As I said Joseph Phillips is a half-brother to my g-grandfather. I am in contact with one of their descendants that would like to compare notes with you. Joseph and Lucinda were married in Oregon County MO 22 Sep 1889. Her birthdate is Jun 1870. No source for the birthdate, but marriage comes from marriage records of Oregon Co. They had 2 children John J and Clara. My correspndent is a descendant of Clara.

THAT'S HIM! Thank you so much. I had him living in Quincy, Ohio in the 1870's but lost track of him after that. I'll see what I can find of him in Osborn, MO. By the way he married a Icelid Blakeley who must have died before he did.

Edmund lived Kinderhook and Cherry Valley NY, He may have died in the War of 1812, killed near Fort Erie, Sep. 1814. He was in Montgomery Co. (NY?) in the 1790 census. Possible sons named John C. and Enos." My gr-gr-gr-gr-grandfather was named Orsemus. He had to have been born in the late 1700's, as his sons Barton and John were born in 1816 and 1822 respectively. Barton was born in Canada, and John was born in Ohio, possibly Richland County. In the 1850 census in Berrien Co. MI, in the 10th Division (whatever town that was) lived Barton, John, and an Orsemus, but that Orsemus was born abt. 1803 in NY, so I figure he's got to be related to my Orsemus as Orsemus Curtis is not a common name. That's what I'm trying to figure out, is the connection. Then there's this Stephen Curtis, of NY, whose sons from his 3 wives ended up in Cass and Berrien Counties. They too in 1850 lived in the 10th division. Then some of them moved to Cass Co. The younger Orsemus (the one born abt. 1803 in NY) has a son named Edmond, I found in 1850 and 1860 censuses. I'm just trying to figure out how they connect to Barton & John's father, also named Orsemus Curtis. I don't know anything about him, other than wife's first name was Pilegg/Filegg, according to Barton's death record in Berrien County. Kelly Kahlau

My gr-gr-gr-gr-grandfather was Orsemus (sp?) CURTIS. His wife's first name was Fileg/Pileg. I know for sure they had AT LEAST 2 sons, John Gilbert CURTIS and Barton Israel CURTIS. John was born in OH (possibly Richland Co.) and Barton was born in Canada West. John was my gr-gr-gr-grandfather. Both sons settled in Berrien County, MI. John married Diana OLIN. Barton married Betsy WILLARD. I had a volunteer help me with my Curtis family a year or two ago, and she changed her e-mail address. I saw she had a new one, wrote her there, and the e-mail was returned as no such person. When she was helping me, she found a younger Orsamus (whom I assume was Orsamus Jr.), as well as some other Curtises, but my e-mails I saved from her got lost when my computer crashed. Now working on my Curtis line again after contacting a new cousin, I found the other Curtises and need to know how they all connect. They include the following: Roswell CURTIS (born abt. 1809/1810 in Canada West), Benjamin CURTIS (born abt. 1800 in NY), Stephen CURTIS (born abt. 1804 in NY), and then there's Orsamus CURTIS (Jr.?) born abt. 1803 in NY. They all lived (some time in one county and then the other) in Cass and Berrien Countiesin Michigan. My cousin found something on the internet about a Stephen Curtis, whose son Solomon came to Berrien Co. MI with his half-brothers, from NY (and then he moved to Cass Co. MI). I also found Solomon in the 1850 census, living with a Stephen Curtis, who would probably be his older 1/2 brother. My point to all of this is this...I need to find out how all these men relate to my Orsamus Curtis. They were ALL in the same town in Berrien Co. in 1850, not far from each other. In fact Roswell lived close to my Barton. They were all pretty close in ages. Barton's daughter, Philena CURTIS also married Wellington PATTERSON, who was brother to Tryphena PATTERSON, who was wife of Roswell CURTIS. Can anyone help my cousin and I, PLEASE, sort this out and figure out how they all relate? If so, you can leave message here or send me an e-mail at CatzNBearz71@aol.com. Thank you! Kelly
