Durham and Dooley Surname
I have recently ran across information that Alpha Virginia Hughes daughter of Isaac Hughes and Melvina Slemp Hughes marreid William Durham 10-7-1870.. In 1880 Perry Co., KY census it reads as follows:
Hughes, Melvina age 67
Hughes, Virginia age 26
Durham, Dorthua age 10
Durham, William age 7
Durham, John age 3
Durham, Bascom age 1
Now we have thought for years that Alpha Virginia Hughes married John Dooley but have found nothing on him and no one knows a thing about him.. Virginia came to Owsley Co., KY with no John or William and several small children and they carried the name Dooley and recently this is the first we have heard of the Durham name... Can any one help on this one it has been a BIG PUZZLE!!!!
