Fourth Generation


22. Mary "Polly" DURHAM was born about 1805 in place unknown.20,44 It is not 100% proven that Mary "Polly" Durham is a daughter of William Durham and Susannah Hatcher. I place her here until I can find more evidence. Theory: The reasons I have placed her here are:

The 1810 Census for Surry County, North Carolina, for William Durham and Susannah Hatcher, show William with 3 young males; and 3 young females;

The 1820 Census for Stokes County, North Carolina, for William Durham and Susannah Hatcher, show William with 3 young males; and 2 young females; Armistead Durham is listed nearby.

The death certificate of Martha (Burge) Childers in Pulaski County, Kentucky, show her parents as, Father: Drury Burge; and Mother: Mary Durham;
(Kentucky Death Records, 1852-1953)

Drury Burge married Mary "Polly" Shelton on 4 Oct 1822 in Stokes County, North Carolina; (North Carolina Marriage Collection, 1741-2004)

Austin Durham married Peny Shelton on 13 Jan 1823 Stokes County, North Carolina; Bondsman: Drury Burge; Witness: Matt R. Moore, C
(North Carolina Marriage Bonds, 1741-1868)

More research is needed to prove or disprove this theory.
