Just wondering if you found anything else about Elijah Curtis. I have this small bit of info for you:
One of my ancestors (Jacob Reece b. 1772 Yadkin NC, d. 1843 Trade, Johnson County Tennessee) purchased about sixty acres of land from Elijah Curtis in 1806 (Carter County land transfer records-Johnson County TN was then part of Carter County TN). Trade TN is situated on the corner of Johnson County TN, Watauga Co NC and Ashe CO NC. The transaction was witnessed by Landrine Eggers.
From what I can determine, Jacob Reece's son Hugh, lived on this property as did several generations of Reeces. The only info I get on his wife (Hugh) is that her name was Mary Elizabeth and would have been born about 1811 in NC.
When did Elijah leave the area?THANKS!
