I am trying to find out any information on Currie families in Columbia County. I am trying to find out information on a George Currie in particular. I estimate his birthdate abt. 1770-1780. His wife's name could have been Rebecca. According to his will in 1869 his children were James b. 1800, George, Michael b. 1818, Robert, Charles b. 1815, Martin, Electa, Catherine and Cynthia b. 1804. George Currie was living in Ashland, Greene Co., NY at the time of his death. According to the 1855 census in Greene it shows under some of his children's household's that they were born in Columbia Co but lived in Greene for 26 years. That gives me an estimated date of 1829 that the Currie's packed up and left Columbia. I strongly suspect that some of the family stayed behind. Sorry my information is very limited...any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Susan Brown rbrown14@stny.rr.com

Susan, Here are the names of some Curries buried in Columbia Co. They were taken from the Columbia Co. Master Burial Index on my website. One is named George. Three have the same names as George's sons. Two were buried in Claverack and the other (George) in Mellenville. These two places are next to each other and a little east of Hudson. All 12 Curries were buried in one of these two locations. You can tell by the book and page numbers below. It might be that these are relatives, or it could even be the children of George, plus their wives and children. You can get photocopies of these pages from the Columbia County Historical Society by following the directions. Currie Alexander Bk 14:14 Currie Catharine Bk 14:26 Currie Charles Bk 14:14 Currie Cornelia Bk 14:26 Currie Edward Bk 14:14 Currie Elizabeth Bk 14:14 Currie Elizabeth Bk 34:83 Currie George Bk 34:82,83 Currie James Bk 14:24,26 Currie Sarah Bk 14:24 Currie Simeon Bk 14:26 Currie Stephan Bk 14:26,24 These next names have a different spelling and are buried in other locations. The two Marys are the same person, but published twice. Curry Kenneth Bk 6:122 Curry Mary E. Bk 13:9 Curry Mary E. Bk 18:9 http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~clifflamere/ Go to Vital Records-Deaths to find the Index which is used in conjunction with the link just below it. That link will get you to the names of the cemeteries for each book and page number, and that is where your directions for getting photocopies can be found.
