My records indicate that my 3d great-grandmother was Sarah Faris HURT (1773-1854). She married William (Mill Creek Billy) FOSTER, who was born 24 May 1768 in Amelia Co. and died in 1840 in Spartanburg, SC. The Foster family moved from Amelia County to Spartanburg some time before 1784. One of the daughters of Sarah and William married an Isham HURT (or HART), and another married a Vernon HURT. Also, according to my data, my 5th great-grandaunt, Mary WINGO (b. 1726), married a HURT, but I don't have his first name. Surnames: Clements, Foster, Hurt, Lyon, Seay, Wingo Please let me know if you see any links to your lines. --Walter -----Original Message----- From: Sandra Hurtt Raviv [mailto:shraviv@cox.rr.com] Sent: Monday, March 12, 2001 7:36 PM To: VAAMELIA-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [VAAMELIA-L] Hurts in Amelia Posted on: Amelia County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Va/Amelia/10659 Surname: Hurt, Barden, Morris ------------------------- I am interested in all the Hurts of Amelia County, VA. There were early landowners in the 1700's, but the name Hurt does not appear in any census after 1870, so they all appear to have left. My own ancestor, Wm. F. Hurt, was born about 1816 and married Martha Barden in 1838. She was the daughter of Thomas Barden and Mary Morris. Hughes Perrin witnessed their marriage; he was married to an Elizabeth Hurt, possibly a sibling of Wm. F. I suspect most Hurts were related, so I'd like to know the family trees of other Hurts in Amelia. Many thanks!
