Durrett
The name of Durrett was connected with the territory of Albemarle, while it was yet a part of Hanover.  In 1737 Bartholomew Durrett patented nearly three hundred acres on Priddy's Creek, and the next year Richard patented three hundred in the same section.  A genealogical chart of the Terrells in the possession of Gen. W. H. H. Terrell, of Indianapolis, states that Abigail, daughter of Henry Terrell and Ann Chiles, of Caroline, was married to Colonel Durrett, of Albemarle.  If this refers to Colonel Richard, she must have been a first wife.  He died in 1784.
Two brothers of the name Durrett became residents of the Batesville district the latter part of the last century.  They came from Caroline, and were no doubt of the same stock with those mentioned above, though it seems impossible now to trace the relationship.  Marshall Durrett in 1783 purchased from Robert Terrell nearly four hundred acres on the head waters of Mechum's River, where he was living at the time; and as the land he bought was part of that entered by Henry Terrell, of Caroline, the Abigail Terrell already alluded to may have been his first wife.  In 1802 he purchased from Robert Boiling in the North Garden, whither he removed and resided until his death in 1834.  He was appointed a magistrate in 1796, and served as Sheriff in 1819, succeeding Charles Wingfield Jr., who at the time of his death had occupied the office but a month.  Marshall's wife was Dorothy, daughter of John Digges, of Nelson, and his children were Sarah, the wife of Robert Field, Richard, Rice,. Marcus, Silas Benjamin, Paul, Ann, the wife of William Morris, and afterwards John D. Rodes, Elizabeth, the wife of John Dunkum, and John.
James Durrett, the brother of Marshall, in 1799 purchased land of John Eperson, where he resided until his death in 1822.	1  _TITLE Notes
