Notes

John Hurst died, we think, in 1825, and his will was finally probated in 1828. I think she died very shortly thereafter. In his will, John mentionedall the children except for two, and he re-iterated that he'd given land to the boys. However, he had *not* recorded deed for those bequests, and thus, when he died, no one had clear title to the lands except for his estate.

As a result, each of the heirs who had received land, had to sue the estate in order to get clear title. The first of these chancery suits was filed in April 1830, leading me to conclude that Mary most likely died in 1829.

Some of this might help. I got this many years ago from the Harrison county library in Corydon Indiana.

A little history of the early Murats written by Benjamin Franklin Hurst.

In the reconstruction of the life of John Hurst, we have little of his early life beyond tradition, and that small, beyond what the Shenandoah,VA. records furnish is the sale of his heritage in his red haired fathers estate. He held colse to the soil and kept in view the necessity of soil production and when his family had grown to eleven and several grandchildren were now to his credit, together with the New West opening to the settlement of emigrants from the East, he began his westward trek but as the Indians yet held their hunting ground in Kentucky, Tenn., Ohio, and Indiana he choose to move first to Green county Tennessee about 1790 and remained there for 10 years.

It was here that the county records show his daughter Leah married Jessie Lindsey (John Hurst's step-son). During the 10 years stay in Tennessee another daughter Elisabeth married Levi Dunn, a son Abraham Hurst married Mary Dunn. Mary Hurst married Charles Dyer. John Hurst (son of John) married Martha (Patty) ?. Elijah Hurst married Mary Lindsey (step-daughter of John Hurst) in Greene county Tennessee in 1798. William Hurst married Ann Morgan. Nancy Hurst married William Morgan. Hanna Hurst married perhaps never as there is no record. Henry Hurst married Winnie LaHue in Indiana. Beverly Hurst married Eliabeth Oatman of Floyd Co. IN.

We regret to leave these rugged mountian and hill farms of Greene co. Tenn. where John Hurst fought and struggled for existence without more of his history in detail. However, he was a captian and gathered his large family of sons and daughters, many grandchildren and moved northeastward thru Ky. stopping on Beargrass Creek in what is now Bullit Co. KY. John Hurst now 71 marshalled his foroes and crossed the Ohio river the same year 1803 as his arrival in Kentucky. John settled his army 20 miles west of New Albany IN. His was a community in motion carrying cattle, sheep, pigs, various seeds for new crops in the wilderness. But with children, boys and girls in youth, married sons and daughters, inured to the rough field work of pioneers, John Hurst had now found his paradise in a new land far from the old grand deminion of his nativity. He now had all of his family with him, with the exception of one son John who broke ranks and strayed off the Crab Orchard, Lincoln co. Ky. where he spent 2 years then to Washington co. Ky. where his daughter Sarah was born. In 1806 John Hurst drifted across the Ohio River and renewed his place in the hither to unbroken ranks. It was his second lucky twist of fate that is son William 14 was not drowned in crossing the Ohio River, or else you would not be reading this story. signed B.F. Hurst

"Census records of 1810 and 1830 show many Hursts in Wythe Co. In 1840 they are shown to be in the then newly formed Co of Pulaski. Apparently John lived a while in Montgomery after he sold his inheritance and then lived over the line in Wythe. The records of Wythe Co show - - - John and Mary Hurst of Wythe Co (4/20/1794, page 255 in book 1) sold Richard Ellis 113 acres on the south side of New river - opposite Persimmon bottom in Wythe Co for 80 pounds.

Of course the other Hursts in the later censuses in Wythe and Pulaski were Absalom and his descendants, plus those of "William and Rachel." Capt. John's descendants and his brother William had probably all moved on. Capt. John didn't necessarily move from Montgomery County to Wythe County. Wythe was formed in 1790 out of Montgomery, while Pulaski was formed in 1839 out of Wythe and Montgomery. One must be careful here; one of Absalom's sons was also named John and his wife was Mary McCarty."
