Curtis. A fragment of Jay's record is given in Harlow Curtis' ~1956 typescript "Richard Curtis of Dorchester, MA & Wallingford, CT", p. 329. Adding census records give Jay & Mary the following children (all b. NY; list not known to be complete): Orra Jay (male) b. 4 May 1880; Virgil M. b. Feb 1883; Hobart O. b. Aug 1892; David K. b. May 1894; Hannah M. b. Jan 1898. This family is in Exeter, Otsego Co. in the 1900 census. If this is the correct family, then your Virgil's line is: Richard(1), Isaac(2, 3), Daniel(4), Ebenezer(5), Miles(6), John(7), Charles(8), Jay C.(9), Virgil(10)." This is the text of an e-mail I recently recieved. I have determined this is the correct family. I was wondering if you had any info. on Richard Curtis of Dorchester, MA, and Wallingford, CT or the subsequent generations listed. This part of my family has been a real dead end until I recieved this new info. any help would be appreciated. Gratefully, Alan Matteson
