Marriage License for Jospeh Curtis and Rachel E. Randolph Married February 22, 1892 Place of Marriage Residence of Mr. B. Jack Age of Husband 20 years Age of Wife 27 Years Yes, this is not a typo Both Single All Residence of Bath County, Virginia Husbands Parents Joseph and Lucy Jane Curtis Wife's Parents W.J. and Elizabeth Randolph Occupation of Husband Laborer Rachel and Joseph had a daughter Lillie L. Curtis born 3-18-1895 and died 5-8-1895 of unknown causes. A son William J. Curts born 10-8-1892. Both were born in Millboro Depot, Bath County, Virginia. Joseph's Parents were Joseph and Lucy Jane Gibson Curtis Joseph was the son of Thomas and Ann Curtis all from England. I have been unable to find when they came to America but Joseph joined the Bath County Greys in June of 1861. He served with Lucy's father Stephen Gibson who may have possibly been the oldest serving confederate soldier as he joined when he was 69y/o. They were both taken prisoner at the Battle of Rich Mountain in West Virginia. They served in the 25th Virginia Infantry. Stephen Gibson also served in the 62nd Virginia Mounted Infantry and the 18th Calvalry. I also have somewhere pictures of the grave markers of William J. and Mary J. Curtis William bon 1892 died 1958. Mary born 1890 and died 1961 they are buried inGoshen Baptist Church Cementery in Goshen Virginia. I found them when I was searching for the gravesites of my great-grandfathers children that did not survive to adulthood. They are also buried in that cementery. Robert Curtis was your Joseph's brother both born of Joseph and Lucy Curtis. I have some sibling information scattered here and there as I have not organized all the information I gathered on my last trip to Virginia in October. Let me know if there is anything else I can share. Let me know if you find anything else.
