Joseph & Anna Hurt...

"Hi, I received Joseph Hurt's Naturalization Record in the mail today. Read the year wrong in the census. He was naturalized on 24 Sept. 1890 at St. Paul, NE. That was the only record in his file. I am going to see if they have his First Papers in New York. He signed his name Josef Hurt. Just wanted to let you know in the 1900 census Bishop Twp, Woods Co. OK, Sheet 4A line 13-21 is enumerated the following:

Hurt, Joseph Head W M Sept 1855 44 M 21 -- Bohemia Bohemia Bohemia 1876 23 NA Farmer O - yes yes yes O F F 75

wife W F Jan 1863 37 M 21 11 8 Bohemia Bohemia Bohemia 1876 23 NA - - yes yes yes

The children listed as living are : John, Joseph, Carrie, Matilda, Emma, Mary and Lucy. John is 19. In 1880 the children living were: Anna age 1 and Joseph age 6 mo. So it is my conclusion that Anna Hurt age 1 in 1880 would be 21 in 1900 and married. The Joseph 6 mo. in 1880 probably died as they had another child name Joseph. There still remains two children that Anna gave birth to who were born and died between 1880 and 1900. Anna (the daughter) may have married in Nebraska and never came to Kansas. I can recall that I was told that my great-grandma Emma went to her sister's house in Nebraska to give birth to her first born, Annabel. Unfortunately, my grandma is no longer living so I can't ask her this sister's name.

Incidentally, in 1930 census Joseph Hurt states that he emigrated in 1874 and was NA in 1880. I have written to the Howard Co., Nebraska Clerk of the District Court requesting copies of his papers. I have not been able to find him in any ship manifest records as yet. I cannot find any Wallman families either. When I receive his papers I will let you know more on his emigration." -- Kathy - Email: gregory@giantcomm.net   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
