Hi Eric, I am really glad to hear from you. Since I posted the May message, I have found out a lot. James Hurt m Catherine Shaw. Their son John A. Hurt m Martha Jane Smith. Children: James Allen Hurt, John Hurt, Kitty Hurt. Kitty m. John Gosser. Their daughter Mattie J. (Martha) m. Turner J. Poland. John A. Hurt was struck by lightening before 1880 leaving a very young widow (She was 14 when they married) alone with 3 children. John carved hair combs out of deer horn and sold them in a nearby town. He was carrying his tools when he was struck and killed. I know that Charlotte Shaw was Issac Hurt's 2nd or 3rd wife. I was also told that Catherine and Charlotte's father's name was Ank Shaw. I have much info about Hurt's. I would be glad to share. Spraytown, In is about 50 miles north of Louisville. Near Seymour and Columbus ( look at I 65). I have the names of James and Catherine's children. Thanks to one of our cousins who is 86 years old and lives in Burke! sville. Joyce Borowski.
