Second Generation


5. Joseph M. J. DURHAM was born on 5 Oct 1845 in Kentucky.2,3,5,11,12,13,14 He died Hypertensive heart on 20 Mar 1934 in Parksville, Boyle County, Kentucky.11 Buried in Nicholasville, Kentucky. Informant at death listed as "J. H. Urton" of Parksville, Kentucky. The Kentucky Death Records, 1852-1953 (Boyle County), shows Joseph Durham, age 89 listed as son of "Billie Durham" of KY and "Eliza Johnson" of KY. The death date is 20 March 1934, which puts Joseph Durham's birth around 1845. But the death certificate shows the birth as "Oct 5, 1854", which I believe to be an error. I have chosen to use the birthdate of Joseph Durham as "5 October 1845" of KY. The informant listed is J. H. Urton of Parksville, Kentucky.

In the 1910 Census for Boyle County, Kentucky (Perryville - District 23), Joseph Durham, age 65 and "widowed" is listed as "Father-in-Law" in the household of John H. Urton and wife Ollive F. (I believe this to be the same J. H. Urton who is the "informant" listed on the death certificate of Joseph Durham)
