NOTES
Cumby was previously called Black Jack Grove. There may be records reported for
Black Jack Grove and/or Cumby. The state of Texas did not require certification
until 1903. Hopkins County clerk verified Edna Durham, b. June 12, 1898; Samuel
Waldon Durham, b.November 21, 1900 to parents William Bate Durham, Mary Elizabeth
Rippy. Clerk did not verify town of Cumby. 3/4/2010 and 3/9/2010.
I sent an email to Don Cameron of Cameron and Hill Families of Texas to verify
his proof source. I have not received a reply.

Subject: Bate vs. Bates
From: Michele Durham
Date: March 8, 2010
Byron,
Nick names were a common occurrence in large families. The Durham family had
their fair share. From the information I have gathered William Bate Durham was
known as “Bates” while he was in Sumner County. The obituary in the
Sumner Co. publication for his wife Armiza Brown was listed as “Mrs. Bates
Durham”. In a personal paper of his, he refers to himself at Bates. But
that name did not follow him out West.
Once heading west he uses William B. and Will B. His name is listed as William
Bate on birth records in Hopkins County, TX. Based on his application of two
birth certificates in Texas his formal name should be listed as William Bate
Durham in your Durham data base.
Again, thank you for your work with tracking the Durham family.

Subject: Re: DURHAM REVISIONS
Byron,
Thank goodness, almost 100 years ago, someone wrote a descriptive obituary with
a helpful explanation. See Obituary above. Anglea is/was a small community outside
of Gallatin, TN. Her place of death is "near Anglea"...according to
her obit. (Joe Durham was her brother-in-law.)
"In the 1910 Census for Sumner County, Tennessee (Civil District 14 - District
144), James Durham, age 70 and "widowed", is listed in the household
of Joe J. Durham and wife Ida P."
