DURBIN
Has anyone researching the Durbin line found any proof or reasonable evidence that shows/names the children of Augustine “Austen” Durbin and Sarah Richardson? Am familiar with the court papers where Jordon Durbin, died in 1893 abd left his widow, Rebecca, and also named his brothers and sisters…being, Joseph, John (John Goodman), Allen (my line), Nancy, Susie, Patsey and Matilda. I know that Jordon Durbin is buried in the Durbin cemetery on the Jim Wince land, not far from Wolf Creek Cemetery. A stone is also there for his wife, Rebecca. I would just like to find some real evidence that makes the connection that the above names are the children of Augustine and Sarah and not just the assumption.
