Notes:
* James C. Hurley was a tanner and shoe maker by trade and owned a tannery. It was in operation when the Civil War began. It was confiscated by the Union troops in 1864, the 18th Missouri, Colonel Miller was in command. According to family members Jim Hurley did receive a written document from Col. Miller that the family would be reimbursed for the use of this tannery. However, when the troops were finished with it or the war was over, the tannery was destroyed. Union troops burned it along with the document that assured the Hurley family of repayment for their losses. There were also two bay horses taken from the Hurley family during the war by troops with the 3rd Michigan Calvary Unit. The family in later years, after the war, ran a cotton gin.
