Hello, I have been researching my Curtis line for over 7 years and am STILL as much in the dark about Thomas Curtis as I was when I started. Thomas was born in the states about 1755......I believe he is part of the family of Thomas of Wethersfield but I cannot trace his parents. He names his children Submit, Stephen, Anna, Thankful, Comfort, Phebe, John, Thomas, and Hiram. These are names that are found in the families of James Curtis and Margaret Davis and of John Curtis and Margaret Davis (Margaret married her brother-in-law, John, after her husband James died). Two sons of John and Margaret, John and Comfort are in Vermont at the time of the Revolutionary War. There is a Thomas Curtis there also and I think it is Thomas b.c. 1755. I cannot find out anything about him though other than he owned property there from 1774 until 1785. Thomas married twice; first to Valonia who died somewhere between 1792 and 1797; second he married Lucy Cheney (widow of unknown Cummings). Harlow Curtis, an earlier Curtis researcher had believed that Lucy had married John Curtis, Comfort's brother but this is incorrect. She is buried in the Curtis Cemetery where our family lived. The family of John and Comfort (including their father and mother) came to Vermont from Rhode Island. It is likely then that Thomas was also in Rhode Island prior to being in Vermont. Margaret Davis and her first husband, James Curtis had a son named Stephen Curtis b. May 10, 1735. I think this may be the father of Thomas....Thomas names his first son Stephen BUT I can find nothing more on Stephen than that he was born and raised by his mother and his uncle (who became his step-father). Thomas Curtis migrated to Upper Canada about 1800 and lived in Warkworth, Percy Twp, Ontario. He died there about 1809. Lucy remarried. Her children Benjamin, David, Mary "Polly" lived in Warkworth and are buried there. Thomas also settled there and I have been able to trace each line to the present day. HOWEVER...who Thomas was still eludes me......I am so, so stuck. I have no idea of where to go or how to go about it. I have done everything I can think of. Can anyone help? Thanks, Linda Herman Maryland

I don't know if there is any connection, but there was an Allan Curtis born in Bathurst, N.B. Canada in 1865. I have no information on who he married or where he settled but he had a brother James who moved to Manistee, Michigan and brothers John and Nathaniel moved to Wisconsin. Their father was from the U.S. Sincerely, Fran Glover ----- Original Message ----- From: <gorudi@hotmail.com> To: <CURTIS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, February 04, 2004 10:14 PM Subject: [CURTIS] I am looking for Mrs. Allen Curtis or her decendants.

Feel free to use this picture for your records. This is one of the 65,324 cemetery photos free at http://teafor2.com

I am definitely interested in any information you may have about the Curtis family. The name shows up several times in my records. It appears Philura was a fourth cousin to her daughter-in-law, Flora Minerva Hawley. (Flora's parents were William Agur Hawley and Deborah Aurelia Warner; Deborah's parents were Benjamin Ruggles Hawley and Mercy Ruggles: Benjamin's parents were Martin Warner and Mary Ruggles and Martin's parents were John Warner and Mercy Curtis) I'd be interested in confirmation of that. Another Curtis I may be descended from is Elizabeth Curtiss, b. January 17, 1676/77, wife of Samuel Ufford. Elizabeth's parents were Joseph Curtis, b. November 12, 1650, d. 1742, m. Bethia Booth November 9, 1676 in Stratford, Fairfield, CT. Bethia was b. August 18, 1658 and d. August 2, 1699. Any information you have would be greatly appreciated. Philura Curtis married John Putnam. They had 13 children, most of whom died at birth or early childhood. I am descended from their youngest, John Putnam. I have quite a bit of information about her descendants (Fairly accurate so far as family records go.) John's son-in-law kept in touch with other members of the family and made a record of their births, marriages, and deaths. Later, my grandmother did the same. I have those records, and many are on the internet as well.

there is a web page just on him and his family. I thought he might be related to my Charles H. Curtis. If I can find it I will put it on line, Ginni

This is a short bio of him but not much on his ancestry. The fact that his father was born in Canada suggests that you may have to go there for more info. http://curtis-collection.com/curtis.html --- BCR738290@aol.com wrote: > Would anyone have information or ancestry for > Edward Sheriff Curtis, famed > photographer of American Indians?
