This is in reponse to Rick's message. I do not have a William Hurt who fits your time of being b. in 1810. I have an earlier William Hurt who was married to Elizabeth (Betty) Hudson--they were b. in about 1767 or so, at least she was. That William Hurt did have brothers: Philemon m. to Mary Hudson, James m. to Ermine Vaughan, Moza m. to Sally Overton and Wagstaff who married Frances Elam. William and Betty Hudson had: Philip Campion m. to Polly Allen, John and William and also Nancy Prudence and Polly. Any or all of them may have come to either Humphreys or Dickson Counties. The William who was the son of William Hurt and Betty Hudson married Elizabeth Bowers on 9 Feb 1829 in Davidson County with William White performing the ceremony. Wagstaff Hurt signed the marriage bond and the witnesses was William P. Hill. They removed to Dyer County and had at least one son, James Maxey Hurt who was born in Davidson County prior to the family's removal to Dyer County. He married Martha White, daughter of Jeremiah White and Nancy Hill who removed from Davidson County after a marriage in 1818 and lived in Gibson County. I do know that Bakers were in Dyer County when the Hurts were. There was a Sheriff Baker mentioned in the records of that county. I would say that the Baker in Dyer County is a descendant of the Bakers in Dickson/Humphreys Counties. Judy Arthur ************************************** AOL now offers free email to everyone.
