Pioneer History - Hurt Genealogy & History

Doing a research on the surname HURT, we find it was an English name with several possible origins. It could come from the Middle English HERT and Old English HEOROT, meaning stag, in which case it originated as a nickname for a swift runner.

Alternatively, it could be derived from the Middle High German word HURT, meaning woven fence or hurdle, given to people who lived near such a fence. HURT family history is first recorded with one Aelfric HORT (an alternate spelling), who lived in Hampshire in 1060. The HURT family motto (mane prcedam, vespere spoilum) means game in the morning and a feast at night.

HURT Family History

The following is an interesting HURT family history copied from Rollin HURT's notebook written in the year of 1907 by him and loaned to Ruby Taylor in 1962 by Mrs. Ralph HURT.

I find no known connection to this HURT family history and NW Okie's Maternal HURT ancestor being a part of this Rollin's HURT family history.

NW Okie's HURT's were from Dubina, Caslav County, Austria-Hungary (Czechoslovakia), coming over to America in 1874, and settling in Nebraska, Oklahoma.   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
