Hello list! This is my first posting, so bear with me please.
I am looking for information about my great-great grandmother, Paralee
(or Susan Paralee) Durham, born between 1849 and 1852 (diferent dates
between census, family records and gravestone). Birthplace unknown but
probably Laurel Co., KY. Paralee married William PETERS in 1869 and had
11 children. Paralee died in 1895.
I know from family records that Paralee had 2 siblings, Lottie Durham
(married a Tankersley) and Tilford Durham.
Through other researchers, I have learned that Paralee, Lottie and
Tilford's probable parents were Annie Durham and LEMUEL CASTEEL of
Laurel Co.,KY. Lemuel was born June 30, 1820 in Laurel Co., KY and died
May 25, 1902 in Laurel Co., KY.
It has been documented that Lemuel had a common law marriage to Annie
Durham's sister Minerva Durham (took out a marriage bond but no license
exists) in 1842. He later married Henrietta Moberley about 1855. I am
mainly interested in information if it exists surrounding Lemuel's
relationship with Annie (some say Nancy Ann) Durham and about Lemuel
himself.
Lemuel's father was JOHN H. CASTEEL, born 1778 in Virginia. He married
Eleanor (Elon) Metcalf in 1803.
Appreciate any info on Lemuel that is available! Thanking you in
advance for your help!
