Thanks to Nancy Kennedy for her email on this topic. Nancy, was chairman of the group that put together the Reflections book in the first place and she says the Early Settlers image is correct and that is D.W. Hester. She stated that the picture of ‘Fielding and Locky’ was in fact NOT Fielding at all. She stated clearly ‘that is D.W. Hester and his wife.’

I guess that means there is only one known picture of Col. Hurst and none of Melocky.

Feel free to email me on this topic.

Listed as Mr. D.W. Hester (Col #1, Row #6 of Early Settlers of McNairy County)

from the image below with “Locky”.
