with terrible eczema, being a mass
of sores from head to feet and for six
weeks confined to my bed. During
that time | suffered continual tor
ture from itching and burning. After
being given up by my doctor | was ad-
vised to try Cuticura Remedies. After
the first bath with Cuticura Soap and
application of Cuticura Ointment en-
joyed the first good sleep during my
entire illness. | also used Cuticura
Resolvent and the treatment was con-
tinued for about three weeks. At the
end of that time | was able to be
about the house, entirely cured and

Sarah, Hannah and Isaac. All of his
sons took part in fighting against the
Indians.
Elizabeth, or the Widow Curtis" as
she is called in most of the early rec.
ords, is the known founder of another
branch of this family. Just when she
came over is not known, nor IS 1t
surely known who her husband was,
although it is presumed that he was
John, a brother Of the William who
came over in the Lyon. At all events,
her name first appears on the Boston
town records about 1850, She had
three sons, all born at Nazing, Eng
land-John. William and Thomas. The
latter probably did not come to Amer.
lea, for there are no records OF him
here
The Widow Elizabeth's son John

sister of Gov. Thomas Welles OF
Massachusetts He took prominent
part in public life of his time, and was
soldier In King Philips war. His
children were John, Israel, Elizabeth.

dren were Sarah, Jonathan, Josh
ua, Abigail, Daniel, Elizabeth, Ebe-
nezer, Zachariah and Josiah.
Henry, who came to WATERFOWL
Mass, in 1886, and later settled in
Sudbury, and whose descendants now
in WnrppS-
ter, Mas, established another promi
nent branch of the family here, and
the one from which the late author
George William Curtis, was descended
Henry had three sons, Ephraim.
John and Joseph; but the latter was
the only one who married and left
children. His wife was Abigail Grout
of Sudbury, and his children were
Abigail, who married Capt. Thomas
Goulding; Ephraim; Mary, who mar
red Thomas Stone; Joseph; and
Sarah, who married Jonathan Smith.
The arms, which are illustrated,
were granted to John of London, who
had formerly lived at Nazing, shortly
before William came over in the Lyon;
and it is supposed that these arms,
therefore, belong to the branches of
the family claiming descent either
from William, or from the Widow Cur

There were a great many families
of Curtis, Curtiss, Corteis, Curtels and
Curtyce in England; but although the
Amehcan families of Curtis and Cur
tiss came from England, there Is not
much known about the history OF
them before they reached this country.
Many settlers of the name reached
here before 1900 One Thomas came
to Connecticut in 1889, and his de-
scendants still live in that state,
Richard arrived in Scituate, Mass,
with his brothers John and Thomas,
in 1910 The descendants of these
three men live in Scituate, Hanover
and Boston, Mass. Another Curtis,
George, reached Boston that same

HOineS Family

\ The Haines family and the Haynes
family are descended from the same
original stock. They are an old Saxon
family and were probably established
in England more Than century be-
4 fore the Norman conquest. For when
William the Norman landed there
/ they were a strong tribe.
1t is probable that they were fol
lowers of the Saxon leaders, Hengist
and Horsa, who came to England at
the invitation of the ancient BritOns
to help fight off the invading Picts
and Scots. The SaXons, as you will
remember, put down the invaders, but
then instead of quietly Withdrawing
to their old home, they decided to set.
tie down in England themselves.
When the Normans later invaded
England they found strong clan in
Devonshire known as the Clan Haines.
There was Hayne river, a Hayne
tower, and a Hayne castle. William
took one-half their possessions for his
own and entered the other half in his
Domesday book as the property of the
Clan Haineses.
The family, In spite of this damper,
grew In size and power, and spread
throughout England. Some of the fam
lily spelled the name with an 81" and
some with ~" but however they
spelled 1t, they are of the same orig
inal stock.
Gen. John Haynes, who captured
the island of Jersey under Cromwell,
was member of the family; ard
there were several other prominent
Englishmen Of the name who traced
their ancestry back to the sturdy Sax
ons.
In 1913, about twelve hundred years
after the coming to England of the
Saxons, Samuel Haines was born
there. When he was Is years old he
was apprenticed to Mr.. John Cogs,
well, cloth manufacturer of West
bury, Wiltshire, But a year before
the boys ter years apprenticeship
was served on. Mr. Cogswen decided
to come to America to live. So in
1886 he set ont from England in the
little ship Angel Gabriel, and Samuel
Haines came with him.
Samuel Haines lived a year in Bos.
ton with Mr. Cogswoll to complete
his apprenticeship; and then he set
out in the world "or himself. In 1898
he returned to England: and as he
came back in a short time to America
with hride-Ellenor Neate-it is
supposed that he was engaged to her
before he first came over.
Samuel and his wife settled down
al Northam. and lived there for ten
years
Samuel the first had a son of his
own name, and anotfrG named Mat.
thias Samuel TIE second lived

in Greenland, Mass, and at th- break

garrison there. These two brothers
lived to a good age, but they died
within few weeks of each other, and
