A male descendant with the Curtis surname who seems well documented to be descended from the John Curtis who married Ann Revell had his DNA compared with a Joshua Curtis RWS who was from Wilkes County, NC and who died in Davidson County, TN in 1818. They matched perfectly, as well as with my known male Curtis cousin of Winston County, AL. Joshua Curtis was, according to my massive amount of research and circumstantial evidence (although I don't have the exact lineage pinned down) a grandson of Jonathan Curtis of Berkeley County, WV. Also, Jonathan Curtis of Berkeley County, WV was one and the same as Jonathan Curtis of Burlington County, NJ (brother to the Primitive Baptist minister Rev. Thomas Curtis who married Alice Merrill). > > We will soon have the DNA sample from a descendant of this Berkeley County, WV Jonathan Curtis and if it matches the other three I will consider this further proof of my theory. > > I would be interested in whether your conclusion is based on anthing other than the articles by Cook and also on what he based his conclusion. I will check again with my collaborating researcher who arranged for her cousin to submit his DNA to make sure we are talking about the John Curtis who married Ann Revell. If this is correct and if my theory is correct, the Northamptonshire, England line of Thomas Curtis (friend of George Fox and mentioned in his autobiography) was the ancestor of both John and Jonathan. > > Could it be that there was indeed a relationship between the Derbyshire and Northamptonshire CURTIS that has been previously unknown? > > Ruth > > > ==== CURTIS Mailing List ==== > Forgotten how to unsubscribe?
