I enjoyed the story about Curries in Mariposa and Nottawasaga. For sometime I thought my Curries came from Kintyre until I was given this information about their marriage. Archibald Currie b. about 1780 from Ballehoure, Kilmeny, Argyll, Scotland Spouce: Mary McQueen b. about 1787 Married 1808 Can anyone help? Beth
Mary, I saw your info and thought the names looked familiar. My 5th cousin Malcolm R. Campbell is descendent from Archilbald Currie and Mary (Flora) McQueen. The info he shared with me was that Archibald was born Nov 13, 1763 in Lurabus. He married Mary about 1803 and died 1814 in Tenant on Gorbas, Kilmeny. Mary was born June 16, 1770 in Killian. She died about Oct 1833 in Oro Twp. Simcoe County, Ontario. Archilbald's parents were Patrick (Peter) Currie and Florence McQueen (1719-1780) Archilbald & Mary had a son Malcolm Currie (bn 25 Feb 1807 in Belleharvie, Kilmeny - died 15 Aug 1865 at Lagmore Farm Nottawasaga Twp. Simcoe Co, Ontario) Malcolm married Mary McDougall (bn 6 Nov 1814 Bowmore - 6 Oct 1896 Nottawasaga Twp., Simcoe County, Ontario) Hopefully he will see your post. If not contact me off list and I will pass your info along to Malcolm. Christine Mary MacKay <jms.mackay@bmts.com> wrote: I enjoyed the story about Curries in Mariposa and Nottawasaga.
