rtis [& his other wives]?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Greetings listers, Was delightful to see this obit. Thank you Nancee!! You are awesome! Lot Curtis, b. 1823 in Ohio, is my Great-Great Grandfather. It was good to read that his brother Thomas, b. 1825, was still living nearby in Warren Twp. He married Martha Chynowith, b.1824, [sister to Lot's wife, Mary Chynoweth, b.1821, d. 1883.] Thomas & Lot's sister, Harriet, b. 1820, was m. in Belmont Co., Ohio [where Thomas was born] to Theodore McKnight, b. 1816 in Loudon Co., VA. They were in Lucas Co., for a time but removed settling in Augusta, Butler Co., KS where both are buried at Elmwood Cemetery. Lot, Thomas and the Chynoweth wives were buried in Waynick Cemetery, Warren Twp, Lucas County, Iowa.

Scovel 1866 - ........ +N. W. Wilson 1859 - At any rate ... Mary E. Boss Scovel married Lot in their elder's years .. 1903. Both their spouses were deceased and likely attended the same Baptist Church. Who were Mary's parents?? Was wondering if Mary is related to Laurel Boss? Living in Oakley, Lucas Co. was Laurel Boss, once Sheriff of Lucas Co. IA in the early 1900s [History of Lucas Co., 1978 edition, p. 761. It also states: " Laurel Boss, b. 1856, was Sheriff of Lucas County for a period of time, in the early 1900's. he was an only brother of Mrs. George [Nettie] Wright of Warren township. " Nettie, B. 1846 [Lucas Co. Cemetery Records, p. 210, buried at Chariton Cem.] is also called Antoinette Boss [History of Lucas Co., 1978,p. 761]. Was Mary E. [Boss][Scovel] Curtis also their older sister ?? cousin?? Mary E.'s parents are idenified as being: Charles & Anna Woodknife Boss. Mary was born in New York, June 10, 1832, d. 1914, bur. Chariton Cemetery, Chariton, Section A, Row 2, # 5, next to her husband, Hezekiah Scovel, who d. in 1893. It appears Mary E. was the third wf of Hezekiah [Lucinda?; Diantha Waterman then Mary]. Hezekiah's dau., Carrie Ann Scovel had m. Lot & Mary Chynoweth's son, Cyrus Benson Curtis, b. 1858. So, as you see, the two families knew each other and likely all attended the same church and social gatherings.

Chynoweth 1832 - 1900 ........+William L. Harris ..24 "Jacob" William Jacob Chynoweth 1837 - // I assume the same is true of Lot's other wives: After Mary Chynoweth, Lot was m. to #2 on Nov 27, 1884 to Catherine D. _____ Shore, b. [Mrs. John N. Shore]. Catherine d. Jan 10, 1889. He was married to #3, Martha J ? Ann {Tracy} Sigler, on Jul 15, 1890. Martha d. Jan 17, 1900. And, as above, Lot m. Mary [Boss] Scovel iin 1903. Well, if anyone has info for the Boss line, or any of the above wives' surnames, it would enhance my Curtis line info and help link other lines in Lucas Co., IA. Further, looking for any Sinclair, St. Clair families that may have also migrated from Ohio to Iowa.

His wife [Mary Chynowith] died Sept. 10, 1863. He was married to MARY E. SCOVIL, April 16, 1903, who survives him. He united with the Baptist Church . . ."
