My great-grandmother Margaret Ellen (Ella) Curtis was born in Zanesville Ohio 1863. Her sisters were Carrie, Sadie, and Mary. I believe her parents were Elizabeth Jane Jeffreys and James Curtis. Do you see any connection to your Curtis family? I've always been told that James was killed in the Civil War and Ella was raised by a Dr. McConagha. She married George Washington Moore.
