Military service: 

 

Pvt. in Company D, 2nd VA Cavalry CSA under Capt. Thomas B. Holland of Franklin County.   The 2nd Cavalry regiment consisted of eleven companies (A-K) commanded by Col. Thomas Munford and later by Col. Cary Breckinridge when Col. Munford was promoted to Brigadier General in 1865.  The  2nd Virginia Cavalry was part of a brigade made up of the 1st through 7th Cavalry and, at various times, was under the command of Gen. Stonewall Jackson, Gen. Fitzhugh Lee,  and Gen. Jeb Stuart.  It has been stated that William H. H. Hurt participated in the battle of Gettysburg and survived and that his horse killed there was the fourth one he had obtained from home during the war.  His service record on the link to "Military Service" bears out that fact.
