Hi Linda I remember reading someplace that there was speculation that
Philip Durbin and Mary Plowman were the parents of Matthias Durbin. Here is what I have in
my database as children for Philip and Mary.
Mary Jane DURBIN b: 8 JAN 1797 in Ohio Keziah DURBIN Margaret "Peggy" DURBIN b:
28 NOV 1799 in Ohio Mathais DURBIN b: 1810 in Ohio Philip DURBIN Nancy DURBIN b: ABT 1814
I show that Mathais and Patience were married on 13 JAN 1831 in Warren County, Ohio Hope
this is of some help to you.
