Does anyone know the connection between the Durhams and Powells that are buried in Durham Ridge Cemetery? I am a descendent of the Durham Family.

From my research, the Durhams and Powells were neighbors in the general vicinity of Durham Ridge Cemetery with some intermarriage between descendants.

In my wife's line, Martha Frances Durham married Henry Rogers. Henry was a descendant of the Powell line through his grandmother, Abby Jane Powell (married to John Rogers). Henry Rogers was the child of Cleveland Rogers (son of John Rogers and Abby Jane Powell) and Mary Lucy Cox.

I have quite a bit on the Martha Durham and Abby Jane Powell lines if you're interested and would love to swap info with you. Drop me a note via email and we'll compare notes....

Sorry I don't know about the Powell's but, my Durham's are from Casey Co., Durham Ridge. How far back have You been able to go? I was told once that all Durham in that area of Ky. are related. Mine go back to a Thomas Durham of Mercer Co.,Ky. A son David Milton, or Melton David was in Casey Co. on 1810 Census. Any info appreciated.
