Nancy Mast), Thomas, Sarah (married John Robbins), Benjamin, Caleb and John. Some of this may have come from Mrs. Trogden, who I think believed the Curtis family was Welsh and came directly to N.C. in the 1750s, rather than from Virginia. James is my ancestor, through the Hoovers. This was 25 years ago. Have we made any progress? Al Field Washington, D.C. field@msn.com
