Its great to see someone else working on the Curtis families.
My grandfather was William Walter Curtis, born 1846 in Bastrop, Morehouse Parish LA. He was the brother of Laura Lucinda and Albert Lattimore Curtis.Their father, Henry Curtis was born in Glou.MA and at age 14, went on the brig with his bother, Capt.Thales Yeaton Curtis, and got deathly seasick. He would not get back on the ship for the return trip to MA, so stayed in LA. This is where the Southern branch of the family started.He married Subbrina Moore in St. Tammys Parish, LA, moved to Morehouse Parish and became Land Surveyer for the State of LA. He had slaves, but did not believe in slavery.After the war, he moved to TX and his freed slaves went with him, as he treated them with respect.I understand he was connected with the Salt Mines in Grand Saline, TX. Subbrina died in LA before 1860.William Walter Curtis lived in TX and married 1st, Mary Elizabeth Hanson, 2nd,(my line) Texanna Alexander Patton, widow of John Thaddeus Odom, after her death, married Mrs. Mattie Short, they divorced and he married Mrs.Mary L. Hasley, who had 5 children.Texanna died in 1913, when my Dad was 6 years old and W.W. died in 1921 north of Granite, Greer, OK, where the family had moved in 1901They are buried at the Rock Cem. west of Granite.They had 10 children and my Dad was the youngest. Texanna had 3 children from her first marriage.scarlet fever took 2 of them and her husband, John. W.W. had 1 child from 1st marriage to Mary.He died young and his Mother died 2 years later. Thanks for getting on Gem.Com, so I could find you.I have some information that Seaphus Washington Curtis, son of Albert lattimore, handed down to my family.Hope to hear from you soon.Peggy
