My husband is related to the Hursts in Gatlinburg vicinity, Virginia, and Hurst, Texas. They've been here for hundreds of years from UK. If I run across information for Knoxville, I will let you know. Another place to try is a family center at a Mormon church near you. Go to familysearch.org to find a local one and they have an extensive library that may help. Good luck! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
