The Hurts of Virginia and Tennessee

It seems that the Hurts (there are several branches) emigrated (at different times to the colonies from England (many from the Bristol area) and settled in Virginia in the 1600's. After the Revolutionary War, many families of Hurts moved out of Virginia, settling in North Carolina, Tennessee, and Kentucky. From those states, they fanned out across the country. These Hurt pages are just a start at collecting information on the Hurts, but there is much work to be done. Be sure to read the manuscripts listed below to get a larger picture of some of these early Hurt families.

This is a bible kept by a Tennesse Hurt family from the line of Jamms Mann Hurt. I'm not exactly sure who actually owned this bible or made the entries. This came to me from a TN cousin. These are scans of photocopies so they are not great. They are larger sized jpegs. Click on a link to open the file in a new window. Right click on the image to save or enlarge and read onscreen.
