I recently discovered that my 3rd great grandmother, Ann MCHUGH, married Thomas CURTIN, probably in Milwaukee about 1850. Ann, Thomas and Ann's daughters from her first marriage, Margaret and Lettica, are listed in the 1850 census in the 3 ward of Milwaukee. Sometime between 1850 and 1854, the family moves to Glenwood, Iowa. According to the Curtin Clan genealogist, another Curtin researcher had told her that Thomas had married a widow from Canada. That researcher's email address bounces. So I'm guessing that Ann McHugh was widowed while living in Milwaukee. Thomas is the uncle of Jeremiah Curtin. I wonder if anyone on the list has access to the 1846 or 1847 territorial census index for Milwaukee and could look for a James Francis or Frank McHugh. McHugh is sometimes spelled McCue. Or even see if Ann is listed as a widow. Since my research is new to this location, any places to contact for this period would also be helpful. Thanks for any thoughts. Pam Oregon

Hello Pam, My husbands family is descended from an early Milw Curtin family also. His ancestor was John Curtin, b 1-1--1812, d Feb 6 1892 in Milwaukee. He was married to a Julia Flyn. Both buried in Calvary. I have been trying to tie the 2 Curtin families together with the help of Susan Krueger (who email no longer responds). As of now, I have two Thomas Curtins: 1. Thomas Curtin - settled in Iowa, married a widow and has 2 girls . This is all the info I have (from Susan). 2. Thomas Curtin, b about 1844. This could be the Thomas Curtin that died on the Lady Elgin as a Lizzie Curtin died also on that boat and if related, they are cousins. Thomas Curtin was the son of Lawrence Curtin and Elizabeth Noonen. This is listed in the 1850, 3rd ward census for Milwaukee Co. (Couldn't find him in 1860). I have more info on all Curtin families if you are interested.
