You could be right.On many records I have the name as either Hurst/Hust/Husk.It could have started out as Husk and was pronounced Hurst I suppose.My g/g grandfather and brother kept the Husk spelling.There father was born in Kentucky and could not read or write.That could be why his name is spelled Hurst and Hust on so many records.Maybe you are right the children took on the right spelling.I just don't know for sure.I think that is why it is so hard to trace the family.I believe my Husk/Hurst family was from Henderson County, Kentucky I could be wrong.I know that they moved from Kentucky to Warrick County, Indiana.
