Balance?
The article shows that much research was done on Durst's land transactions in Texas, but the article seems unbalanced overall as so much content is given to this topic. Also, is a summary offered by some secondary sources, rather than referring directly to land records? This is not supposed to be a product of Original Research. If he was so wealthy and influential, his children likely benefited but are not even named. Did any of them have a role in Texas in the next generation? Did he establish another plantation in Leon County?Parkwells (talk) 19:47, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
Use Reliable Sources
According to Wiki MOS, Find-a-Grave is not a Reliable Source (RS), so should be used only as an External Link. Given Durst's prominence in Texas history, there must be other sources for the dates of his and his wife's deaths, and where they are buried.
