Curtis (we knew of him as "Bird" Curtis). In 1880 census he was 34 yrs old so he was born about 1846. James married Arminda M. Hilderbrant and had 4 children, Maggie Curtis, Fannie Curtis, Eva Curtis & Jesse James Curtis. Jesse James was my mothers father, born in 1884 and died in 1962, spouse was Ethel Wright. Trying to find James B. Curtis' parents. Do you have anything on any of the names mentioned? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. Dan Babcock
