- Thomas Hurst (1764-1847) of Claiborne County, Tennessee owned slaves Dice, Fanny and Louisa. “In Claiborne County on May 25, 1807, Thomas Hurst sold a negro girl named Dice, about eleven years old, to William Stround, for the sum of $300.00. … According to Eathan Allen Hurst, great grandson of Thomas, Grandfather Hurst owned the Big Springs lands and all lands along the State Road from Big Springs to Sycamore Creek. … Before his death, he deeded his home and several Negro slaves to his daughter, Fetney Stone. … Thomas Hurst became a member of Big Springs Church in February of 1807. In his will, dated October 7, 1846, he provided that two of his slaves, Fanny and Louisa, should be the property of his wife [Silvia], until her death, and then that they be emancipated.” Source: “The History of the Hurst” Family by Philip M.
