Hello Goldie,
I, too, am searching for the parents of Bedford Parker Durham, Sr. but I've hit a brick wall.
He was married in 1813 to
Nancy Coffey, born 9/10/1788 in Globe, Burke County, N.C., died 4/19/1866 in Owen County, IN. (Her second marriage was to Joel Anderson Dyer born 1809.)
Nancy Coffey was the daughter of
Reuben Coffey born 1744 in Essex County, VA, died 1813 in Fairfax, N.C. and Sarah "Sally" Scott born 1750,died 10/23/1837 in Globe Valley, N.C.
I have ancestors of hers all the way back to Hugh Coffey born in 1598 in Kerry County, Ireland; John Bellame born in 1420 in England; and Rafe Blagrove born in 1482 in Stafford, England.
My line from Bedford Parker Durham, Sr. is through his son, Robert B., born July 1819 in TN, and died 1907 in Lincoln County,TN. He married 1/13/1841 to Elizabeth Riggs born January 1821 in VA and died in TN. Robert is my GGGrandfather.
I hope this helps.
