Welcome to my Hurst site!
My grandmother was Neva HURST of Wythe Co Virginia.
She was born 1894 in the Reed Creek section Wythe Co VA, and died in Poplar Camp, Wythe Co VA. She was the daughter of Alice HURST. She married George Madison SHELTON, son of Charles Madison SHELTON and Nelia Frances NAPIER. He was born 8 JUL 1881 in Patrick Co VA, and died JUN 1978 in Wythe Co VA.

We are descendants of two Hurst lines!

Samuel HURST was born October 9,1808 in Wythe Co VA, and died 9 MAY 1881.  Wythe Co Va 1880 census shows his father to have been born in Maryland. I believe William Hurst and Rachel Cummins to be his parents.
