|
ORIGINAL NOTES BY JANE ANN’S GREAT-GREAT-NIECE, CAYMAN ISLANDS |
||||
|
JAMES
THOMAS AND JANE ANN DIDN’T HAVE ANY (SURVIVING) CHILDREN AND LEFT THE BULK OF
THEIR ESTATE TO HIS BROTHERS AND SISTERS AND THEIR CHILDREN, THE MAJOR PART
GOING TO HIS DURHAM NEPHEWS AND NIECES, POSSIBLY BECAUSE THEIR FATHER,
CHARLES JACOB DURHAM, DIDN’T LEAVE THEM MUCH IT
IS INTERESTING THAT ALMOST ALL THE DURHAM CHILDREN ARE MENTIONED, BUT WILLIAM
JACOB SMITH DURHAM’s SONS ARE NOT MENTIONED –
EITHER BECAUSE THEIR FATHER DIED IN SOUTH AFRICA IN DISGRACE? IN 1894, AND/OR
BECAUSE THEY HAD BEEN BROUGHT UP BY THEIR MOTHER’S RELATIVES AND HAD LOST
CONTACT WITH THE DURHAM AND SMITH FAMILIES |
