This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Curtis, Morgan, Shipp Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/TmQ.2ACIB/2090 Message Board Post: Theodore Walter Curtis, son of Theodore Curtis and Margaret Morgan was born Jan 29, 1848 in St. Louis, MO. I can't find the 1850 census listing for his parents, but by 1860 the family was living in Salt Lake City, UT. Theodore Walter is not named but a son named John, 12y (the same age as Theodore), b. MO is listed. Two older brothers I've never heard of (Theodore was supposedly the only son according to many family histories) were also in the family according to the census, William, 15 and James, 14. They were both born in MO. Theodore Walter (TW) married Flora Lydia Shipp in Salt Lake City on Nov 20, 1871. They had a son named Theodore Edward Curtis on Sept 27, 1872. Apparently they were in the process of separation at this time and a 2nd son, Clarence Shipp Curtis was born July 22, 1876. TW may have already left his family by that time, moving to Boston, per an August 1915 clipping about TW in the Deseret News saying he left SLC "39 years ago and at present lives in Boston, Mass". I cannot find TW in any Boston censuses, yet the family received a letter from the Home for Aged Men in Boston in 1925 and TW's death certificate is also from Boston in 1930. TW was affiliated with the Unitarians in Boston and wrote for their paper, the Boston Index quite a bit in 1884 and 1885. It is said that he was part of the Free Religious Association which was a dissident group of Unitarians. I would like to find TW in the 1880-1920 censuses somehow (I've already found the wrong one, Theodore N. Curtis who is married to Agnes, living in Boston) and I also hoped to find out more about his activities in the Boston area, if any Curtis researchers have that information. Thanks, Susan

Hi Dot, You may be able to find what you are looking for by going to www.google.com/search and type in James or William Curtis at the top in the search space. Also there is a web site for Curtis with all spellings at www.curtis-curtiss.com. Charles Curtis Vice- President of United States under President Woodrow Wilson was a Kaw Indian from Kansas. He was the first Native American to become a senator and also the first Native American to become Vice President. On the Google site is info on Kaw, Pottawatomi and Osage Nations. There is also info on the Haskell Indian Nations University. I hope this will get to the info you are seeking. Good luck! Peggy

Or you can find the index to these rolls on the National Archvies site at http://archives.gov/ In order, click on Research Room->Genealogy->Research Topics->Native American records, and then pick the Final Dawes rolls or Guion-Miller rolls, e.g. to search for your Curtises. These are indexes. The complete files (applications) are not online but are at National Archives on microfilm and they contain a wealth of genealogical info. Other sites may have the microfilm as well. Good luck!
