I have a few Solomons in my line that lived in Braintree, but none match yours. Given that the name was passed down through the generations, there's a good chance you're related. Take a look at: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~amcolan/Curtis/curtis.html. Most of the information on the earlier generations was from a book cited on the page. -----Original Message----- From: Gerrie Dickens [mailto:ladybugy2k@houston.rr.com] Sent: Friday, February 04, 2005 8:34 PM To: CURTIS-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [CURTIS] RE: Solomon Curtis and Warren Curtis...Brothers For Curtis Rootweb: Good morning!

Curtis Nancy and I have newspaper articles for some of the family and will be willing to share. My Warren Curtis was a part of the International Paper Co. that was located in Palmer/Corinth, Saratoga County, New York. Nancy's Solomon M. Curtis was in Mateer and he was involved in The Curtis Paper Mill, Newark, New Castle Co., Delaware. One of the things that the family seem to have in common was their pursuit of paper mills. We look forward to hearing from those of you who may have a connection.
