MICHAEL HURST:
Looking for Hurst and Wheeler descendants of Michael Hurst, if any. In 1674 Captain Robert Beverly and Richard Barber claimed a head right for transporting Michael Hurst to Old Rappahannock Co., Virginia. Michael Hurst is generally found in the court records of Westmoreland County, Virginia in the 1680s and 1690s. He was in Richmond County, Virginia (formerly Old Rappahannock Co.) in 1702, and may have been in Stafford Co. between 1702 and 1704. In 1694, a complaint was filed in the Northumberland Co., Virginia court against Frances Wheeler, a servant of Peter Presly, for having an illegitimate child by Michael Hurst. The complaint does not state whether their child was a male or female. To date I have not been able to locate the Wheeler child or any other possible children of Michael Hurst.

JOHN "MILL CREEK" HURST: Queries on John "Millcreek" Hurst. Can anyone supply me with the citation to the orginial document of the marriage of John Hurst to Nancy Nunn? The date given in genealogies is 29 April 1759 in various locations 1) Frederick Co., Virginia and 2) "in Mill Creek, Shenandoah Co., Virginia." The court of Frederick Co., Virginia did not begin recording marriages until 1772 and the marriage of John Hurst and Nancy Nunn is not recorded in the Frederick County Circuit Court Marriage Register. Shenandoah Co., Virginia was formed in 1778 from Dunmore Co. and this marriage, of course, is not recorded in Shenandoah Co. The first document that I have on John "Millcreek" Hurst in western Virginia is 1779. This is a summons to appear in the Shenandoah Co., Virginia court. In 1779 John was residing on Pass Run. Pass Run is a branch of the Great Hawksbill near present day Luray, Virginia, now Page Co. Does anyone have earlier documents that place John Hurst in western Virginia prior to 1779, or residing on Mill Creek? Mill Creek runs through Mt. Jackson in Shenandoah Co.

THOMAS HURST:(b c 1800 - 1820)

   2. Elijah Thompson Hurst b. Nov. 3, 1845 in New Market, Buchanan County,Missouri.    Orphaned. Found living with Harmon Hurst in the 1860 census (not there in 1850). Was sent to    Harmon's brother Elisha Hurst in Clark County, Illinois at beginning of the Civil War. Elijah    enlisted in the Union army there in Clark County and served honorably in Kentucky. Discharged    and returned to Harmon's in Missouri. Married Mary Larkin Bailey 14 May 18767. Family    moved across the river to Atchison, Kansas in 1878; family continued to grow.Elijah died    November 22, 1926, and Mary June 01, 1930.

     3. Elizabeth Hurst 1868
     3. Sharlottie Hurst 1869
     3. Samuel Edward Hurst 1871
     3. Hester Hurst 1873
     3. Mary "Molly" L. Hurst 1876

     3. Jesse Claybourne Hurst 1881
     3. Johnnie Hurst 1882
     3. Charles Hurst 1884
     3. Martin Hurst 1889

I know Elijah was not Harmon Hurst's (Harmon was of the "Mill Creek" John Hurst branch) son but am sure he was related to this same Hurst family. Elijah's middle name of "Thompson" and my grandfather's middle name of "Claybourne" were suppose to be "family" names and are found elsewhere in this Hurst clan. Elijah's Civil War pension records confirm all of this information and contain a notarized statement saying his "true and correct name is and always has been Elijah Thompson Hurst." Have not been able to find out anything about Elijah's father, how he was orphaned and how he was connected to this Hurst family. Appreciate any help. ideas, leads, etc.
