HURD - William M from Tennessee, settled in Walnut Grove, Missouri
I am looking for any information about my G-Grandfather, William M Hurd. He was born in Tennessee to James and Milly (Lawson) Hurd. He was married to Molly Bledsoe (would like any info on her) and had 4 children, Hayes, Millie, John Albert (Elbert), and Mary. I believe Molly died giving birth to Elbert and William moved his family to Walnut Grove, Missouri.
He married Fannie Shelton who already had a son, James. William and Fanny had Laverna, Emma and Clemma (twins) and my grandmother Rosa.
I can't trace Millie past being a teenager. I don't know anything about any of the other children except Mary. She came to live with my mother Loryne Pierce Weller when she (Mary) was a very old lady.
If you can give me any information about this line of HURDs, I would appreciate it very much.
Thank you,
Leslie Weller Thomas

Hi Edmond!
You are amazing! Thanks for sharing this with me! I appreciate it.
Can you give me any hints on how to find anything about Fannie Shelton, William's 2nd wife? All I know is she had a son James when they got married. I think Shelton is possibly from a previous marriage. I think her maiden name might be Vaughn.
Thanks again.
Leslie
