Amanuensis Monday~Land Deed, Isaac Hurst + Others to J. B. Douglass

Amanuensis Monday is a genealogy blogging theme. It was started by John Newmark who writes the TransylvanianDutch blog.

His definition of Amanuensis is:
Amanuensis: A person employed to write what another dictates or to copy what has been written by another.

Today’s subject is ta Chesterfield County, SC Land Deed between Isaac Hurst + Others to J. B. Douglass.¹


Isaac Hurst, 1804-30 Sep 1884, was twice married. His first wife, Henrietta Rivers, passed away on 15 Aug 1865 after 40 years of marriage at the age of 60.

After her death, Isaac remarried to a young lady 20 years his junior named Sarah Ann “Sallie” [LNU]. The maiden named of Isaac Hurst second wife remained a mystery for many years until the below Land Deed was discovered.

Case in point, as late as June 2014 I did not know Sarah Ann‘s maiden name as indicated by my post on 6 June 2014.

This Chesterfield County Land Deed (1:388) proves that Isaac Hurst (1804-1884) married Sarah Ann McNair after the death of Henrietta Rivers.
