Christopher Durbin, the fourth son of Samuel Durbin and Ann Logsdon, came
to Kentucky and it was through him that the Durbin lines came who settled
in Mad ison, Hardin, Hart, Barren, Breckinridge, Meade, and finally
Edmondson Counti es. With a family almost grown, Christopher came through
North Carolina and the Cumberland Gap and settled in an area on the
Kentucky River between Lexin gton and Richmond in 1788-1789. Christopher
was married, presumably to Marga ret Parkinson Brown, but no marriage
record has been found. It is reported t hat he was the father of six sons
and six daughters, but no one can name the daughters. Most people agree
that Christopher Durbin Elder died in Madison C ounty, Kentucky, in 1825.

John "traveling preacher", son of Samuel Durbin and Ann Logsdon, was
married to Ann, daughter of Thomas Logsdon and Mary Logsdon, first
cousins, Maryland circa 1762.
John Durbin, according to James Virden of Versailles, Ohio, was t he first
Durbin in Kentucky, arriving with Daniel Boone in 1775, and was one of
the axmen who blazed the Wilderness Trail.
The Filson Club in Louisville, KY has a book on the Hayes family which
contains a list of the men with Boon e in 1775. William Hayes and William
Bush (Captain Billy Bush) are mentioned , but John Durbin is not. This
list was compiled by a researcher of the Daug hters of the American
Revolution.
According to James Virden, John and Ann ha d a daughter, Mary, in
Pennsylvania in 1775, and according to the census of R ichland County,
Illinois in 1850, another daughter in Kentucky in 1780. This second
daughter was Nancy, or Annie. John Durbin, then, came to Kentucky
between 1775 and 1780, and settled in an area near Harrodsburg or
Boonesboro. He was killed in Harrodsburg in 1797, according to James
Virden.
Ann and s on, Austin (or Augustin) were on the tax list of Madison County
in 1797 and 1 799. Since a part of the family was already living in
Barren County, Ann and Austin moved there in 1800; Ann dying the same
year.
It is said that Thoma s and John Durbin were engaged in mining saltpeter
(potassium nitrate, used i n medicine, gunpowder, and for fertilizer) from
the Mammoth Cave, now in pres ent Edmonson County. Hearing reports that
saltpeter abounded in another cave , known then as the Haunted Cave, they
decided to investigate. They arrived at the cave late in the day and
found that the report was true. The cave pr omised successful digging, so
Thomas told his brother John to return and get the tools and he would
remain at the cave.
When night came, Thomas Durbin bu ilt a small fire in the mouth of the
cave and prepared to rest and sleep as h e was somewhat weary. He
stretched out before the fire but had barely closed his eyes when he
heard a rip-roaring noise from within the cave. He seized the rifle by
his side and peered in the direction whence the noise came. By the dim
light from the fire he could indistinctly see the outline of an objec t
perched upon a ledge of rock. Leveling his fouling piece at the object
h e fired and at the crack of the rifle, the object fell from its perch.
Next morning upon investigating, he found he had killed a mammoth hoot
owl. That was the end of the haunt. It is needless to say the the
Durbin brothers enga ged in mining there unmolested by other diggers.

John was born in Maryland about 1776, the year Andrew Jackson, the future
pre sident, was born. John, known as Stumpy John because he was so short
and had frostbitten feet, was married to Elizabeth (Betty), daughter of
George Oller and Prudence Logsdon, in Madison County, April 19, 1792.
Stumpy John moved to Hardin County, in the area of present Hart County,
as early as 1802. He liv ed on a road between Cub Run and Houchin's
Ferry. In the Court Orders of Har din County is this notation, "ordered
that the road be widened to thirty feet wide from Roundstone Creek to
John Durbin's on Dog Creek." This road had fi rst been made in 1798 "wide
enough for a man and a horse."
About 1812, John and family moved to the area of Cape Girardeau,
Louisiana (now Missouri), but because of earthquakes and unhealthy
conditions moved back to Grayson County about 1814. The area to which
John moved back was in present Edmonson Count y, and probably in the
Sunfish region. It is believed that Elizabeth died ci rca 1826/27, and in
1828 John left Kentucky for Illinois.
According to the H istory of Illinois, John migrated to Illinois in 1828,
taking his sons John Z ., Josephus, and Leonard. He settled on Bear Creek
and died there in 1832. Bear Creek became a Durbin settlement in
Illinois.
The first real settlement of Bear Creek, Illinois started in 1829.
Esquire Joseph P. Durbin, Nathania l Painter, and Old Grandfather Durbin
migrated on one ox wagon and oxen. Old Grandfather Durbin is believed to
be Joseph Durbin, Sr., Joseph P.'s father.

One legend has it that William Logsdon was picked up as a lad on the
coast of Ireland and brought over as an indentured slave. The ship was
headed for Vi rginia but a storm changed its course and it sailed into
Baltimore Harbor ins tead. Records show that a William Logsdon was
transported to America in 1673 (Book 18, page 38, early records of
Maryland). About 25 years later a shipl oad of young girls was gathered
from the Irish Coast and brought over to be w ives of the settlers. All
legends and stories repeat that one Irish lass was named Honora O'Flynn.
In the Hall of Records, Annapolis, Maryland, Vol. 15, w e find: January
16, 1674 "Captain Samuel Smith of Virginia, proved his right to 300 acres
of land, by Hanna, his wife, and Attorney, for transporting: R obert
Dewsberry, William Belcher, Thomas Humphries, William Logsdon, George
Young, Jesiah Blackwell, and William Golden, to this Province to
inhabit." The indentured servant means that they did not have money to
pay their passag e so the Captain of the ship sold their services; in this
case, William Logsd on was sold to a tobacco planter who would release him
when he worked out the right amount. Several documents state that Honora
O'Flynn was kidnapped fro m Ireland (b. County Derry or Kerry) and married
William Logsdon 1702 by a mi ssionary priest from Fort Tobacco, Maryland.
He would have been close to 48 tears of age. The name Honora has been
carried down by the Durbin and Logsdo n families.
The Rent Rolls of Baltimore County, MD: "William Loftin is charge d with
rent for a tract called 'Brotherly Love' on 28 August, 1687." From th e
Hall of Records: Liber DD-5, p. 430, "On 12 May 1707 William Logsdon
pur chased 100 acres that had been assigned earlier to Gregory Davis of
Baltimore County, and called 'Bedford' -- situated on the north side of
the Patapsco R iver and on north side of Middle Branch, thereof . . ."
This was located in what is now Carroll County, Maryland and is about 8
miles southeast of Westmi nster. Carroll County was formed in 1836 from a
part of Baltimore and Freder ick Counties.
William Logsdon must have a been a tobacco planter for on March 31, 1709
he sued Thomas Gwynn for breach of contract. Gwynn had signed a con tract
to build a 40-foot tobacco shed on the Island in Baltimore County
(15 0-acre tract on Gunpowder River).

Samuel Durbin was married to Ann, daughter of William Logsdon and Honor
O'Fly nn, at Saint Thomas Church at Owings Mills, Maryland, July 4, 1734.
This mar riage is also recorded at St. Paul Catholic Church in Baltimore,
Maryland. S amuel Durbin is the patriarch of most, if not all, of the
Durbins of Kentucky . Some researchers list Samuel as a son of William
Durbin son of Thomas Durb in.
Samuel's will, dated September 19, 1752, named none of his children. It
is assumed that he died soon after the September date. Ann's will dated
Jul y 8, 1770, was probated in Frederick County, Maryland, and named all
thirteen of her children. Of these thirteen children, at least four were
pioneer set tlers of Kentucky. John came in between 1775 and 1780;
Thomas, Christopher, and Edward came in circa 1788. John Durbin,
according to James Virden, was t he first Durbin in Kentucky, arriving

Thomas Durbin may be our immigrant ancestor. Thomas Durbin migrated,
perhaps by way of the West Indies from Avon County (now Somerset),
England, to Ann A rundel County, Maryland prior to 1676. In Bristol and
America: A Record of the First Settlers in the Colonies of North
America, 1654-1685, we find the names of more than 10,000 servants to
foreign plantations who sailed from the Port of Bristol to Virginia,
Maryland, and other parts of the Atlantic coast , and the West Indies.
On page 476 of Volume I (1654-63), we find Thomas Du rbin; destination,
Nevis. Although Thomas Durbin, gave his destination as Ne vis, British
West Indies, which is in the Caribbean, this does not mean that Nevis was

Thomas Durbin may be our immigrant ancestor. Thomas Durbin migrated,
perhaps by way of the West Indies from Avon County (now Somerset),
England, to Ann A rundel County, Maryland prior to 1676. In Bristol and
America: A Record of the First Settlers in the Colonies of North
America, 1654-1685, we find the names of more than 10,000 servants to
foreign plantations who sailed from the Port of Bristol to Virginia,
Maryland, and other parts of the Atlantic coast , and the West Indies.
On page 476 of Volume I (1654-63), we find Thomas Du rbin; destination,
Nevis. Although Thomas Durbin, gave his destination as Ne vis, British
West Indies, which is in the Caribbean, this does not mean that Nevis was
his ultimate destination, for at that time immigrants were coming i n
droves to Virginia and Maryland to raise tobacco which was very much in
d emand in England. Lord Baltimore's ships had begun to take a southerly
route to reach North America to avoid the stormy North Atlantic which
earlier ship s like the Mayflower had taken.

Edward I was born at Westminster in 1239, and was named for his fatherHenry III's favourite saint, Edward the Confessor. He was heir to widedomains and many troubles, and had an early taste of both. In 1252 he wasgiven charge of the troublesome but lucrative Gascon territories. Twoyears later he was married to Eleanor of Castile---a political marriage,but one that was to turn into a love-match.

There was little time to enjoy it at first, for Edward was now pitchedinto the discords of the English baronial revolt. His father was neithera good leader of men, nor a good soldier, so the burden was thrust uponhis young son. The barons' leader, Simon de Montfort, was Edward's uncle,and there is no doubt that the prince was both attracted to his uncle'sideas of government, and also deeply influenced by his military tactics.But after the defeat at Lewes, and a humiliating imprisonment, hisadmiration turned to hostility, which was only sated with the rout ofEvesham in 1265.

In the next few years he acted as a moderating influence on his father'svindictive wrath, and saw to it that the settlement with the baronialopposition should not in itself provoke a further uprising.

In 1270 he was at last able to go off on crusade, when he brought reliefto Acre. His military reputation now soared, and in 1272 he suffered anattack from an assassin, in which he was grazed by a poisoned dagger inthe scuffle. He recovered, and was able to negotiate a ten-year trucebefore returning home, covered with honour.

On landing in Sicily he heard of his father's death, but he did not hurryto get back to England, spending a whole year settling his affairs inGascony first. It was 1274 before England saw him. Once properly seatedon the throne, however, he gave every evidence of his vigour anddetermination to rule. Within two months of the coronation, commissionerswere scouring the land completing a survey as large and efficient as anythat had been understaken since Domesday. The commissioners enquired intoencroachments upon royal rights, and into injustices committed by theking's servants; their detailed reports are know to historians as theHundred Rolls, based as they were on the administrative unit of thehundred.

The evidence of the Hundred Rolls was to be the basis of Edward'slegislative reforms. A long series of statutes, enacted at the enlargedparliaments introduced by Simon de Montfort, aimed at the improvement ofjustice at the local as well as the national level, and also tried torationalise the bewildering array of jurisdictions, known as liberties,the feudal government had seen grow up. Edward had a genuine concern tosee justice done, which gained for him the deep admiration of hissubjects. He was also very well informed about the localities, for he wasconstantly on the move, covering distances of about 2,000 miles a year,with a court of perhaps a thousand horses lumbering behind him on themuddy and dangerous medieval roads.

Much larger groups travelled with him when he went to war, and Wales wasthe first to see his unwelcome visitation. Llewellyn, Prince of Wales,had rather foolishly refused to do homage for his lands at Edward'scoronation, and in 1277 the King attacked and reduced his dominions byhalf. Five years later the Prince's brother David rose in rebellion, andLlewellyn was forced to join him, only to be killed in a petty foray.With no great leader left to them, the Welsh submitted to annexation, andsaw gigantic castles rise in key-points such as Conway, Caernarvon andHarlech, castles that would prevent future revolt. Edward was an arrantcolonist, and typically brought back from Wales the great cross of Neathto carry in procession to Westminster for the service of thanksgiving.The Abbey was to see many more proud trophies plundered for itsdecoration and distinction.

Edward was eager to be off to Palestine once more, but the Europeansituation prevented a new crusade: France and Aragon struggled over thebody of Sicily, and the Pope was hopelessly committed as a partisan.Edward now spent long months attempting to bring peace to Europe so thatthe Christian nations could unite in crusade.

His design for Europe was interrupted by troubles at home. In hisprolonged absence corruption throve, and in 1289 the King was forced toconduct an enquiry which resulted, among other things, in the banishmentof his chief justice. The same year he had to go north to convene thecourt that was to judge between the various 'competitors' for the throneof Scotland. The legalism fascinated him, but in the middle of thisinteresting judicial wrangle, his wife died. He was heartbroken, and ashe accompanied the body from Lincolnshire to London, he ordered elaboratecrosses to be set up wherever the cortège rested. The last was CharingCross. A most beautiful monument was set up in Westminster Abbey, andthose who view it can see something of Edward's loss.

Back in Scotland he finally adjudged John Balliol's claim for the crownto be the best, but forced him to accept vassal status as a quid pro quo.Years of trouble lay ahead: the French made war, the Welsh rebelled, andthe Pope made life extrememly difficult for the hard-pressed Englishking. He continued to demand Edward's presence on crusade---which hewould have dearly loved, but found impossible; his only contribution wasthe expulsion of Jews in 1290. Furthermore the Pope had suddenly issued aBull declaring that the state had no right to tax the clergy, and Edwardwas desperately short of money for war on three fronts.

These diffficulties explain but do not excuse the viciousness of hisactions in the next few years. Scotland had refused to accept him asoverlord, and he annexed the land, deposed Balliol, and removed the Stoneof Scone to Westminster Abbey in 1296. When Wallace rose as a leader inScotland, Edward increased the fury of his attack; the rebels received nomercy.

Gradually the King seemed to be achieving his aims. France was satisfiedby his marriage to the sister of the French king, and by 1304 Scotlandseemed well under his heel, controlled by a policy of ruthless savagery.Edward could at last turn his attention back to English affairs, wheredisorder was rampant. New justices were sent round on the 'Trailbaston'commission to seek out the unsavoury Robin Hoods of the land, andgradually order returned.

Inagine then the fury of the aged king when, in 1306, Robert Bruce, whohad been his man for the past four years, suddenly went north and wascrowned King of Scots. Old, tired, and sick, Edward moved up country todeal with this fresh menace to peace, but was taken very ill on the way.He had to direct the campaign from his bed, and vitriolic lettersshowered on his commanders accusing them of inaction and failure.

In a last tremendous effort the King got up and gave his litter toCarlisle Cathedral---a typical gesture, again---and set off on horseback.The progress was desperately slow---some two miles a day---but even thatwas too fast for the sick king, who quickly succumbed and died in July1307.

Son and father of weak and inefffectual kings, Edward I had many finequalities which seem to make nonsence of heredity. He was tall andstrong, a fine horseman and a doughty warrior. A great leader of men, hewas also able to lead to success. He was interested in government and lawin a very genuine way. As a personality he was pious, but easily provokedto rage and often vindictive. He was fond of games---so passionately didhe love his hawks that when they were ill he sent money to shrines topray for their recovery. He was generous to the poor, and often a gaycompanion: he played chess, and loved music and acrobats; once he bet hislaundress Matilda that she couldn't ride his charger, and she won! EveryEaster Monday he paid ransom to his maids if they found him in bed. Heloved his two wives, and fussed over their health and that of hischildren with a pathetic concern---sometimes threatening the doctor withwhat would happen to him if his patient did not recover. His peoplefeared, respected and remembered him.
