I decscend from Anderson Durham though Elijah Mathis Durham also. In a correspondence from Mary Louise Durham Wilson of Salinas KS. dated 25Jul1985, she stated that Anderson Durham was the orphan son of a Rev. War Solder who died from wounds recieved during the RW. That the father had three sons fighting in the Rev. After the father died, Anderson was apprenticed to a man named Carter to learn brick and Stone masonry work. he then moved to GA. She listed his place of birth as Halifax Co. VA. I have been unable to verify any of this infomation and would be very interested in hearing your comments as well as recieving information about the Durham Genalogy that is to be published.
