I've seen all the recent postings on the HURST family in Burke county and thought I'd add mine. My grandmother was LENA GETRUDE MESSEX [PEEL] Lena Messex> Sally Norris> Sabra Hurst> James Andrew Hurst (b in Screven Co., GA; died in Burke Co.) > Needman Needham Hurst (b abt 1798 in NC/died 1865 in Screven Co., GA)> John Hurst(B1765 in Duplin Co, NC] Like Judy, it was good to see some of my HURST names scrolling by. Til later, keep digging! Diane -- Diane Peel Walls diane328@palmetto.net Aiken Co., SC
