POW. Sent to Rock Island POW camp 22 Jan 1864. Madora drew a pension from his civil war record.

Irvan is buried next to his grand-parents. He shows up on the census for 1870 and 188o in the house with his parents. On the 1870 census their names are mis-spelled as darham. He married Rebecca 26 Feb 1884. She married William Haas 16 Feb 1898. There are no 1890 census records. But on the 1900 census her children from Irvin are in the house whth her and william Haas.

I did not know till now who Rebeccas parents were. Thanks for that info. That is probably why I could not find her before she married Irvin as the marriage record from ancestry has her last name as Branum.

I found her on the 1880 census and believe her mother to be buried in the Proctor Cemetery listed as S J Brandon Born 26 Mar 1832 and died 11 Mar 1918.
