My trail on my ancestors in the Curtis line stop with a John Madison Curtis born 15 Nov 1813 Murfrees boro TN He had a brother Samuel and a sister Rhoda His father died about 1813 from a falling tree in Rutherford County TN. His mother's first name is Cynthia I speculate that his father's name was James because his three oldest children seem to be named after other Grand parents. Can you tell me more about John or James Curtis who are the Son's of James and Nancy. Where did you get the data on this family? Have you any dates or marriages of any of the children?
