Notes

• Clayton Durham was a devisee under the will of John Durham Sr, of Kent Co., Delaware, dated 09 Apr 1788. No relationship is specifically stated in the will, but he is mentioned last in the will, after sons and daughters and "my son John Durham's children." It is possible that he was a son of John Durham Jr, who died in Kent Co., Delaware, in 1776. But in the final account of the estate of John Durham Sr, settled in 1796, Clayton Durham is listed as "a son and legatee."
