Laurie,
My cousin and I found your line of info the most fascinating thing we have found in a long time. If you could (I know this may be asking too much) send me starting with Thomas and Letty's children all the info you have. It would help many. There are so many researching this line.
I have some more info on Letty. I have been in contact with many Native researchers. They all knew of Letty already. People have been trying to prove her origin for some time. Native researchers do believe Letty to be full blood Cherokee because of her location and time of birth and because Durham is a very well known Indian name.
There are many Durham's still living on Reservations today. They got the name from a Missionary who helped the Cherokee people.
There was also a recent book published (I forget the title). It was about the Revolutionary War. It had a lot about Thomas Howard and a Cherokee Chief named Shyuica he fought with for the British. It leads you to believe that Thomas was well-liked by the Cherokee people. This info I got from NAAH kitty. She published a newsletter about Native Americans. I know Thomas was killed by Indians but it was probably the Shawnee Indians. Take care, Amber

Marriage Note

Sal and Dorothy met at the Greystone Ballroom on Thanksgiving Day during a leave from the service. His brother Bill and he went there in the evening. Sal spotted Dorothy, asked her to dance, she refused. He asked her later, she refused again. He finally asked her why she was there. She said: not to dance with him! Eventually the evening came to an end. Sal offered to drive Dorothy and her friend home - they lived in a boarding house for women - no men allowed inside. The girls had an 11:00 curfew - although the rules were bent once in a while. In spite of her refusal to dance that Thanksgiving evening, Sal persevered and they dated, and eventually they were married.
