I would certainly appreciate your help, as these are the Hurston's for whom I am searching. There are lots of indications that these families were somehow connected. Specifically, similarities in naming , location(s), etc. I have lots of questions: 1. Where is the Lee County Archives located? Are their records catalogued online? 2. In what documents was this information found? 3.Where was John William Hurston's plantation located? 4. What was the name of the plantation? 5.Where in Macon County did John William Hurston live? Was it Franklin? 6.Like John William, Alfred came from Georgia also. Have you located where in Georgia? I know this sounds like an inquisition, but I still have so many unanswered questions. Like was Amie's maiden name Vaughn or Tole-Youngblood. I know my Moss relatives were connected to a plantation on Wire Road (I think it was the HUDSON plantation). Was John William's Plantation near there? I would certainly love to work with you on locating our lost families. Although I know that some of my Hurston's are mulatto, I have no information on the white families from which they come. It would be great working with you to uncover this part of the Hurston heritage. I look forward to hearing from you and hope thaere is some way I will be able to assist in your efforts.
