His name was Ricky Durham. His dad was Bud, that is what they told me. It was said, someone in Ca. came to stole him out of the care of my mother, Loraine Rene Durham Cox. He came from a family of 6. They also, kept news articles, and photos, out of magazines, he did photo shots as the Marlboro Man. I have done Research regarding various ones, but still not sure of the story. I would like the story behind his life. Sincerely.

The people on this board who want to try to help you need information on who/what/where/when...dates of birth, place of birth, states, names, etc. How could an adult male who did shots as the Marlboro Man be stolen by someone in CA? Your query is not easily understood. Which family kept articles/photos....adoptive or birth? When was Loraine Rene Durham Cox married to the husband you don't name?

Thank you for attempting to make sense of it. Imagine how I feel. The uncle who I have never met, but cousin David, Dane brings it up alot. George Durham was married to a Ruth Barnes, they were living in California, his sister (aunt) Loma, married Bert Barnett. Well his brother James Bud, Inez married and was told they fought alot, and had too many kids, so Bud, brought this son, called Ricky (I dnt now his age then) I was not even born at this time. Bud brought him to chattanooga, which supposedly she had him for sometime, then come into chattanooga, took this child, did not tell her his sister, and flew back to California. Dane durham, tells, it know that Ricky died of Aids, he was gay and speaks of it with pride. Never mentions the Hell a little person went through. Well I found no one named Ricky, that was a poster bill board but he mentioned he went by Hughes? There has been so many lies I have been told regarding my life and apparently his too. He did say finally he was not a Durham, Bud did not marry her. But who is she, I think he might of been born late 40's, I have ran across a hughes, but it seemed Mr. Burnette, discovered him on some ranch but it did not seem it was located in Ca. If you could help solve this it would help. This I hope to get answers re his life, I hope it will mean my mystery will unfold. How does a man, just go in take a small boy and drop off then pick and disappear? I think know there was and had been a lot of selling children back then Black market babies, and there was a ring that went throughout the States. Suddenly No one will talk lately, even this 84 yr old Barbara, who is left as one of Georges, daughters, which they lived out there for a long while.. Everybody needs to know how that got here. Or better yet be told how premie I was and stayed in Hosp for months.(sounds like more made up stuff) yet I can find nothing to support that. Being that premature there has to be a record some where.

Hi I responded and made reference too, but it posted else where. The name is Durham. It was Bud or (James Durham) he was married to Inez, they lived with out in Ca. His sister, Loma, Bert Barnett resided in Long beach, along with her mother, Fannie Durham who resided in Riverside, when she died but was flown back here to bury. Since my post a cousin, David/ Dane Durham now living here,told Bud, he was not married to this woman, Ricky mom.I noted a Hughes Well I think he was born in the 40's, maybe. I just want to get to the bottom of this. He also reinforces the fact he was gay and died of Aids..........not the fact how crazy and cruel it is to put alittle soul through so much. I found a Hughes that seems to have passed due to the disease, yet Mr. Burnett did not seem to discover him in Ca. But these people talk as if they really were close, and speak of him as a Durham. No truth to it. Can you imagine how I feel just at my level with my own life trying to figure out how and where I came from. By the the way it was a known fact children babies were bought and sold, alot, Black market babies, all around the States, and no trace for many to be found. I Thank you for any help, all family here has made their ancestry tree private. I have no family, other than a daughter and grand child and some how this extension of Durham family in Ga. has took her in by way of there son, and took over my only grand daughter. Interesting....Huh? I need answers. I appreciate your efforts. Late to the game.
