My Curtis information came to my mother from a fellow named Harlow Curtis back in 1941. He cites File 1062 Surrogate Court, Oneida Co., NY for Chloe Curtis; probate file 1069 Oneida Co., for Jairus Curtis; the 1850 census; and Kirkland Cemetery. What he gave my mother is that Samuel (1 Feb 1747-16 May 1833) settled at Clinton, Oneida Co.NY about 1794; that he married on 18 Feb 1779 Tryphene (dau of David Foote and Hannah Bronson), she died 15 Aug 1817 at Clinton (where also Samuel died. They had: 1. Ittai (b. about 1780, died between 1850 and 1858). 2. Stephen W. (b.1782, d. 24 Nov. 1829; m. Sarah Foote.) with the note that he was PROBABLY a child of Samuel and Tryphene. 3. Chloe, d. 20 Feb 1845 Kirkland (next to Clinton). 4. Elsie Serene, b. about 1789, d. 16 Feb 1839 Kirkland. 5. David W. died between 1842 and 1845. He married 3 October 1813 Elsa or Ursula Stephens at Ashtabul Co., OH. (these are my ancestors). 6. Jairus G. b. about 1790, d. 18 Jan 1856; no spouse info, perhaps never married. 7.
