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) Ann E. (b:1829) (m: John Handy) I have some information about Burton Whitefield, but none on John, Rebecca, Charles, or Ann. My Gggrandfather Burton Whitefield Hurley (b:1827) married Mary Wilson Obier, and they had 12 children: 3 died as infants Isaac Jesse (b:1849) Margaret Elizabeth (b:1851) Luther Wilbur (1853-1934) (my ggrandfather) Martha Bell (b:1855) William Henry (b:1858) Celia Ann (b:1860) John Burton (b:1862) Charles Edward (b:1865) Mary Catherine (b:1871) The only ones of the above list that I have any significant information about are Luther Wilbur and Charles Edward. My Great Grandfather Luther Wilbur Hurley (1853-1934) married Willie Scott, and they had 8 children: Leon Scott (1876-1958) Frances Jane (1879-1948) Mae (1882-1954) John Scott (1883-1931) (my Grandfather) Wilbur Charleton (1885-1963) Albert Burton (1893-1957) Ronald Austin (1898-1965) Louise (1901-1942) I have some information on all of the Hurley's of the above generation, but there are still several gaps in my information.As mentioned above, I am interested in contacting anyone who may have information on any of the above listed people, their spouses, children, and spouses ancestors. Thanks in advance.
