Hello, I have been researching my Curtis line for over 7 years and am STILL as much in the dark about Thomas Curtis as I was when I started. Thomas was born in the states about 1755......I believe he is part of the family of Thomas of Wethersfield but I cannot trace his parents. He names his children Submit, Stephen, Anna, Thankful, Comfort, Phebe, John, Thomas, and Hiram. These are names that are found in the families of James Curtis and Margaret Davis and of John Curtis and Margaret Davis (Margaret married her brother-in-law, John, after her husband James died). Two sons of John and Margaret, John and Comfort are in Vermont at the time of the Revolutionary War. There is a Thomas Curtis there also and I think it is Thomas b.c. 1755. I cannot find out anything about him though other than he owned property there from 1774 until 1785. Thomas married twice; first to Valonia who died somewhere between 1792 and 1797; second he married Lucy Cheney (widow of unknown Cummings). Harlow Curtis, an earlier Curtis researcher had believed that Lucy had married John Curtis, Comfort's brother but this is incorrect. She is buried in the Curtis Cemetery where our family lived. The family of John and Comfort (including their father and mother) came to Vermont from Rhode Island. It is likely then that Thomas was also in Rhode Island prior to being in Vermont. Margaret Davis and her first husband, James Curtis had a son named Stephen Curtis b. May 10, 1735. I think this may be the father of Thomas....Thomas names his first son Stephen BUT I can find nothing more on Stephen than that he was born and raised by his mother and his uncle (who became his step-father). Thomas Curtis migrated to Upper Canada about 1800 and lived in Warkworth, Percy Twp, Ontario. He died there about 1809. Lucy remarried. Her children Benjamin, David, Mary "Polly" lived in Warkworth and are buried there. Thomas also settled there and I have been able to trace each line to the present day. HOWEVER...who Thomas was still eludes me......I am so, so stuck. I have no idea of where to go or how to go about it. I have done everything I can think of. Can anyone help? Thanks, Linda Herman Maryland
