HURLBURT FAMILY.


While none of the heads of the several families of this name were born in Seymour, they are all more or less identified with its interests, having located here in 1851. about the time the town was set apart from Derby. The follow ing is compiled from the "Hurlburt Genealogy" and "History of Cornwall, Conn." The emigrant ancestor. Thomas Hurlburt. is supposed to have come across the Atlantic in 1635. for he was a soldier under Lion Gardiner, who built and had command of the fort at Saybrook, Con. Mr. Hurlburt, while at Saybrook, in an encounter with the Pequot Indians. in 1637, was wounded by an arrow. as described by Capt. Gardiner in a letter written by him many years later, and stating that a certain written document was a great help to his memory. This document laid in manuscript until 1833 (173 years,) when it was printed in Vol. 3. 3rd series of Mass. Historical Society Collection. Mr. Hurlburt was a blacksmith by trade, and after the war with the Pequot- located and established himself in business in Wethersfield. Conn. A single extract from the Colonial records would seem to indicate that he was a good workman and charged a good price for his wares. March 2nd. 16.12, Thomas Hurlburt (spelled Hallibut) was fined forty shillings for encouraging others in taking excessive rates for work and wares." He seems to have been a man in good standing in the place. He was clerk of the "Train Band" in 1640, deputy to the General court, grand juror, and also constable in 1644. For his services in the Indian wars the assembly voted him a grant of 120 acres of land, Oct. 12. 1671. It is supposed that he died soon after, and it was not until 1694 that it was set off on petition of John Hurlburt, Jr., of Mid- dletown, a grandson of the settler and soldier.

and was employed many years in iron works at Salisbury and Falls Village, Conn. Mr. Hurlburt came to Seymour in 1851 and was engaged some years in the manufacture of car axles in a forge located near the Falls, the site of which is now owned and covered by a portion of the plant of the Tingne Mfg. Co. Mr. Hurlburt will be remembered by the older portion of the com- munity as eccentric in many respects, but he always stood firmly for what he believed to be just and right. He was conspicuous for his loyalty during the War of the Rebellion. Disability prevented service in the army, but by word and deed he did all in his power to uphold the cause, and to the day of his death would not vote for any man for office whom he believed to have been in any sense disloyal to his country. He died very suddenly Dec. 26th, 1878. Mr. Hurlburt had five children: Marcus A., Thomas E., Orrilla E., Jane E., George, all of whom, except Marcus A. are residents of this town.
