This seems to be your George in 1860 and 1870. 1860 > Iowa > LINN > WASHINGTON TWP Series: M653 Roll: 332 Page: 326 CURTIS GEORGE 39 M W NY IA LINN WASHINGTON TWP 1860 He was 39, b NY a miller, with Secillia 31 b Oh, Heslif W. 14 b Oh, Adaline 12 b OH, Amasa (male) 9 b IA, Elihu 8 b IA, Sarah A. 2 b IA. Apparently they moved to Iowa sometime between Adaline's birth and Amasa's. ============================ 1870 > Kansas > HOWARD > BELLVELL TWP Series: M593 Roll: 434 Page: 228 CURTIS GEORGE 49 M W NY KS HOWARD BELLVELL TWP 1870 With Secelia 44, Haslette 24, Adeline 22, Amacy 19, Elihu 17, Alice 11, George W. 8, Emma J. 6, and Charles H. 3, all the new ones born Iowa. I assume Amacy is Amasa, Haslette is Heslif, and Sarah A. is Alice (or v.v.). Apparently they had moved to KS within the last 3 years or so (i.e., after Charles's birth). In the same township in 1870, a 15 yr old M. E. Hinkle, b IL, was livng on a farm with the G.T.?Rankin family. Hope something here helps... ============================== --- Leanna Veazey <leanna@seark.net> wrote: > Looking for infomation on GEORGE CURTIS born > about 1820 in New York.
