if you are related to Eleasor Durden b 20 Jan 1809 and died 2 Mar 1861 buried in Barwick Cem in Emanuel Co GA then You are kin to me and we believe the ancestry not to be from Isle of Wright at all
This Eleasor married Mary Barwick
His parents were William Durdino aka William Durden
who married Mary Dekle
This William b 1775 d 1845 was a brother to my my JOhn Durdin in NC they are all mostly Durdino then when they all came to GA (Montgomery Co first)they are Durdin/Durden and Durdino in court records we have then as Durden and Durdino in montgomery co ga
The names of William's children was obtained from the Sherrif's deed Wayne Co NC 1 Nov 1806

Jacob Durdino/Durden, William Durdino/Durden, Absilla Durdino aka Durdin the husband of William Hooks
and my JOhn Durdino aka JOhn Durdin
(William Hooks even filed for a RW Pension in Emanuel Co GA)
it appears from the records in Montgomery County, Georgia that the above William and Absilla Hooks may have gone to Georgia with the rest of the family and neighbors.

BASSES (BASS'S) line to the beginning, Containing fifty acres of Land be the same more or less, Containing the plantation whereon JOSIAH ELLIS is now living,[Note by AMD: Josiah Ellis was husband of PENNY DURDINO ELLIS; so this means William was selling his daughter's home and that of her husband, Josiah Ellis, to JOHN BARNES.This seems unlikely to have happened.]

I AM SUSPICIOUS OF THIS DEED BECAUSE, ALTHOUGH IT PURPORTS TO HAVE BEEN SIGNED BY WILLIAM DURDINO ON FEBRUARY 7, 1804,IT WAS NOT RECORDED UNTIL WELL AFTER THE ESTATE OF WILLIAM DURDINO HAD BEEN SETTLED BY JOHN BARNES, THE ADMINISTRATOR OF WILLIAM'S ESTATE, JOHN BARNES BEING THE RECIPIENT OF THIS FIFTY ACRES OF LAND NEARLY EIGHT YEARS AFTER THIS DEED WAS SUPPOSEDLY SIGNED BY WILLIAM DURDINO.WHY WOULD JOHN BARNES HAVE WITHHELD THIS DEED FOR EIGHT YEARS?
IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO SEE IF JOHN BARNES REPORTED TO THE COURT WILLIAM DURDINO'S RECEIPT OF FIFTY POUNDS AS PAYMENT FOR THESE FIFTY ACRES, OR IF JOHN BARNES REPORTED TO THE COURT THAT HE (ADMINISTRATOR BARNES) STILL OWED FIFTY POUNDS TO WILLIAM DURDINO WHEN WILLIAM DIED LATER IN THE SAME YEAR OF 1804.I MUST WRITE OR CALL THE COURT FOR MORE ESTATE RECORDS.WE HAVE NO RECEIPTS FOR MONEY COLLECTED OR SUMS OWED TO OR BY WILLIAM DURDINO.IT IS DIFFICULT TO ACCEPT THAT WILLIAM WOULD HAVE SOLD HIS DAUGHTER'S HOME OUT FROM UNDER HER AND HER HUSBAND!
Tomorrow I will send you a paper written by a cousin called Durdin Proof and Evidence

Go to my other message and follow the link to family tree DNA
the only thing you need to do is order a DNA kit of at least 37 Markers to give a accurate answer
and they will send you a kit that you swab inside of your mouth and then send you the results and you can share them with others or you can keep it private
it is your choice
We still have found noone to do DNA Testing from this family line
