My name is John Scott Hurley, III. As my Father and Grandfather before him, I use my middle name, Scott. The earliest ancester I have been able todocument is Charles Hurley (d:1817) of Sussex County, DE. Charles married Mary Burton, and they had two children: Burton and Elizabeth. I have someinformation on the descendants of Burton, but none on Elizabeth's.
From Charles, my line of descent goes through Burton Hurley (d: 1830), Burton Whitefield Hurley (1827-1877), Luther Wilbur Hurley (1853-1934), John ScottHurley (1883-1931), John Scott Hurley, Jr. (b:1911), and myself (b:1945). All of my ancestors were born and lived in and around Sussex County, DE. I havenot been able to trace the Hurley line any farther back than Charles. I am especially interested in contacting anyone who may have information on Charles' ancestors.
I am also interested in talking to anyone who has information on the descendants of Burton Hurley (d:1830), and his sister, Elizabeth.
Burton Hurley (d:1830) married Elizabeth Allen, and they had 5 children:
John A.(b:1820)
Rebecca A.(b:1825)
Charles (b: 1826)
Burton Whitefield (b:1827)
