While sorting out the Hurd/Heard/Herd families of Crawford County, PA mid 1800's, I have a run into a snag in the family of Albert Hurd. He appears to have a daughter in the 1830 and 1840 census records born between 1825 and 1830. She is out of the house by 1850. In 1850 Albert Hurd age 49 born VT appears with "wife" Amanda b. MA, John Hall (and ditto marks for Hurd) age 8 b. OH and Marilla Hurd (surname written out) age 80 b. OH (ditto marks for OH). He is living next door to Isaac Hurd (b. VT) and Eliza Darling (b. MA) and their family. Marilla Hurd appears twice that census year in Spring Twp. on different days in two houses but it is the same woman.
Albert Hurd dies in 1855 and is buried in Spring Cemetery, Crawford Co., PA. He leave no will or estate package nor does Amanda, his wife, who dies in 1862 and is also buried in Spring Cemetery. There is no record of Albert or Amanda transferring any land between 1850 and 1880 in Crawford Co., PA.
I am looking for Albert's daughter who might (or might not) have married a man named Hall. If she married a man named Hall that would explain the John Hall (ditto marks for Hurd) age 8 in the house in 1850 and the 19 year-old John Hall in Amanda's house in 1860. I could not find John Hall/John Hall Hurd after 1860 in the area.
Does anyone have any information on this John Hall / John Hall Hurd (b. ca 1842 OH or PA) or his parents?
I am also looking for information on Wines and Marilla Hurd's family. Given the birth locations of Albert and Amanda, their close proximity in the census records with Wines and Marilla, and the fact they are all buried in the same cemetery, I figure that Albert may be a son of Wines. If so, maybe John Hall/John Hall Hurd, moved on with some of his extended cousins.
I see that many people list Wines' son Albert as deceased in 1824, but I have not seen any reference to proof of this fact. Based upon the presence of Marilla Hurd age 80 in the house of Albert and Amanda Hurd in 1850 census Spring Twp., Crawford Co., PA, I am not willing to accept the 1824 death date at this time.
Thank you in advance for any help you might be able to provide in locating this family.
