She was born 31 July 1873; married 1 March 1897 in Putnam County, IN to Jacob B. Miller b 18 Dec 1868. Jacob was a painter and farmer. They lived in Bridgeton, later Terre Haute, IN.

According to Howard Durie's book, Anne Walls Duree was living with her son Peter in Missouri at the time of her death. She died 11 Jan 1860 and is buried in the Pickett-Duree Cemeery in Somerset Township, Putnam County, Missouri. These dates were taken from Samuel's Bible, a copy of which was furnished to Mr. Durie by a descendant in 1954.

Earlier in the narrative there is this information. Samuel Duree b 12 March 1775 married Anne Walls on 18 July 1796 in Mercer County, KY. Anne Walls was b 16 Feb 1774, daughter of George Walls and Mary Jefferson of Berkeley County, VA (now WV) George Walls served 1781-1783 in the Revolutionary War as Major and Quartermaster General Of Colonel Crockett's Illinois Regiment, Virginia State Troops. Also that Anne was left a share of land covery by treasury warrants totalling 4445 acres in KY, together with a share of the personal estate of her father. Will made 6 June 1785 and proved in Berkeley County.

Anna Walls, who married Samuel Duree, was the daughter of
Major George Walls, who was in charge of Ft. Nelson in Jefferson County, Kentucky when he died abt Feb. 1, 1786. I am descended from one of Anna's sisters. When and where did Anna Duree Miller die?

Ms. Thielmann,

RE: Annie B. Duree (b. 25 September 1877)

Do you know anything about this lady? On my father's side, he had a grandmother named Annie Miller (nee Duree, married Jacob Miller - dates unknown). She was part of a group of Durees who lived in and around Rockville, Parke County, Indiana (almost due west of Indianapolis, almost at the Indiana-Illinois state line).

Also, if you know, are these Durees related back to Jean Durier (I read another of your posts in which you stated that most Durees in the U.S. are from this root).

Thank you in advance.

David, I received your email and responded a few weeks ago but did not receive a reply back. Since then, because I did not use it often enough, the hotmail account was temporarily closed, so perhaps you responded but I missed it. I have reactivated it. I think I also sent you an email from my other account?
Hoping to hear from you.

Re: Jeff Seth Duree

Suzanne_Thielmann — 2007-02-04 23:50:46Z

If you need Jeff Seth's ancestry, let me know. He is in the eighth generation of the Jean Durier line that includes the names of Duree, Durie, Duryea, DuRee, DuRie as well as Durier.

Re: Jeff Seth Duree

SLacey4977 — 2007-02-04 21:28:19Z

Thanks for all the information. Iris R Briggs was my great-aunt. I do not know what her middle name was, but since it's listed as Lois (Iris) R Duree on the Census I will try to find out. She always went by the name Iris, but it's possible that her middle name was Rovana. Will have to find out. My research is mainly with my Briggs line. The information that you have given has been very helpful and I will add it to my genealogy. Thanks again for all your help. If I find out Aunt Iris's middle name I will let you know. It may solve the mystery.

Re: Jeff Seth Duree

Suzanne_Thielmann — 2007-02-04 13:50:47Z

The early records that Howard Durie left were extensively documented through legal records and first person narratives. However, the records of the later generations relied on questionnaires sent to family members and some of those reports were not as accurate. The information on Jeff Seth may have been supplied by one of his half siblings or even by a cousin. The name Rovana may have been a first or middle name of Iris's or the supplying relative may have given the wrong name. Most of the information on this family between 1690 and the early 1800s is very reliable. Info from about 1880 on . . . not so much.

I missed a few details in my last post. Francis Marion's 4th wife, Anna, who outlived him remarried 3 Dec 1904 to James W. Pretty. Francis Marion is buried in the Shaul Cemetery in Ottumwa.

Later in the book there is a contradiction to the information I gave you from page 200. According to page 255, Samuel Omer and Mabel (Myrtle died young) were the children of Francis Marion and Mary E. Cook and not the children of Anna Forbes. Only Blanche and Jeff Seth seem to be the children of Anna.

Samuel Omer (a half-sibling of Jeff Seth) and his wife Maude M. Hasty used the DuRee form of the name. He is also the last person recorded as having possession of a family bible belonging to Samuel Durie b. 1775. Maude was county recorded for Keokuk County, IA for many years and furnished Howard Durie with photocopies from this bible. They adopted a niece of Maude's, Lucille born about 1904. I assume that she inherited the bible. She married a D. Louis Stark, but the information ends there.

There is no further information in the book on Blanche. Is that your grandmother? I'd love to have her information if that is possible.

Iris Briggs Duree was my fathers Aunt. Jeff Seth Duree was an electrician at the theater in Des Moines. Family story is the he was on a ladder changing a lightbulb when he fell and broke his neck. He lived but was immobile. About a year later, Aunt Iris brought home a kitten. Jeff Seth Duree was laying on the couch and the kitten jumped down ontop of him and reinjured his neck. He died sometime later. ....Story is as told to me by my Father, her nephew.
Don't know if he was married before.
