I have very little on my ancestor who would be my 5th Grandfather. Jeanne T. Hurt, Bristol TN has been a valuable resource. I will include one other Hurt family that does not connect.

Meridith Hurt born 1811 Wythe Co., Va married ca. 1832 to Lucinda Cowen b. 1811 in Va.

Children:
James Hurt b. 1833 Wythe Co. Va m. Catherine Burke b 1838 Va
Frances Hurt b. 1838 Wythe Co. Va m. Upton
Mariah Hurt b. 1842 Wythe Co. Va m William Newby
Robert Hurt b. 1843 Lee Co., Va
Eliza Hurt b. 1845 Lee Co., Va
Elisabeth Hurt b. 1846 Lee Co. Va
Benjamin Hurt b. 1847 Lee Co. Va
Harriet Lenora Hurt b. Nov. 27 1851 Jonesville, Lee Co. Va d. Jan 12, 1929 in Tazewell, Claiborne Co., TN m. Thomas Wesley Stone, Aug. 4. 1877 in Tazewell, Claiborne Co., TN.

Here is a Hurt family that was also close in the area that I did not see on your Surname Register.

This is from a reprint of the Remembrances of P. G. Fulkerson in the TAZEWELL OBSERVER (Claiborne County, TN) on March 5, 1980.

An update to this record comes from the letter from Jeanne T. Hurt, 801 W. Valley Dr., Bristol, Va. 24201.

Looking in the Claiborne Co. 1900 census record I find John H. Hurt born Feb 1851 born in Tennessee father born in North Carolina as is his mother.

Hurt, John H. 49
Niece 50 (my version of spelling)
John W. 23
Stephen B. 22
James T. 19
Alan W. 15
David M. 14
The family had lived in Kentucky because all the children were born there.
