76. Robert
William "Bob" DURHAM was born on 9 Jan 1870 in Kentucky.13,14,39,43,52,53 1900 Census
for Allen County, Kentucky states that Robert Durham was born in "1873"
but death records state "1870". Information from Sharon Clark states
Robert Durham's birth as "9 January 1869" in Kentucky. He died Chronic
Nephritis on 22 Aug 1927 in Allen County, Kentucky.13 Buried in Hopewell Cemetery. Informant listed as "Dyer
Durham"of Gainsville, Kentucky. It is not 100% proven that Robert William
"Bob" Durham is a son of Obediah F. Durham and wife Nancy found in
the 1870 Census for Allen County, Kentucky. I place him with this family until
I can find more concrete proof. Some at Rootsweb have this "Robert Durham"
listed as a son of Thomas G. Durham, but I feel it is more likely that the "Robert
Durham" who married Harriet Williams and living near Thomas G. Durham in
the 1900 Census for Sumner County, Tennessee, is more likely.
The Kentucky Death Certificate of "Bob Durham" of Allen County, Kentucky
shows Bob married to "Mandy", who I believe is "Amanda Sheilds"
and that his father's name is listed as "Dyar" Durham. The mother
is listed as "Not Known". The informant listed is also "Dyar Durham".
"Dyer" could be short for "Obediah". (More research is
needed.) Robert William "Bob" DURHAM and Amanda "Mandy" SHEILDS were married
about 1897 in Kentucky. Amanda "Mandy" SHEILDS
was born on 11 Oct 1877 in Kentucky.42,43,52,53 She died on 15 Jul 1957 in Allen
County, Kentucky. Information provided by Ken Hinds (by World Connect
