Early Hurts in Ashbourne Derbyshire England
Many thanks to Varla Jane Owens Wright for this submission.
Early Hurt Families in the Ashbourne Area of Derbyshire, England
The earliest known Hurt ancestor is given as Raphe/Ralfe Hurte of Ashbourne who, according to the Windsor Herald, married Emmet, daughter of Richard Carter, around 1454. This couple had two known sons; Thomas b. abt. 1459 of Ashbourne-in-ye-Peake, Derbyshire, and Roger, who left a will dated 11 Sept. 1522 and probated 22 Oct 1523. Roger apparently had no wife or children and left everthing to his godchildren and friends. [FHL# 95288 - document $ 43].
Thomas had four sons, as reported in records currently available:
1. William, b. about 1460 of Ashbourne, Derbyshire and Matfield, Staffordshire, d. 1520
2. Lawrence, b. about 1472, of Stanton, Staffordshire, d. 1550
3. Ralfe, b. about 1485, lived at Ashbourne, d. 1539
4. Nicholas, b. about 1487, possibly lived at Brailsforth, Derbyshire, d. 1559
Ralph is shown on a pedigree chart published in 1881 in the Journal of the Derbyshire Archaeology and Natural History Society, Vol. 3, pg. 6. [FHL# 1696504 item 3 as being the ancestor of the Hurts of Bristol. (His father, Thomas, and brothers William and Nicholas are also listed on this chart, which is primarily concerned with the progeny of Nicholas).
Records show that William, Ralph and Nicholas have a large number of descendants.604
