In 1874 George Curtis was a nat
entee In this locality. (These grants
may be followed by referring to tho
patents in the edition of November
G7th.)
This George Curtis was perhaps tho
son Of Major Thomas Curtis, emigrant.
One Thomas Curtis, aged twenty
four, lived at Elizabeth City in 1924. and
had made his maiden voyage to Virginia
in the ship Flying Harte In 1921. In
1859. he was granted land at the
head of old Poquoson, and In 1912 409
acres on Mobjack Bay. Curtis Creek,
etc. Later he took up other grants
IN this vicinity.
He had a son who married. but the
old record of it is SO torn that the sons
namo and his wifes name are entirely
lost. This oldest son must have been
George, of the 1914 grant.

s(a), who married Mary t?). His other
sons were Charles (2), who married (?) 4
lanes (a). who married Elizabeth -,
