Planck/Plank of VA
Does anyone know the origin of the Planck or Plank family
of the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia?The Planks migrated
into the Cumberland Gap area of Tennessee.My ggggrand-
mother America Plank married Thompson Hurst. He was a
minister of the Swiss Brethern related Baptist Church in
Claiborne County, TN. Their marriage occured c. 1820.
I have read on various sites that they were French, Dutch
or German.What country did they come from? Who were the
parents of America Plank?
Any help about this branch of the Plank family would be
appreciated.
