I am Joy’s brother in-law (Richard) and I am fielding the messages on the Board for her as she was hurt and is not able to use her computer for a limited time.

Joy and I have been working for some time together with a large group of family members to correct the invalid information that is on the Web and the missing information from the American Indian’s in the family. The information that you have sent us in the attached message needs some major corrections and we have additional information that you may like to have. We have the family back to 1630 in France, Scotland, Wales and England along with the major links to the American Indian’s and about a total of 18,000 persons from multiple parts of the family which have all been verified by various family members.

May I ask where you got your information and how it is proven?

NOTE: This is our information on Colonel Richard Durrett I and his wife Sarah Hampton side of family.

Jacob Watts (Rev.) b. 09 Jul 1730 in Stoney Point, Goochland County, Virginia After 1744 was known as Stoney Point, Albemarle County, Virginia, d. 14 Apr 1824 in Stoney Point, Albemarle County, Virginia

They had 5 children which we have all names and dates.

NOTE: The rest of the Durrett’s in France back to 1630 will be listed only by Name and birth date with wife. A BIG change in last name is valid from the move to England. Other information is available.

wife Antonia (2nd ) Unknown b. 1655

wife Antonia (1st )Unknown b. 1633

NOTE: The following information from you has the wrong children with the wrong parents.

You will note that there is no connection to Bartholomew with this line of the family. Contact me for more information if your family thinks that they are connected with Barthalamew de Durett’s (Spelling is correct) line whom which father was William de Durett . This line of the family also has a Richard Durrett b. 1708 but he was killed (by Indians?)unknown date and location, he was married but had no family.

Francois Larrain de Durett I. did have a son Bartholomew Durrett b. 1700 in Bourges Berry, Cherbourg, Centre, France and he married a Mary Van Hook. But he did not have a daughter Elizabeth.

Hi Durrett researchers I'm helping to research the surname for my niece's father-in-law. I have a Samuel Durrett born in 1888 in the district of Gloucester. I believe that his mother's maiden name was STOKES but I'm searching for her given names. Samuel married an Ada Payne born around 1884 in Cirencester, England. I believe that Ada's mother's maiden name was ROSE.So I am asking for assistance to find the given names for Samuel and Ada's mothers given names, and any further information on these names. Thank you.

Hello Everyone

I just found out that my gg-grandfather,
Marion Landers b. 14/Feb/1829 Ky - d. 24/Sep/1903 Madison, Jefferson co. Ky
buried: Springdale Cem. Madison, Jefferson co. IN
was the son of John Landers and Milly Durrett, according to IN State Death Certificate.
He was a ship's carpenter/planker by trade.
Did he apprentice under Achilles Durrett?

She MAYBE the dtr of Achilles Durrett.
Since I am not sure, I don't know if anyone has Milly in the family, if they do, please contact me with any information you are willing to share.
I believe their marriage license is under the name of SANDERS, in Green co. Ky - md 3/Mar/1825 MR BK "B".

DinaBeattie — 2010-09-30 03:58:29Z

There is so much mis-information in this post that I don't know where to begin....sorry to be harsh, and possibly you have more frequent updated and correct information. I will apologize in advance if this is the case. For others:

The Woods-McAfee regarding wife as Mary Van Hook is totally incorrect and after personally reviewing this publication (?) there was no mention of their marriage in this document what-so-ever. that seems to be quoted frequently.

Francois Parrain de Durette took Oath of Naturalization in London. He stated his father was Paul Parrain de Durette and that his mother wa Antonio, born in France. There are two marriage License Allegations one in March 1699 and one in March 1700. Both state he was 30. = Born 1670. (2 different women) He then shows up in Jersey as a Rector in 1724 or 25. He is NOT the same Francis as bought land in 1724 in Virginia. Can't be in two places at once. He could be some of our Durrett's father, but no proof one way or the other.

Louis Duret was physician in 1500's...I can't seem to get back before 1700, let alone another 200 years.... Note in any of these publications, there is not any information about who those ancestors were for those 200 years.
Would someone please provide souces and documentation?

The 3 brothers is also urban legend and without quoted source. Once published and once quoted has seemed to become "true". There is not one shred of evidence of these Durrett's in early Virginia as being brothers, though most of us do believe they are related somehow. We are doing DNA testing with KNOWN descendants and proven paperwork to establish lines. We are looking for more Durrett males, but to check out current results, please see www.worldfamilies.net/surnames/durrett/results

Francis and Bartholomew were closely related. cousins maybe

Hope some of this helps. Dina (Durrett) Beattie

May I inquire which Richard you are referring to?
Richard that m/Sarah Hampton (homestead off Preddy's Creek, aka Wakefield Plantation near Earlysville. He was son of John and Mary as proven through a lawsuit.
Richard that m/Sarah Marshall, father unknown
Bartholomew, brother's and father unknown, though he did
have a very close relationship with Francis, which has been proven through DNA. He also was a relation somehow to John and Mary (son Richard that m/Sarah Hampton. )

On the 1900 census, I have a Virginia Durrett living with my great great grandparents (Henry and Mahala Miller). It list Virginia as a sister-in-law to Henry. It also shows her as being widowed, married in 1857 and was married for 43 years. She was born around 1842. I'm wondering who she was married to, if she is Mahala's sister or Henry's brothers wife. Any information would be great.

Re: Richard Durrett m. Elizabeth Davis

roncomptr — 2009-12-07 01:32:40Z

Hi Alvie

What are John Frederick Dorman doubts of this relationship?

Richard Durrett Jr. who married Elizabeth Davis did NOT marry Sarah Hampton. Richard Durrett's father married Sarah Hampton. So which Richard Durrett are you taking about?

There are more than one Richard Durrett's in the Durrett Family all born or died around the same time period. So please put the date of birth (When and Where) and death (When and where) of the Richard you are looking for. So that I can be sure I have the right Richard.

Richard Durrett JR's father Richard Durrett Sr. died 8 Oct 1784 in Albemarle County, Virginia married Sarah Hampton.

Then their is Richard Durrett Sr who died 4 Jul 1767 in Spotsylvania County, Virginia and he married Sarah Marshall. They to had a son Richard, too. But I don't know who this Richard married.

Which one of Richard Durrett JR's and Elizabeth Davis children does the person you are helping connect to?

Are you trying to connect to the Hampton's or the Durrett's?

You can email me at jmdgenealogy AT yahoo.com

Thank you.

I am helping someone try to get membership into the Jamestowne Society through the Durrett/Hampton connection. I see lots of statements that Richard Durrett married Sarah Hampton, dzughter of William Hampton of Caroline County, VA but no one can offer any sort of proof of this connection.
The Jamestowne Society will only accept documents. Even John Frederick Dorman, the dean of VA research puts forth some doubts of this kinship.
Any help is appreciated.

We have someone who has done a DNA test for Col Richard Durrett Sr died 8 Oct 1784 in, Albemarle County, Virginia burial Wakefield Plantation, Earlysville, Albemarle County, Virginia. The results show that Col Richard Durrett Sr is NOT from Bartholomew's line. His father's name was John Durrett and his mother's name was Mary maiden name unknown from St George Parish Virginia. The DNA results show that Col Richard Durrett Sr d. 1784 is related to Richard Durrett born 7 Jan 1712, Albemarle Co, VA died 4 Jul 1767 Spotsylvania County, Virginia m. Sarah Marshall. It is unknown at this time how exactly they are related.

My great grandfather's name was Raymond "Dock" Durrett (1833-1957). His father was Anderson H. Durrett (1833). The other headstone I found says Anderson H. Durrett, Jr. (1857-1887). I'm assuming he was AH Durrett's son. I do know that Raymond Durrett was the youngest of several children of AH Durrett, Sr. Was just curious if AH Durrett, Jr. ever married or had any kids. He was only 30 years old when he died.

Who was your Grandfather? and when was he born? That might help us locate the right family.

Thank you.

Anderson Hamilton Durrett, Jr.

Does anyone have any info about A.H. Durrett, Jr.? I found his headstone in our family cemetery in Parker County, TX. Dates on headstone say 1857-1887. All I know is he was my great grandfather's brother. Was curious if he ever married or had a family.
