Message Board Post:
I am seeking information about the family of Esther (Hester?) Durnil b.1785 PA, m.1801 to
John T Roberts in Grayson, VA, d.1875 in Martinsburg, Washington, Indiana. I believe that
some of her Durnil family (brothers or cousins) also moved to Washington Co., Indiana from
Grayson, VA. I have no verification of Esther's parents or siblings. Parents are
possibly James & Phoebe Durnil or Durnell. (They would have been born in the 1750s
with at least one child born in PA.)
I have seen a Phoebe Chalfant b.1757 married to a James Durnell in PA. Phoebe
Chalfant's mother was Esther Baker b.1732 Chester, PA.
My current speculation because of the repeated names Esther & Phoebe (Esther Durnil
Roberts had a daughter named Phoebe) at this time is that the line looks like this:
1-Esther Baker b1732 PA 2-Phoebe Chalfant b.1757 PA 3- Esther Durnil b1785 PA. 4-Phoebe
Roberts b1811.
Can anyone confirm or refute any of this or add additional Durnil facts?
Does anyone have info about the Durnil family in Washington, IN?
Thanks,
Beverly
