More information for George Washington Durham, 24 Jun 2005. While I haven’t found any direct information that this George Durham is the son of John Hardin Durham, I think available makes that a “most likely”. George Washington Durham’s first wife was Sarah Rachel Burdine, born March 1879 Rockcastle County, I haven’t found a death date for her but believe GW was a widower when he married Willa Rector Proctor 1914 in Rockcastle County. GW married Sarah Rachel 9 July 1898 in Rockcastle. Their children were:
1. Elbert, born 11 May 1899 Rockcastle County, died 1971 Crawfordsville, IN.
2. Mary, born about 1902 KY.
3. Alfred, born about 1905 Rockcastle County.
4. Bert, born about 1910 KY.
5. Alberta, born about 1912 KY.

I have George Washington Durham’s birth as Dec 1875 Indiana, as noted above the birth listed on his gravestone is 1871. I have a death date for Ellen Daugherty, first wife of John Hardin Durham as Nov 1876. My theory is George was an infant and John Hardin left the baby with his sister, Mary Adams when his wife Ellen died. We know John H was in the area in 1877 as he was in a court case in Rockcastle concerning the estate of his father Joseph Durham.
Wila Rector Proctor Durham was the daughter of Thomas Rector, stepson of Joseph Durham. I will appreciate any information toward further identifying the parents of George W Durham.
