Hi Kay, I didn't see any Curls on the 1863 map in the area you specified. It is possible that she stayed with a neighbor, friend, or family during that period, especially since she was pregnant. Do you know the names of her parents, or did you happen to note the names of her neighbors (the people before and after her on the census)? I would be happy to look for those. Did you find her in the 1870 census? If so, where? -Susan At 06:28 12/19/01 EST, you wrote: >Hi >I am trying to find Mary Jane Curl of Hertford Co.
