ALEXANDER DURANT, SON OF BENJAMIN DURANT AND SOPHIE MIGILVRIE

carpediembeach — 2012-04-20 04:54:19Z

I've just rencently discovered that my GGG Grandfather is Alexander "Sandy" Durant of Pascagoula/Mississippi Territory/Pensacola who married Maria Rebeca Hartley.

It is said he was born around 1769 and died in Tampa Bay about 1816-1818. The only bit of information I am certain of is that his wife surfaced in Cuba in 1834 with two daughters - Teresa Durant and Josefa Durant.

I am trying to find more information about him and his life; he seems to be the only child of Benjamin and Sophie that is not chronicled in depth.

Would appreciate any information you can shed on this. Thank you.

carpediembeach — 2012-04-20 04:37:27Z

I've just discovered that my GGG Grandfather was Alexander "Sandy" Durant, son of Benjamin Durant and Sophie Magilvrey - is there any information about Alexander in your book?

There is little information about Alexander anywhere. His wife Maria Rebeca Hartley surfaces in Cuba in 1834 with two daughters Teresa Durant and Josefa Durant in detailed documents that I discovered recently from the Cathedral in Havana, Cuba. Thank you !!

Your James Durant seems to have been born in Prince Edward Island to John Durant and Hanna B. According to the Canada Census 1891, they were from England. James had several sisters.

Hi Kathleen,
I had an aunt who was born about 1912 in Union South Carolina by the name of Kathleen Jennings. Her dad's name was Willie Jennings and he was married to Ellen. For some reason I believe Willie had a brother named Roscoe. I'm just trying to put the pieces together. I know a lot of times, family members named their kids after their aunts, uncles etc. Just wondering if there is any relation. I am also african american and I am looking for my family.

Re: Stephen Harris Durant and William Cristy Durant

NolaMrtn1 — 2011-07-14 09:50:25Z

Hello,

I don't know if you know this or not but Stephen Harris Durant & Ann Cristy had son William Clark Durant who mar. Rebecca Folger Crapo and their son William Crapo Durant was the founder of General Motors.

Now I am told that my Durant's are kin to them, but just can't make the connection.

I also read that Ann Cristy Durant is buried with her husb. I think her parents might have just put all of their childrens names, births & deaths on their stone for whatever reason and most likely some of them are buried with them there. But all I find points to Ann being buried with her husb. Stephen Harris Durant, Sr.

How are you doing on this research?
The only help I can offer is maybe that family descends from George Durant who owned "Durant's Neck" in North Carolina? There is a book available on that family. Well keep us posted on your findings

asone124 — 2011-04-22 20:22:44Z

Hoping someone could help me put the link together. My husband, whose middle name is Durant, was told they were from the Durants of Oklahoma. I can not find any truth to this. His 4th GGmother is Nancy Duren m. W.H.Cundiff, lived in Crockett,Wise Co.,TX. 1830's - 1910. The only mention of D.D.Durant is from a memorandum book written by Cundiff in 1887.

Butler Julian Tarleton

gjt3rd — 2011-03-31 17:30:22Z

born about 1875,1876, 1877, 1878, or 1879

He first appears in the 1900 census in Calvary, Clarendon county, South Carolina.

He is related to Gadson Tarleton but they never appear in the census together.

He appears to have been orphaned as an infant and left to relatives for his care but I cannot find him. At age 22 he owns his own farm which means someone gave him some land or he inherited money.

Durants of Clarendon County, South Carolina

gjt3rd — 2011-03-31 17:25:30Z

I am wondering how the Gadson Tarleton family line and Durant family lines are related. I can see they are related in the census but am not sure how. Rufus Durant appears to be the uncle of Gadson Tarleton but am not sure if it's through his wife or a sister.

Ann Durant and Charles Emerson, Norfolk, England

Janet_Burdon — 2011-01-31 13:16:01Z

I am trying to identify the birth, marriage and death records and parents of the above couple. A number of public trees have Ann's parents as Gregory Durant and Sarah Blanchflower. Can anyone point me towards sources for this information?
Ann and Charles had 7 children that I am aware of, but have not been able to trace to source documents. William (1787 - ), John (1789 - ), Mary (1790 - 1865, married John Pointer 1813 Binham Priory, Norfolk - whose son William Pointon is my gt gt grandfather), John (1793 - ), Joseph (1795 - 1874), Alice (1798 - ) and Susanna (1805 - 1835). Has anyone been able to locate birth / baptism records for the Emerson children?
thanks

I really appreciate your efforts. I thought of another way, do you have any info on Jefferson Durant's children? I know another child was named/nicknamed Chuka as he is named in the same probate records as Louisa. If I can get the other kids' names, maybe I can find their enrollments and get more info that away.

James and Penelope Durant

ClarieneBrown — 2010-12-18 00:55:59Z

I have a document that shows that Penelope owed money to Samuel Coats and his will left land to his brother Anthony. The document shows that just enough land was sold to meet the debt owed and allow Penelope to live on in the home. Dated 1735 and Norfolk is listed as place. Also King George is mentioned. There was a Norfok in Mass., and maybe elsewhere....If this sounds like something your looking for - contact me.

Marriage 1 Minerva BIRCH b: ABT 1780
Married: ABT 1798 in St. Andrews Church East, Quebec (Must be verified)
Children
John Volyn DURANT b: 1800 in Lower Canada, Quebec
Francis J. DURANT b: 1811 in Lachute, Quebec, Canada
Charles A. DURANT b: 7 OCT 1814 in Lachute, Quebec
Alexander DURANT b: 3 OCT 1825 in Lachute, Quebec

From Gordon Strader: The traditional story of the Durants coming into Ontario was that Francis Durant Sr. with 4 sons came to a farm located between Dunbar and Elma. The four sons were John Volyn (b. 1800) with wife Rosella Dupreau; Francis Jr.(b. 1812) with wife Ann Hudbson (on tombstone) (Hudson on other documents); Charles (b. 1815)and Alexander, (b. 1825). Note there is no mention of the wife of Francis Sr. The traditional date I heard quoted by some of the elderly for the treck into Ontario was 1832. Alex would be only 7 years old.
Erva (nee Armstrong)Durant, wife of Ronald Durant has located the Durants, Armstrong and Barkley families as very close neighbors in the Elma district. Tom Henderson operates a slaughter house on what he claims was the Peter Barkley Farm. It is about 1 mile due East of Elma. The recorded ages on the census I use only as a guide (not too accurate). John Volyn was born 1800, would be 52 in 1852. His son William, born 1830, would have been 22 years old in 1852. These are the only possible John and William Durants in that area at or near that time.

What can you tell me about Minerva's family?
