Smith - www.famillytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/s/m/i/Karen-A-Smith (4) Aug 2003: Anthony Bennezette Hurt (b. 1842) - www.geocities.com/kasmith_1966/hurt/abhurt.htm 'A. Bennezette Hurt, son of James Mann Hurt Sr. and Martha Patricia (Patsy) Marshall was the youngest of welve children. He was born May 2, 1842, on his father's farm near McLemoresville, Carroll County, Tennessee. He died on his own farm near Milan, Gibson County, Tennessee on August 24, 1883, (no will recorded) and was buried in Oakwood Cemetery, Milan, Tennessee in the Collins family plot beside his wife and their four children who died in 1908 or before (the three others are buried elsewhere in Oakwood Cemetery). He was married near McLemoresville by Presbyterian minister Howard, on October 12, 1867, to Sophie (Monie) Collins, daughter of William Price Collins and Sophia (Sarah) Ford, and sister of A. Bennezette's sister Sarah's husband Elisha Abner Collins. (This marriage was supposedly against the wishes of Monie's parents.) Monie Collins was born in Lexington, Henderson County, Tennessee, March 16, 1850. She died in Milan on November 4, 1920.
Barely age 19, A. B. Hurt volunteered for service in the Confederacy in the 22nd Tennessee Infantry Brigade, later consolidated into the 12th Tennessee Infantry Brigade. He served from July 1861 through the end of the war when his unit was paroled in the field at Greensboro, North Carolina in May 1865. His unit saw action in battles at Belmont, Missouri; Shiloh, Tennessee; Richmond, Kentucky; Murfreesboro, Tennessee; Chickamauga Creek, Georgia; Missioonary Ridge, Georgia; retreat to Atlanta, Georgia; Franklin, Tennessee; and Bentonville, North Carolina. The unit was in reserve at Perryville, Kentucky and in rear guard at Nashville, Tennessee. He was "slightly wounded" at Murfreesboro. For his service, Sophia (Monie) received a Confederate widow's pension beginning in 1906.
He was remembered as a fine looking man. "He had a weakness to strong drink, but he resisted it in his last years by not going where he could get it. In fact, it was recalled most all the Hurt familly had a weakness for tobacco and whiskey, though respectable in it all. They were the aristocracy blood of old Virginia. (Recorded in 1908 from the recollections of a cousin, Robert Greer, in his 81st year.) - Biography submitted by Mike Parsons
On all military records, he is recorded simply as A. B. Hurt. His first name is recorded as Anthony on Monie Hurt's application for a widow's pension in 1906. In surviving family records, however, his first name is often listed as Albert. On his 1867 marriage license, he was listed as A. Benny Hurt. It is believed he was generally known as Ben.
In July 1864, his brother, Joe David Hurt, was killed in Confederate service at Peach Tree Creek north of Atlanta, Georgia. Joe David's wife, Louisa Ellen Jordon Hurt died on December 31, 187. After her death, Ben and Monie took in David and Louisa's son Wiliam, age 14, and possibly their son Albert, age 27, who died less than six weeks later on February 10, 1877. Support may also have been provided to a third son, Philemon, who was near age 23 at the time. Ben Hurt was a farmer and was said to have studied law. He was raised on his father's farm near McLemoresville, Tennessee. Probably after the Civil War, bought a small farm near Milan, Tennessee. After his death, his widow Monie sold this property for about $2,000.
