CURTIS in Clark co KY 1800+
Looking for further information on Levi CURTIS who married Harriet S. Ricketts 23 August 1823, in Clark co, KY. The 1850 census gives the names of two children only--Caroline (an unmarried daughter?) and my ancestor, Evan Milton Curtis. Surely there were more children?
Evan Milton Curtis married Sarah Embree/Embry
20 May, 1858 in Clark co KY. Does anyone have information on her parents?
I descend from their second child, Thomas b July 1858, who married 2 Feb 1879 to Amanda Turpin, daughter of John J Turpin and Elizabeth Jane Barnett of Estill co, KY.
Any help appreciated. Census and other details below.
Thanks!
