HURT - May 3
I am attempting to complete my wifes family pedigree

HURT family line from William A. HURT, born Surry County, NC
(?) 19 Jan 1803 thru the present date but am unable to
locate the parents of said William A. HURT. The only place
that I have seen the name William A. HURT is in the Family
History Library, Salt Lake City, Utah. All other info has
been from census records, marriage bonds, cemetery and
homestead records, family discussions, etc. I speculate that
he is the grandson of John HURT, Jr. born ca 1740-1745 who
died in Surry County, NC in 1796.
(Note: John was originally listed
here, incorrectly, as John A. Hurt.) William A. HURT
was married in Warren Co, Kentucky and died in Auburn, Logan
County, Ky. 3 Jul 1884. My line of HURTs migrated from
Kentucky to Bottineau, North Dakota, where they homesteaded
then on to Logan, Saskatchewan, Canada and Alberta, Canada
where they also homesteaded. Any help will be appreciated!

BARNETT b. 1760 were recorded in the Douglas

BARNETT was in 1777 Surry Co, NC when they and James
BLACKWELL witnessed the will of JAMES GLEN. Joseph BARNETT

Tyree GLEN left children Susannah (married John BLACKWELL),

Agnes. We would like to prove or disprove that Jene Glen's
