This information is from his Obituary in the New Haven, Mich. Paper. April 1905

He was born at Southington, Ohio and educated at Western Reserve Seminary, West Farmington, Ohio. At 19 years of age he went on a traveling expedition down the Mississippi river. While enroute, enlisted in United States service to fight Black Hawk Indians. After serving a term of 3 months and 12 days was honorably discharged, then went on a hunting tour with an old hunter in the wilds of Arkansas. During the winter they killed 38 deer, 4 bears and lots of smaller game, selling it at Memphis, Tenn. After returning home, with a company of young men, went to the far West in search of gold. Climbed Pikes Peak while prospecting. Not being as successful as he wished returned home, taught several terms of school, being so successful as a teacher that he continued to teach even after he came to Michigan. He married Miss Clara Rice of Southington, Ohio in 1862, and four years later moved to this place with his wife and two children where he has lived ever since. Mr. Hurd was a man well known in this vicinity, having held several offices of trust here at different times. For three years supervisor, held office of justice of the peace for a long time, also was clerk of the Christian Church at Easton, only relinquishing that a short time ago, showing that the people recognized his worth and ability as a true citizen.

Hurd-563 and Hurd-409 appear to represent the same person because: Similar mother, same father. The birthdate around 1836-1837 appears to be the correct one. See FamilySearch profile for sources: https://familysearch.org/tree/#view=ancestor&section=details&person=LCT4-MVP
