The Monroe Co vital stats for 1852-1860 recorded the marriage of Leroy and Marinda: Leroy Curtis age 23 born Jackson Co, TN Marinda Grinestaff age 17 born Monroe Co, KY married in Monroe Co on 4 Nov 1852. Both children in the 1860 census belong to Leroy and Marinda. Their births are recorded in Monroe Co vital stats with Leroy and Marinda listed as parents: Henderson Curtis 21 Aug 1853 Monroe Co Catherine Curtis 4 Sep 1855 Monroe Co It was Henderson Curtis who drew my attention to this family, since he married into my Moore line. I have always thought that the Leroy Curtis who lived with Gerusha in the 1850 Jackson Co, TN, census is the same as the one who married Marinda. But I have no proof. Take care.
