The Hurry Family Crest

The founder of the American family of Hurry, Samuel Hurry, reached the United States in 1795, at the age of seventeen, and his descendants have counted among the prominent New York citizens. This Samuel Hurry was the third son of John Hurry, of Liverpool, a wealthy and influential shipowner, himself descending from the Hurrys of Great Yarmouth, Co. Norfolk, in which county, as well as that of Suffolk, they owned estates. They were the commercial leaders in that active community, and distinguished themselves in its municipal and political affairs. The courage, energy, and perseverance displayed by the Hurrys of Great Yarmouth to obtain the repeal of the iniquitous Corporation and Test Acts are matters of history. Samuel who had arrived in one of his father's own ships, obtained rapidly, in Philadelphia, a marked position in the business world, and acted as agent between the United States and the English shipowners in the adjustment of claims resulting from the War of 1812.
