Surnames: CURTIS Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/TmQ.2ACIB/2005.3.1.1.1 Message Board Post: I have done some census research on what appears to be the family of your interest. I have been trying to identify James Curtis b. 1799. I don't know that he came from Berkeley Co. VA but it is possible. Do you know for sure? I have: 1850 census Knox Co. OH James Curtis 51 VA Mary 51 VA Jacob 24 VA Sarah 22 VA William 20 VA Jane 15 VA 1860 census Knox Co. OH James Curtiss 62 VA Mary 62 MD Sarah A. 32 VA James W. 31 VA I have wondered if William and James W. were the same son - what do you think? If so, and he died in 1861, he did not have much time to father many children. Please E-mail me directly by clicking on my underlined name.
