Biography

This profile is part of the Durbin Name Study.

Christopher Durbin (son of William Durbin) was baptized on 2 March 1622/23 in Axbridge, Somerset.[1][2]

At some point, Christopher married a Margaret and they had two children:

  1. Frances, christened on 30 September 1649 in St Margaret, Westminster, London[3] and buried on 21 December 1649 in St Margaret's, Westminster, London [4]
  2. Thomas, christened on 31 August 1651 in St. Margaret's, Westminster, London[5]

Margaret Durbin was buried in St Margaret's, Westminster, London on 13 September 1651[6]

Christopher Durbin then married Elizabeth Malpus on 9 August 1652 in the parish of St Swithin London Stone in the City of London [7] Christopher and Elizabeth also had two children:

  1. Christopher, christened 10 July 1653, St. Margaret, Westminster[8]
  2. Henry Durban, christened 20 Aug. 1654, St. Mary, Colechurch, London"[9]

Burial

Christopher Durban of Mary Colechurch Parish was buried in the North Vault of St Mildred, Poultry Church, London on 21 April 1658[10]

From Durbin and Logsdon Genealogy with Related Families [11]

According to Kerry William Bate in his book, The Ebenezer H(111,ks Story,18 he states on page 136:
"Christopher Durbin is perhaps the first known ancestor of our Durbin family. Evidence indicates the name originated in Somerset, England. No trace of his origin is evident in the London parish registers we have consulted. We have also searched LDS microfiche (as of 1980) for each county in England for Durbins, and have found no further clues."
"We find this Christopher Durbin in 1649 at St. Margaret's, Westminster, London, where his first child was christened. After the birth of his son Thomas, his wife Margaret died, and she was buried 13 September 1651. Christopher married (2) Elizabeth , who is identified in the christening of his son Henry. The mother of son Christopher is not identified, but is undoubtedly also this Elizabeth.
Children: surname DURBIN by Margaret:
  • 1. Frances, christened 30 Sept. 1649, St. Margaret's; buried 21 Dec. 1649, St. Margaret's.
  • 2. Thomas, christened 31 August 1651, St. Margaret's
Children: surname DURBIN by Elizabeth:
  • 3. Christopher, christened 10 July 1653, St. Margaret's,
  • 4. Henry "Durban", christened 20 Aug. 1654, St. Mary, Colechurch, London"

Research Notes

I have unlinked children Edward, Isabella and William as there is no evidence that they are the children of Christopher and either Margaret or Elizabeth

Warning received upon saving: "Check the data. A mother's death date (Fitting-24 died 1621) should not be before one of her children's birth dates (Durbin-87 born 2 Mar 1622)." Death date for his mother (whose maiden name needs a source) was changed to 1622 and a footnote that it may be an old/new date style issue added. The new year would have begun in 1622, not January. Official records tended to show just old style date, while dates before the official new year in January, February and March are often seen with both - e.g., 1621/2.

Information in the two profiles differed slightly, with the profile for Christopher (Durbin-115) that was merged away into the profile for Christopher Thomas (Durbin-87) having the following (unreliably sourced) information:

  • born 1621 in London, England
  • son of William Durbin [Durbin-604]
  • died 13 Sep 1651 in Baltimore, Maryland
The only profile attached to Durbin-115 was the one for his father, Durbin-604. See this Changes page for changes to Durbin-115 prior to the merge. See also the Changes page for his father (Durbin-604).

A second merged profile for Christopher Thomas Durbin (Durbin-1494) also had slightly different information, similar to that of Durbin-115:

  • born 1621 in Westminster, Middlesex, England
  • son of William Durbin [Durbin-1495] and Sarah (Fitting) Durbin
    • William Durbin b. 18 Nov 1590 d. 1627
  • brother of Christopher Thomas Durbin [half] - [Durbin-87]
  • married Mary Margaret (Brown) Durbin in 1648 [marriage location?]
  • died 13 Sep 1651 in Baltimore, Maryland

Adopted the profile to work on duplicates of the ancestors of my 5x-gr-grandmother Asenath (Howell) Billingslea (1748-bef.1798).

Durbin-115 and Durbin-87 appear to represent the same person because: these were marked as rejected but they appear to be duplicates - similar dates/places

Durbin-1494 and Durbin-87 appear to represent the same person because: working through a bunch of duplicates... these are now brothers and should be merged.

Data doctor suggestion 310: Warning: Check the data.

A mother's death date (UNKNOWN-45148 died 1621) should not be before one of her children's birth dates (Durbin-87 born 2 Mar 1622) .

posted by Jonathan Crawford
changed mother's death date to 1622 & added a footnote explanation (possibly a old/new date style error - new year started in March in 1621/2)

Durbin-115 and Durbin-87 do not represent the same person because: Different parents.
sources differentiating the parents were lacking. The Durbin-115 & Durbin-87 merge has been completed.
