Notes

Source of our 'David' HURLBURT - On David's death certificate it said b orn in Vermont for Polly. and Alson Then in some census records Davi d said he was born in Vermont.
From an email of Olive Mae Lindell @ March 2000: Yes I concluded that Da vid did marry Lenore H Clark. Fae and I found proof when we visited th e court house. YesterdayI found in the IGI Files a couple interesting P olly Hurlbuts born abt 1805 in Sheldon, Franklin Co., Vt. Father was Bart holomew Hurlbut and Hannah Surdam. In my Vermont history Bartholomew Hurl but and Mrs Hannah Hurlbut were early members of the Congregational Churc h of Sheldon. , Franklin Co., Vt. Then found another Polly whose father w as Samuel Hurlbut and a Polly Butler. In the Vt. History there was a Rev . Samuel Hurlbut. Just interesting. In the marriages section never foun d a Polly marring aAlson Hurlbut. I printed out these findings and will s ave for futher reference. Yes David did definitely marry Lenore.

The family name has been changed many times as it descends down throug h the generations. Some examples to be found are; Hulbert, Hulburt, Hulb ut, Hurlbert, Hurlburt, Hurlbutt, and of course Hurlbut though I'm tol d it has been changed to a total of about 27 variations

The records we have show a birth place of : Littleton Vermont existed fr om 1780 to 1797 in the geographic area which is now called Waterford Verm ont. This area was in Orange County originally and later became Caledoni a County. It is a beautiful town on the Connecticut River and is partiall y bound by Moore Reservoir.

Leonora was David's second wife Leonora H.Clark of W.Sparta married at W . Sparta Jan. 11, 1883 . Mary Beth Bimber found it in Mt. Morris Union , Jan 18 1883, Page 3. Don't know what to think of this second marriag e -.Interesting. - I am wondering why when Elizabeth's death was reporte d in Mt Morris Union, Aug. 24, 1882 . It reported her age 58 and left 5 c hildren. That is pause for thought. However in the census - taken 6/1/186 5 reported Mother of 6 children. Guess I should not worry about. it. Pa pers makemistakes.
From his notice of Death as it appeared in the Dansville Express, The Nu nda News and the Mt. Morris Union in Nov 1889, David was a brick maker, a nd a contractor. It is reported that he had the contract for the Livingst on House block in 'this village' - uncertain if that is Mt. Morris or Nun da. He resided at the time of his death in Livingston County.
On the 06/01/1865 Census Anna Black - Irish Laborer was reported to be l iving with David and Elizabeth Hurlburt.
The 1830 NY Census Index references: (1) Hurlbut, Augustus NY GENESEE CO . WETHERSFIELD 309 1830; and a David H. Hurlburt also residing in GENESE E CO. but at COVINGTON N.Y. 187 Livingston County was formed on Februar y 23, 1821, from Genesee and Ontario Counties. A portion Allegany Count y was annexed in 1846, and another portion in 1856. It is surrounded by M onroe, Ontario, Steuben, Allegany, Wyoming and Genesee Counties. The Gene see River cuts through the northwestern portion of the county. Conesus La ke, near the center, and Hemlock Lake, along the eastern border are the o nly considerable bodies of water. The 1860 census showed 39,256 resident s in the county.
Individual: Hurlburt, D. County/State: Allegany Co., NY Location: Pike P age #: 119 Year: 1840 The original migration from New England to New Yor k probably occurred because the availability of trees and farmable soil w ere disappearing. The immigrants and their children, now approaching adul thood and raising families of their own, were running out of room and res ources. Several families banded together and when land became available m oved as a group to begin new settlements. Many probably bought land witho ut ever seeing it until they arrived. Some sent buyers to inspect and sel ect the land to be purchased for the group.
They moved in large groups to the new lands. The same thing occurred the re. The families in New York got too big and too many for the land to sup port so the more adventuresome moved West. The older ones and a few of th e offspring remained. Gradually the family name disappeared from the inte rmediate communities as these family members either moved to be with othe rs or passed away.
This is what happened in my family. In MA and CT there were tons of Clar ks, Watkins, Slaytons, Metcalfs and Whitneys. The 1800's saw that name pr osper and grow in Naples, NY. By the 1960's there were few to be found. 1 990's - none. But, out West - thousands. The big thing was the ability t o sustain a family with what was available where they were. I found sever al appearances of these names all along the way from MA to MI. Almost eve ry town along the route has a family with one of these names that lived t here at one time or another.
I don't think there were large pilgrimages by entire families from New E ngland or NY like it would seem. I think the movement was more individual ly motivated by the need to sustain. Sure, the availability of land wa s a factor as well. But, I see the need to provide as the major driver fo r this part of the migration.
Some major movements were religious, freedom, land purchase or adventur e motivated. But the majority was most likely needing to support a family . I found David's parents on his death certifiucate. It was at the villag e Clerk's offices. Genealogical Information (obtained from certificate o f death)

--------------------------------------------------------------- -------- --- --------------------------------------------------------------- ----- ------ ---------------------- Since GRGrandfsther David Hurlburt had a Ma son funeral. I found this information. What is a 'Masonic Funeral'?
'Any member who was in good standing at the time of his death is entitle d to a Masonic funeral if he or his family requests it. Such a request sh ould be made to the Master of his Lodge who will make the necessary arran gements with the family, the mortuary, and the minister. A service is aut horized by the jurisdiction in which you are located, and consists of par ticipation at the mortuary, the beginning at the mortuary and the closin g at the graveside, or graveside only. Pallbearers will be furnished at t he request of the family. In general, the Lodge will do as much or as lit tle as the nearest relative wishes it to do.' (From a pamphlet, 'To the L ady and Family of a Mason')
I hear Masons refer to an 'apron'. What is that?
'During the ceremonies of his initiation, each Mason is presented wit h a white apron. It is, to him, an emblem of innocence and the badge o f a Mason. It has, in all ages, been cherished by the rich, the poor, th e high and the low. It is his for life. He will never receive another on e and has, therefore, been cautioned to take it home and instructed in it s care. While perfectly satisfactory for him to do so if he desires, he n eed not bring it to Lodge, as linen aprons are provided for his use meeti ngs.' (From a pamphlet, 'To the Lady and Family of a Mason')
