My gggrandfather was a Charles Curtis who farmed near Morganville, KS in the 1870's. My grandfather, Walter was a probate judge in Clay Center in the 1950's. My ancestors are Frank, Walter, Charles, Isaac, and Alexander Curtis. Morganville is about 10 miles north of Clay Center. I don't know a John Curtis.
