Thomas' parents were William Riley Curtis and Nancy Stagges, married 11 Oct 1815 in Williamson County, TN. William Riley's parents were John Curtis, b. 1769 NC, and Nancy (Ann) Robins, b. 1773 NC; both appear to have died between 1850 and 1860. I have 10 children for William Riley Curtis, but none named Mary (Polly).
