William J. A. Hurst was born 16 January 1853[1]
in Chesterfield, South Carolina. He
moved with his Father and Mother to Collin County, Texas between 1870 and 1880.
He married Susanna H. Burch, daughter of James Clothier Burch and Celia Rebecca
Johnson, on 13 January 1881 in Collin County, Texas. It likely they knew each
other back in Chesterfield and may have traveled together during the migration
to Texas.
William and Susannah had a set of twins on 25 August 1881.
The twins did not survive. Records indicate that one twin died the same day and
the other twin died 3 days later on 28 Aug 1881. No record has been found to indicate
the names or gender of the twins.
