DAVID HURST: b.c.1786. I am looking for more information on David Hurst, born either in New Jersey or Germany. There is some conflict in the sources about which is correct. He married Mary French November 26, 1810 in Philadelphia, PA. She was born June 22, 1871 in New Jersey to Samuel and Elizabeth French. I would like to confirm David's birthplace and search for his parents.

WILLIAM BRITTEN HURST: Looking for ancestors of William Britten Hurst. Born 1840 in Sevier or Bedford Co. TN. A William and Mary Hurst are listed in the 1850 TN census with a son by the name of William that would be just about the right age. There is another William Hurst born in 1840 in TN and I believe these families have gotten mixed up unless my William's father was not William. William Britten Hurst served in the Civil War and married Nancy Crow in 1868 in Conway, AR. He settled in Pope County Arkansas around 1885.

JEREMIAH HURST: Looking for information on the "Jeremiah Hurst" (and his ancestors) shown in "American Hurst Databases" on this web site. I know he purchased 50 acres in Claiborne Co. TN in 1820 from Reuben Harper & sold same to Anderson Keen (or Keen Anderson) in 1823. He was "heading west" & settled in Morgan Co. TN, where he had land grants & lived till his death in 1854. I'd really appreciate any documented info on Jeremiah, his children, his wife, his parents, or anyone who had dealings with him before 1823.

WILLAM S HURST (1755-1835): I am trying to prove that William S. Hurst (1755-1835) is the father of Benedict Hurst (1808-1886), but have hit a dead end. Benedict was born in either Braecken County or Fayette County, Kentucky. He died in Edgar County, Illinois and was buried in the Woodland Cemetery in Chrisman, Illinois. Benedict was married to Elizabeth Busby. William S. Hurst was born in Berkley, Virginia (or possibly West Virgina). William moved to Westmoreland County in Pennsylvania, Fayette County in Kentucky, Washington County in Indiana, and finally Edgar County in Illinois where he died. William S. was married to Lucinda Poe. I am hoping someone has some information that can help me.
