The Hurlburts were important in the history of the Midwest. Dulcina's grandfather was Jacob Hurlburt (1762 to 1840). Jacob's tombstone and a small Hurlburt family graveyard were unearthed in 1982 along Alum Creek. Early 19th-century maps of Delaware County show that Lee and Jacob Hurlburt had adjoining farms by Alum Creek. Jacob's tombstone shows that he was born on 6 June 1762 and that he died in Delaware County, Ohio, on May 31, 1840.
Another Hurlburt was Benoni Hurlburt , who may have been related.His story was written about in numerous history books including History of Washington County, 1881; Memoirs of the Early Pioneer Settlers of Ohio, 1852; History of Marietta, 1903; and History of Athens County, Ohio. The Hurlbut Genealogy, by Henry H. Hurlbut shows the descent of Benoni Hurlburt from Thomas Hurlbut who immigrated to Connecticut in 1635.
Jacob had a brother Rueben and more is known about him than about Jacob. Reuben moved to Athens, Ohio (the county where Marietta is located) in 1790, a year before Benoni was killed. A few years after Benoni's death a Reuben Hurlburt is listed in the (1803) Census as a property owner in Belpre. Reuben's mother, who had traveled to Athens, Ohio and then moved on to the small town of Ames, Ohio, died in Ohio, at the age of 112.
Later Reuben is shown as living in Ames, Ohio. Reuben and his family later moved to Indiana, where they founded the town of Hurlburt Indiana (The Hurlbut Genealogy).
Marietta became the first permanent American settlement to be organized in the Northwest Territory. It became the gateway into Ohio, which was the first state to be formed from the Northwest Territory according to the protocol drawn up in the Northwest Ordinance. Through this prototype other states followed and the Colonies became the United States of America.
