PS.By the way, I still am unclear as to which Adam Curry may be older, and whether or not they are related.Based on the Pocahontas County history book and family tradition, we know that Adam Curry (father of John) was a revolutionary war soldier.That means he was probably born prior to 1760.Mary Curry who married Thomas Harrison was married in 1792, so her husband could have either been executor of her own father's will, or of a brother's will.It is unclear which Adam is really her father.These are the two theories:1.Adam/Ann had Mary, andanother son Adam.Ann died, Adam remarried Phoebe and had more children.Adam the younger died 1809 and his brother-in-law was executor of his will.2 (and I feel more likely):Two Adams, perhaps related lived around the same time and were close to the same age.The first married Ann, had daughter Mary, died 1809.The second married three times (don't know names of first 2 wives) and then Phoebe and lived a long long time.There aren't many records to go on for either one.
