Robert Durham's name appears on the marriage record for Elizabeth Durham and Thomas H. Brough, on 25 Oct 1816 in Halifax County, Virginia. I am assuming that Robert Durham is Elizabeth Durham's brother.

Robert Durham appears in the 1830 Census for Allen County, Kentucky. Robert is listed 20-30 years old, with a wife, 20-30 years old, and 2 young males 0-5. There is also an older "John Durham" (age 60-70) living in Allen County, Kentucky at the same time as Robert. In the 1820 Census for Allen County, Kentucky - John Durham appears at 45+ years. There is a young male between the age of 16-26 who matches the age of Robert Durham. John Durham is the most likely person to be Robert Durham's father. More research is needed.

Robert Durham appears in the 1840 Census for Allen County, Kentucky. He is listed between the age of 30-40 which matches his age in the 1850 Census for Allen County, Kentucky, where Robert is listed as 49 years old and born in Virginia. In 1840 - Robert and wife are listed with 6 young males below the age of 15, and 2 young females in the 0-5 range. 2 young males are between 10-15, which means they were born before 1830. These two young males do not appear with Robert and Catherine in the 1850 census. Most likely they have moved out. More research is needed.
