Family History

In the near future, I will be putting up a site with my family tree and some of the information I have found in my research. When I get it started I will post a link here on this blog so keep posted. I have found quite a bit of interesting history such as the fact that Mary Calvert Hurley is a direct descendant of George Calvert, the first Lord Baltimore and also very probably a direct descendant of Edward III of England. Below is a post of a few newspaper articles regarding the Hurleys. Hope at least a few of y'all find it as interesting as I do.

Skeletons in the Hurley Closet

Here are a couple of interesting articles about Grandpap Hurley's father George. George was the son of William Hurley and raised in and around Canonsburg, his wife Mary Calvert's family lived in and around Brownsville, and West Brownsville. I am sure this is Grandpap's father as his middle initial is the same and all information about locations, etc. fit. The first article when he went missing was dated Oct 2, 1891 and the second about his death was dated Oct 16, 1891. Both were in The Courier, Connellsville's newspaper where apparently he was employed. Lastly I am posting his National Guard info from the state archives. I have copies of the whole pages if anyone is interested just let me know.
