The Hurst line is from the Shenandoah Valley and is documented back to William "Brindle Bill" Hurst, who in modern times is thought to have been the brother of John "Of Fairfax" Hurst, both of them being sons of "John of Stafford". "John of Fairfax" married twice, to Elizabeth Summers, second to Sybil Moxley. His son James who married Mary Gunnell is the patriarch of the Jefferson Co. VW Hursts, who spread out from there to Kentucky, Indiana, and beyond. hth, -doug q
