Dodie King married W. T. Hurt, who was listed as a farm hand attached to the household of her mother, Mary Jane King, in the 1870 census of Brownsville, Haywood Co TN. She was 18 at that time. She and W. T. Hurt apparently relocated from Brownsville to Wilson Co TN, probably around 1885, when her mother and others of the family made that move. W. T. Hurt died in 1889, leaving Dodie King as a widow. She appears not have remarried and died in 1936, still an unmarried widow.
