Greetings again, Wanda, et al: Oops, once again, my email took off on me at the touch of a wrong key before I finished the background info. Also, Correction: I take it back that it's "not my line". I see that Jane's sister, Mary Ellen "Mollie" Proctor m. John Henry Curtis, b. 1859. He too was a descendant of Barnabas Curtis, b. 1746, and Rachel Romine Curtis, b. 1767 as is my Great Grandpa, William Thomas Curtis, b. 1845, [son of Lot, b. 1823, & Mary A. Chynoweth, b. 1821] who m. Mary Elizabeth Farber, b. 1852 [dau. of John Farber, b. 1823, & Sarah Headley, b. 1829], etc.. Essentially, John and William were second cousins. A. History of Lucas Co., Iowa, p. 734-735 There are two pages of pix and information about Thomas Proctor that may be of interest. "THOMAS L. PROCTOR, son of Joseph and Jane [Mathis] Proctor, and grandsom of Littlepage and Sarah [Woodruff] Proctor and Martin and Jane Mathis, was born in Hamilton County, Illinois in 1832. He died of blood poisoning in Chariton, Iowa on July 14, 1902. About 1836 he moved with his parents to Peoria County, Illinois. Here, on August 25, 1853 he was married to Altamira Jane Kimzey, Altamira was born in Hamilton County, Illinois on September 19, 1835 She died in Chariton, Iowa on May 14, 1908. Myra was the daughter of Robert B. and Mary [Loyd} Kimzey, granddaughter of Daivd Kimzey and a great granddaughter of Benjamin Kimzey of Buncombe County, North Carolina. In 1864 the Proctors bought land in Warren County, Iowa where they lived about four years. Mr. Proctor operated a livery barn and then went into veterinary work. Both Thomas and Altamira are buried in the Chariton Cemetery. Thomas and Altamira were parents of seven children." [See desc. outline below.] The article goes on to discuss each child. There are give pictures on the two pages: Thomas L. & wife, Altamira, Carmi McKinley, "Didge" McKinley, and their dau. Evenlyn McKinley.
