volume/page/certificate number: fn 782 cn 350 Susan "Susie" (Gravelly) (Durham), Abraham, age 44, is living in Rockingham County, North Carolina in the 1920 Census. She is married to George Abraham of Syria. Robert Durham, age 25, and Fred Durham, age 23, are listed as "step-sons" in this household. There is another "step-son" listed by the name of "Claud Durham", age 16. Susan Durham is listed as "widow" in the 1900 census for Surry County, NC - but the death certificate of Claude Roy Durham shows he was born on 24 July 1904, and his parents are "Robert Durham" and "Susan Gravely". The informant may have been mistaken about the birth year of Claude - and he most likely was born before 1900. Marriage Records for Surry County, North Carolina show R. W. Durham and Susan Gravelly married 25 Oct 1890 in Surry County, North Carolina. Since Susan is listed as "widow" in the 1900 census for Surry County, NC, then Robert Durham must have died before 1900.

The death certificate of Mary Estelle Abraham, born 1915, died 1918, shows her parents to be - George Abraham and "Susan Durham". But another death certificate of an "infant female" (premature birth) shows her parents to be George Abraham and "Susan Gravelly". Robert "Bob" William DURHAM and Susan C. GRAVELLY had the following children:
