O'Fly nn, at Saint Thomas Church at Owings Mills, Maryland, July 4, 1734.
This mar riage is also recorded at St. Paul Catholic Church in Baltimore,
Maryland.  S amuel Durbin is the patriarch of most, if not all, of the
Durbins of Kentucky .  Some researchers list Samuel as a son of William
Durbin son of Thomas Durb in.
Samuel's will, dated September 19, 1752, named none of his children.  It
is assumed that he died soon after the September date.  Ann's will dated
Jul y 8, 1770, was probated in Frederick County, Maryland, and named all
thirteen of her children.  Of these thirteen children, at least four were
pioneer set tlers of Kentucky.  John came in between 1775 and 1780;
Thomas, Christopher, and Edward came in circa 1788.  John Durbin,
according to James Virden, was t he first Durbin in Kentucky, arriving
with Daniel Boone in 1775, and was one of the axmen who blazed the
Wilderness Trail.  [Durbin-Logsdon Genealogy by B etty Jewell Durbin
