Descendants of Unknown HURT




Generation No. 1


1. UNKNOWN1 HURT. He married (1) UNKNOWN. He married (2) UNKNOWN.
     
Children of U
NKNOWN HURT and UNKNOWN are:
  i.   NANCY2 HURT.
  Notes for NANCY HURT:
Apparently Nancy left the Spartanburg area by ca. 1817 as the HURT relatives In Spartanburg had not heard from her since then. This assumes that she came to Spartanburg with the rest of her family when they moved here from Virginia.

  ii.   SABRINA HURT, d. Spartanburg South Carolina; m. RICHARD FOSTER.
  Notes for SABRINA HURT:
No children. See Box 34, Package 8 of Spartanburg SC Court of the Ordinary.

  iii.   TABITHA HURT.
  Notes for TABITHA HURT:
Tabitha apparently left the Spartanburg area before 1817 as the HURT relatives in Spartanburg had not heard from her since then (see Box 34, Package 8 of Spartanburg Court of Ordinary). This assumes that she came to Spartanburg with the rest of her family when they moved here from Virginia.

2. iv.   WILLIAM HURT, b. Abt. 1770, VA.
  v.   JAMES HURT, b. Bef. 1755, Probably VA; m. UNKNOWN.
  Notes for JAMES HURT:
We know that James HURT left the Spartanburg area before 1810 as he does not appear in the Spartanburg census after 1800. His name appears in land transactions until 1809. The HURT relatives had not heard from him since ca. 1817 (see Box 34, Package 8 of the Court of Ordinary, Spartanburg, SC).

  vi.   JOEL HURT, b. Bet. 1760 - 1765; d. November 04, 1846, Spartanburg, South Carolina; m. FRANCES GOLIGHTLY.
  Notes for JOEL HURT:
1790 Spartanburg, SC Census
HURT, JOEL
2 free white males over 16, 1 free white male under 16, 2 free white females over 16, 0 free white females under 16, no others, no slaves
no other HURTs listed in census.
(I do not believe that this is the same Joel HURT that appears in later census records. My belief is that this Joel HURT lived in Spartanburg from sometime prior to 1790 to mid-to late 1800's. There is a document that shows that William UNDERWOOD oversee the road through GOLIGHTLY's plantation in place of Joel HURT. I do not have a date for this document, but its placement leads me to believe that it was 1792-1797. One would think that this was done because Joel HURT was no longer able to fulfill this duty, most likely in this case because he had removed to another area.

Date unknown. but possibly late 1792
Ordered that the Road first opened through John GOLIGHTLY's plantation thence through TINSLEY's plantation to Intersect the old Road on the Ridge towards Mr. BOWLEN's, thence to the Cross Road Toward Fords Mill, be the Established Road instead of any other that hath been opened, to lead to said places, agreeable to a petition presented to this Court for that purpose, and that Joel HURT oversee & keep the same in good repair.

6 Richardson's Equity Reports 114
William HURT v James H HURT and Others
Nov. and Dec. Term, 1853
[Executors and Administrators 315]
Before Dunkin, Ch., at Spartanburg, June 1853.
The facts of this case are states in the circuit decree, which is as follows:
Dunkin Ch. In the latter part of the year, 1846, one Joel HURT, of Spartanburg District, died intestate, leaving a considerable estate. Administration was granted to James SILMAN and Isham HURT. On the 18th February, 1848, a bill was filed in this Court by the administrators, alleging that the real estate had been sold under the order of the Court; that the personalty had been reduced to money, the debts paid, and that the distribution was ready to be made among the parties entitled as heirs or distributees of the intestate. The intestate left no widow or lineal descendant. He had had brothers and sisters, both of the whole and half blood- all of those were supposed to have pre-deceased the intestate, unless it were a brother, William HURT; of him the bill alleges that he is "supposed to be living and residing in the State of Kentucky; that he had been heard from about five years previously, but the complainants alleged that they were ignorant whether he was or was not living, or if dead, whether he had left any representatives." The existence of some brothers and sisters of the half blood is set forth, and the aid of the Court is prayed in ascertaining and determining the rights of the parties, the complainants submitting that this would depend on upon the existence or non-existence of the brother or sister of the whole blood at the death of the intestate.
On 5th March, 1848, an order for publications was made against the several defendants alleged to be absent from the state, among who was William HURT. The rule to plead having expired on the 6th, June, 1848, an order pro confesso was taken against the absent defendants. At June sittings 1848, an order was entered at the instance of the solicitors of the administrators, by Chancellor JOHNSTON, that all persons claiming to next of kin to the said Joel HURT (the intestate) do establish before the commissioner of this Court the degree of consanguinity in which they stood to the intestate, before the 1st June next, (1849). This notice was under the order published for three months in Spartanburg, in a New Orleans paper, and one at Nashville, Tennessee. At June sittings, 1849, this notice was extended for a year longer in the same papers. At June sittings, 1850, a final decree was pronounced, directing a distribution of funds among the five children of a deceased brother of the whole blood, and a brother of the half blood, share and share alike. In July, 1850, the decree was carried into execution, by payment to the several parties entitled to receive the same. All these parties reside beyound the limits of this State, except the defendant, James H, HURT, who is one of the five children of a deceased brother.
On the 1st March, 1853, the plaintiff, William HURT, filed this bill, alleging that he was not aware of the proceedings until within a year past, that the funds had been distributed under the decree among the parties, all of whom were now beyond the limits of this State, except for defendant, James H. HURT, and praying "that the said James H. HURT and all other parties who drew the funds of the aforesaid, account for so much of the same as rightfully belonged to the plaintiff, with interest thereon." All the proceedings against the absent defendants seem to be null and void for any effective purpose. As they are beyond the limits of this State and have no property within the State, it is not perceived on what principle they can be rendered amenable to the jurisdiction of the Court. Prior to the partition of the estate they were properly parties in relation to their interest therein. But after the decree had been pronounced, the estate settled in conformity thereto, and the several parties had received their respective shares, there was an end of the litigation.
But the defendant, James H HURT, relies on the former decree and proceedings, in bar of the plaintiff's action. The absent defendant in that suit, Wm. HURT, was made a party in the mode prescribed by law. In order to protect, as far as possible, the rights of absent defendants, it is provided by the 24th section of A. A., 1784, (1 Brev. Dig. 203/O. L. 337; Stat. 210,) that if any person against whom a decree shall be made, or his or her legal representatives, shall, within four years after passing said decree, if without the limits of the United States, and within two years if absent from this and within the United States, appear in court and petition to be heard with respect to the matter of such decree, &c, and such proceedings shall be had, &c., the person so petitioning shall be admitted, &c., as if no former decree had been made in the said cause. But if neither the persons against whom such decree shall be made nor his legal representative shall appear and petition for a re-hearing within the time above mentioned, such decree shall stand absolutely confirmed against the person against whom it was made, his legal representatives, and all claiming under him. The decree of June, 1850, stood then absolutely confirmed until July, 1852. It may be that errors existed either of fact or law in that decree.
If the half blood were entitled at all, the absent brother of the half blood would seem to have had scanty justice rendered to him, as he was awarded but a sixth when the cannons of distribution gave him a moiety. Yet after the expiration of two years, it would be incompetent for him to open the decree. Perhaps he was entitled to no part of the estate. How can that be averred against the decree in which the plaintiff had the same opportunity of being represented and heard as himself?
The evidence, written and oral, and offered by the plaintiff himself, is most abundant to show that both the parties and the Court used every means that diligence or caution could suggest to arrive at a sound judgment. If the decree were re-opened, absolute certainty could not be attained. John HURT and James HURT, Tabitha HURT and Nancy HURT, were brothers and sisters of the whole blood of the intestate, and made parties by publication. Their death has been presumed, and the Court has properly acted upon the presumption, and after this lapse of time, the action of the Court in relation to the subject matter of the controversy must be regarded as final. "Interest reipublico ut sit finis litium."
It is ordered and decrees that the bill be dismissed.
The complainant appealed, and now moved this Court to reverse the circuit decree, on the grounds:
1. Because the complainant is the legal heir of Joel HURT, deceased, and could not in justice and equity be deprived of his property without being heard.
2. Because the decree of the Court disposing of the property of Joel HURT, deceased, to the defendants, was ex parte, and not binding on the complainant.
3. Because the decree was contrary to law and equity, and a violation of the Constitution of the State and of the United States.

  vii.   JOHN HURT, b. Bet. 1774 - 1784, Probably VA; d. Aft. 1835; m. ESTER MCCARTER.
  Notes for JOHN HURT:
Little is known about John HURT. It is assumed that he was born in Virginia, but no documentation to prove this. John appears in Spartanburg in the 1800 Census with 2 children in the household and a woman over the age of 45 (he was between 16-26). Ester McCarter is possibly a 2nd wife? I have not located records showing when he obtained land in Spartanburg originally, but he is seen selling land in 1808 and then again in 1811. This may be when he left Spartanburg since he is gone by the 1820 census. We know that he died after 1835 as he was last heard from by HURT relatives in Spartanburg in 1835 (see Box 34, Package 8 of Spartanburg Court of the Ordinary).
