context_page_description: Daniel Sargent Curtis was an American lawyer and banker. He was a trustee of the Boston Public Library, director of the Boston National Bank and owner of Palazzi Barbaro, Venice.
context_section_description: In 1853, he married Ariana Randolph Wormeley (1833–1922) in Newport, a sister of Elizabeth Wormeley Latimer, both descendants of John Randolph (1727–1784).  As Ariana's father was an officer in the Royal Navy, she was born and raised in London. They returned to the United States in 1848. Daniel and Ariana settled in Boston where their sons were born:
  Ralph Wormeley Curtis (1854–1922), an artist who married Lisa de Wolfe Colt in 1897.
  Osborne Sargent Curtis (1858-1918), a graduate of Trinity College, Cambridge, who married Frances Henrietta Gandy.
  Daniel generously donated volumes to the Boston Public Library's collections during his trusteeship.  Daniel and Ariana resided at the Palazzo Barbaro until their deaths, and their heirs still own it.
