I am attempting to locate ancestors in the Massachusetts area in the 1830-40 era. My g-g-g-grandfather was a Dr. Thomas Curtis who moved first to Georgia then to South Carolina in the 1840's. He had a son (also Thomas Curtis) who remained in Massachusetts and filled a chair at Harvard. They had emigrated from England in 1833 after the loss of wife and mother Susan Reynoldson Curtis. There was also a sister/daughter Julia who remained in the north. This may or may not be in the same Curtis line but your information on the NY Curtis line caught my attention.
