Surnames: Curtis Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/TmQ.2ACIB/2063.1 Message Board Post: Hello! I too have ancestors named Curtis from IL. They went from IL to AR then finally to OK. The earliest info I have is for William Henry Curtis born in 1837, Nashville, IL, Washington County. He married Nancy Etta Reeves about 1860. They lived in Washington Co., IL. Bond Co., IL. , Talihina, OK then later in Wister OK, LeFlore County after 1900. If there is any connection, I'd be happy to hear form you. Sincerely, Dot
