While I was online, Judith, I checked Ancestry.com for records on Franklin Hurt - found Franklin Augustus Hurt, born 8-3-1875 in Oglethorpe Co. listed in the WWI draft registration cards - 1917-18 - roll 1558464, image #395. He lived at Maxeys (another community near Crawford in Oglethorpe Co), age 43, his nearest relative is listed as "Mrs. F.A. Hurt, Maxeys" & he signed with his full name. The registrar's report said he was of medium height, stout build, brown eyes & dark hair. The registrar was Charles P. Brightwell 9-12-1918.

The census search on Ancestry revealed several Franklin Hurt entries in KY, one AUGUSTUS F. HURT b. ca 1830 in GA, living in Gordon Co., GA in1880 (up near Dalton/Chattanooga in the NW corner of GA).

Again, good luck, eve

Hello, I just received your post on the adoption records, and wondered if you would mind doing a lookup for me.

Felix Augustus Hurt aka Franklin Augustus Hurt died in 1890 and is buried in Crawford, GA. His wife Mary Jane Threlkeld Hurt died in 1893. I wonder if there are any intestate records listed in your book for this family. I have been at a dead end for years on what happened to his children, all would have been in their early 20's to teen years.

Thank you for any help you can give me.

Judy Gresham
