Forum URL:http://genforum.genealogy.com/durham/Sorry, guys, LDS records notwithstanding, Thomas DURHAM 1661/1715 of
Richmond Co.VA married to Dorothy ??? is NOT the son of Gov. Henry DURHAM
of Bermuda. I bought that story too, but couldn't prove it was the same
Thomas. Finally I wrote Bermuda Archives, and received an abstract of a
lawsuit filed in Bermuda in 1734 that definitely proved that the Thomas
who was born to Gov. Hunt lived and died in Bermuda where he had a son
"Richard Durham of Sandys tribe marriner Eldest son and heir of Thomas
Durham Late of the same Gent: dec'd, who was the son of Henry Durham, Esq.
" The suit was in regard to property in Bermuda lately in the possession
of Judith DURHAM, Henry's wife. I would love to know also who the parents
of our Thomas of Virginia were, but they weren't Henry and Judith Hunt
DURHAM of Bermuda. I will say there is an outside chance there could be a
collateral relationship, since the father of Henry DURHAM of Bermuda also
named Thomas had other sons, who also may have had a son named Thomas, and
of course there was trading, etc. between Bermuda and Virginia during that
time, of which scant records were kept.. Incidentally, since these are our
ancestors also, Jim, I'd be really pleased to hear from you about clues
you have for the possible family for Dorothy and her sisters. Gene in

Forum URL:http://genforum.genealogy.com/durham/I think you are confusing Thomas DURHAM's. If I read what you are saying
correctly, you are saying that William SMOOT was the father of Dorothy who
married Thomas DURHAM, and that was the Thomas DURHAM he listed as his
"son-in-law" in his 1716 will.Thomas DURHAM married Dorothy [surname unknown]. They had a son Thomas
DURHAM, Jr. born ca. 1690 who married Mary SMOOT [born 7 April 1693],
daughter of William SMOOT, Sr. (of the 1716 will) and wife Jane. William
SMOOT, Sr. who wrote the will was probably born in the late 1640s or early
1650s, and not much older than Dorothy, wife of Thomas DURHAM.
