"The Blount family has been pronounced the oldest in North
Carolina and this means of course in Tennessee also. No family,
according to Governor Henry T. Clark, genealogist and historian,
came to the Province earlier than James Blount, who settled in
Chowan, North Carolina in 1664. He was a younger son of Sir
Walter Blount, of Sodington, Worcestshire, England, and was a
Captain in Life Guards of Charles II.
James Blount the emigrant, son of Sir Walter Blount, is said to
have emigrated to America in 1664, though the settlement of
Chowan is given as in 1669. He settled on a tract of land there
which remained in the posession of his family until the death of
his descendant, Clement Hall Blount in 1842. James Blount was a
member of the Governor's Council and was one of the Burgesses of
Chowan. He married and left one son, John Blount."
North Carolina Will Abstracts, 1660-1790: Name Location Will
Date Probate Date
James Blount Albemarle County 10 Mar 1685 - Jul 1686
Will
Sons: Thos. Blount and John Blount. Son: Jas. Blount. Daughters:
Ann Slocum and Eliz. Hawkins. Grandchildren: James and Sarah
Blount and Ann Slocum, and John Hawkins. Wife: Ann Blount.
Executrix: Ann Blount. Witnesses: Jno. Hall, Jane Miller and Wm.
Dobson. Proven before Seth Sothell.
Prescott (1902) attributes the first two children, James and
Thomas, to Capt. James's first wife, the other three to Anna
(Willis) Rascoe. Parker (1979: 178) attributes all five
surviving children to the first wife, stating that any children
born of Anna died in infancy, though she gives no reason for
this statement.
"In England the family can be carried back for many generations,
to and through the conquest into Normandy and then for many
years. So the Blounts can truly boast of being an "old family".
With William the Conqueror three young Blounds, sons of Blound
the Lord of Guisnes went to England. From two of them the
English family sprang and in the succeeding years changed the
family name less than most of the conquering Normans, for it now
appears almost as written then."

Elisha Hurt, son of Joel Hurt of Halifax County, N. C. and later
of Hancock County, Ga. and brother of William Hurt (1756-1812)
is thought to have been younger than his brother William. He was
probably born in about 1758. he moved to Warren County, Ga.
where we find him buying land there as early as 1796. He died
there in 1829. His will, dated 3-24-1829, probated on 4-6-1829,
and recorded in Warren County, Ga. on 5-20-1829 in Will Book
1810-1829, pages 191-194, names three children as follows: (1)
Benjamin Hurt, (2) William Hurt, (3) Polly Hurt, married Austin
Baker. Elisha Hurt did not mention his wife in his will, which
seems to indicate that she had predeceased him. His wife's name
was Priscilla Brinkley Hurt, daughter of Judith Brinkley of
Halifax County, N. C. Judith Brinkley mentions Prescilla Hurt as
her daughter in her will dated 6-20-1797, probated at the
November 1799 Term of Court and recorded in Halifax County, N.
C. in Will Book 3, page 322. (10A21)".
