  • Notes 

    • Commentary: DWD 4.119

      James F. Durvin and his wife, Elizabeth Hardyman were married 16 Sep. 1844 in Louisa County and six years later in May 1850, I have copy of a deed of Trust placed on the 70 acres of land where they lived in order to guarantee a bond for twelve hundred dollars, used to buy a 240 acre tract of land elsewhere in Louisa County.

      During the Civil War, James F. Durvin served in Co. H, 47th Virginia Infantry Regt. CSA, which was organised 11 June 1861, and was deployed in the defence of Richmond at the time that James was taken sick and died in May 1862. All of James and Elizabeth Durvin's children were born in Louisa County, VA.
