HEllo Ann Durr,
My name is Lee R Durr.
I am also an African American with last name Durr.
My family come from Magee Miss. Simpson Co.
Some of my family who still live on what is left of the 40 Acers.
I know this reply is almost one year later ... than your post...but.
I also have family in Birmingham Al.
Two brother move there around 1919.
Thier name was Ransom, Robert, and Carl Durr.
Also in Bham. Al were some Durr's of what is known to me no relation.

The Slave Master Name was Robert Durr
Rumor is that after the WAR Master Robert Durr moved to GA.

Hopefully..this help you and me
