Notes
a. Note:   Husband was James Singleton Durham . He and family are in Raone Co. in 1830. In 1840 she is head of household. Evidence for believing Charlotte's maiden name was Murphy or Morphew (this was taken from a website for the Morphew family name.) (1). (Probably) Charlotte Murphy( Morphew), born 1807 North Carolina and living beyond 1860. Charlotte's maiden name being a Morphew was suggested by Barb (Durham) Smith, in her e-mail of 6 March 2005. Charlotte married Singleton Durham about 1826. "Charlotte belonged to the Prospect Baptist Church in Roane County...and wrote a letter of resignation about 1852" (e-mail of Barb Smith 24 March 2005). No family records mention her. The following associations strongly suggest a relationship to the Morphews. (a). 1830 U.S. Census of Roane County: Singleton Durham next to Obediah Murphey. Singleton and Charlotte then go separate ways by 1840. (b). 1840 U.S. Census of Roane County: Charlotte Dearham without a husband is next to Richard Snow, who married Sarah J. Morphew in 1829. (c). 1850 U.S. Census of Roane County: Charlotte Durham is two entries away from Richard + Sarah Morphew Snow. (d). 1860 U.S. Census of Wright County, Missouri: Charlotte Durham now living in household of son, James Harvey Durham + Sarah E. (Rose) Durham. Two entries away are Hiram + Emeline Murphy/Morphew. (e). The name "Charlotte" is used for children's names by Sarah Morphew Snow and Hiram Murphy/Morphew. Likewise, Charlotte used the name of "Hiram" for one of her children. **************************************************************************************************************************** Charlotte left Roane County TN between 1852 and 1856. By 1857, she, James Harvey and Sarah J (Rose) and family ended up in Wright County Missouri. In my notes for Hiram Hansford Durham there is information from his War Pension Application that he and his family had moved to Missouri in 1852 and stayed until 1854. Families traveled together and in this case, the Durham's, Rose's, Murphey's Box's and others were in Missouri by 1852 or so. Charlotte wrote a letter of resignation to the Prospect Baptist Church that same year. 1850 Census Roane County, Tennessee ln. 30, Household 358, Family 378 Charlotte Durham, 43, b. in North Carolina (children all born in Tennessee) Hiram, 20 (this is Hiram Hanford Durham, who later moved back to TN with his wife Nancy C. Everett) John, 18 James H, 16 Nancy C. , 22 Hiram's wife Charlotte had remarried by 1870. In the 1870 Census she is listed in the household of Robert Box. In the pension statement for John M. Durham, there is a Charlotte Box who claims to have been the midwife for the birth of Thomas M. by Rachel Pierson Durham. She had signed her name and then crossed it out and resigned. It appears the crossed out signature may be Charlotte Durham. There also is a Charlotte Box who is named in Mira Ann Durham Forkner's 'will' regarding the care of her daughter, Thersa. I found this information regarding the 1870 Wright County MO census: NOTE: The 1870 census was not taken at the households but at a central location, requiring the residents to go participate on their own. This supposedly resulted in a lot of families not being accounted for. (This info was given to (me) by the Wright Co MO Historical Society.)
