The Fairfax County Chancery Court Papers in the 1845 term recorded the case
of Hurst v. Hurst Heirs. It recites that Elizabeth Thrift, daughter of
John Hurst, deceased, had married George Thrift, deceased, and that her
children were Robert, deceased; Sally Overall; Penelope, married to Carr W.
Lane; Mary, married to George Minor; Jane, married to Luke Frizzell and
Elizabeth Adams.
In that same term George Thrift was appointed administrator for Robert
Thrift, deceased. It recites that Robert was the son of Elizabeth Thrift
and Grandson of John Hurst. This is rather strange as Robert had died in
Albemarle County and left a will made in 1841 which was admitted for
probate there in June of 1847 in which he names his son, George N. as his
executor. Later on 19 September 1851 George N. Thrift of Madison County,
as executor of Robert Thrift, conveyed to William Nutt the property in
Fairfax County which George and Elizabeth had sold to Robert in 1796 and
that which he had inherited from his father through the will[162].
The only explanation I can give is that Robert had died in Albemarle County
by 1845 leaving property in Fairfax County and his son applied for
administration so that he could sell the land. Later the will was
discovered and offered for probate in Albemarle County, George was made
executor under that instrument and as such sold the land in Fairfax in
1851.

In addition to a son John named in a 1760 lease, who may have died
before 1797 as he was not mentioned in his father's will, made 26 June of
that year, they had six children mentioned in the will which was probated
16 October 1797.
Jane was to get the Negro Sam plus a lease in
perpetuity to her and her heirs of the 150 acres he had purchased from Bryan Fairfax.
Robert was to get all the land contained in the William Adams lease and 28 acres of woodland where George was then living and the Negro Jane.
Elizabeth to have the Negroes Winney and Dick,
Sarah to get the Negroes Harry and Daniel,
Penelope the Negro Jemmima,
and Mary the Negroes Lewis and Amelia.
His wife was named executrix and the estate of 15 slaves, numerous horses,
cattle, sheep, hogs and other personal property was appraised at 1,164
pounds 17 shillings, 160 a substantial amount in those days.
Elizabeth died 12 June 1816.
