Author: Harley Buntin Neal
Publication: 15 August 1990, 45 pages
Note:
Captain John Curd was a Revolutionary War soldier during 1778 through 1781. In 1780, John Curd was among the first settlers in Jefferson County, Kentucky on the Kentucky river. He owned 36,000 acres of land in Fayette, Jefferson, and Lincoln Counties, Kentucky. In Mercer County, he ran a public ferry, a tobacco inspection warehouse, a water grist mill, and a flour warehouse. He also built roads from harrodsburg to Lexington, Kentucky. He was an emissary for Governor Patrick Henry in Kentucky.
Capt. Robert Behethland arrived on 14 May 1607 on the immigrant ship Susan Constant with Admiral Christopher Newport from London, England to Jamestown, Va. First settled with Capt John Smith.

Author: Benjamin S. Curd
Publication: 5 pages
Note:
The original ancestor, Joseph, came from the Louther Hills and was a member of the McLeod Clan of Scotch Highlanders, also his wife, Janet BAIN, was a Highland woman, both of them of the manor born. Dr. Thomas S. CURD, and Joseph CURD and his (Thomas') wife PRICE, with perhaps one or two of his brothers sailed to America around 1700 on board the ship Sleuth Hound or Slouh Hound. They landed at Newport News and went up the James River by flat boat. They camped on the island in front of Richmond, Virginia which is supposed to be about 25 miles. They traveled from there to Goochland Court House and settled them. This is in present day Albermarle County, Virginia.

Author: Thomas H. S. Curd
Title: The Curd and Allied Families
Author: William B. Curd and Lucy Price Rayne Truog
Publication: Madison, Wisconsin, November 1927
Note:
The family of CURD is of Scotch origin, to the manor born. (1-From letter of Thomas H.S. CURD.) The name is not a common one. Like many surnames it probably found its origins from eatables (2-Bowditch's--Suffolk Surnames),however, other authorities say the name, CURD, may have been derived from the German Kurde (3-Barber--British family names.). It is thought the Curds are descended from the house of the Duke of Argyle (4-From Thomas H.S. CURD). They have been traced back to Glasgow and Edinburg, Scotland. The first known ancestor, Joseph Curd, was born in the Lowther Hills and was a member of the McLeod Clan of Scotch Highlanders. Janet BAIN or BAYNE), his wife, was a Highland woman. (The McLeon Plaid is yellow and black with a thin red line through(5-Book of Scotch Plaids).
As far as I know, no one has written about the Curd family with the exception of Benjamin S. Curd, now deceased, of Morley, Mo. (6-In 1915 he had privately printed only 50 copies of a pamphlet on the Curd Family. He gave many copies to relatives in Missouri, Kentucky, Texas, California, Oklahoma.). He privately printed a pamphlet on the Curd family, which consisted of only a few pages. Charles Paine Curd, now deceased, made a study of the family, but he made no effort to find collateral branches. His entire research was backward in the direction of the fountain head. It was he who traced the family back to Joseph Curd of Scotland.
Charles Paine Curd said that in this country all the Curds, without exception, trace back to Thomas S. Curd of Goochland Court House, Goochland County, Virginia. From Virginia many by the name of Curd migrated to Kentucky, and later to the more western states. The history of Kentucky is wrapped up with members of the Curd family and, while the name has never been heralded in books, the most incidental reading of the records will disclose their usefulness and high character. Several Kentucky towns have their origins placed to the Curd family. Charles Curd, brother of Thomas "Curd, was one of the first settlers of Louisville. He was the original owner of a lot on Main Street in that city, adjoining one owned by Squired Boone, brother of Daniel Boone. The official record in the court house gives Daniel Curd credit of being the founder of Glasgow, and he probably named it after the place which had formerly been the home of his ancestors. Newton Curd founded Curdsville. Edmond Curd, grandfather of Benjamin S. Curd, founded Wardsborough, once the county seat of Calloway County, and Charles Curd, father of Benjamin S. Curd, founded Murray now the county seat of Calloway County.
Charles P. Curd, after his study of the Curd family, said in correspondence to Wm. B. Curd: "The name is indelibly associated with the great old commonwealth. There is no name in the pioneer history of America earlier or more honorable than that of Curd. The more I investigate it the prounder I become of it. It is a family of which we can all be proud, and one in whose sory I have never discovered anything that is not indicative of honorable, useful, andhigh-toned living.
When records cannot be found, and when the hisory of a family has merely been remembered from generation to generation, it is no wonder that difficulties arise. The Curd family is very unfortunate to have settled in Virginia because records of that state are very few compared to those of the New England states. Virginia was ravaged by early wars when court houses were pillaged or burnt and records lost. The records that have been accessible have been searched and references to sources of information have been made in this genealogy. Probably all prsons of the name of Curd are related, but there are a few Curds that cannot be connected to those records because of missing links in the family history. There was living in Virginia at the time of Thomas S. Curd, or earlier, an Edward Curd. I find him mentioned as early as 1705. On page 210 in the "Virginia Magazine of History", Volume 28, there is this entry, "Rent Rolls Henrico Co., April 1705 Curd, Edwd. 600 acres". Also in "Moore's Hisory of Henrico Co.", Parish, Richmond, Virginia., an Edward Curd, Sr. vestryman in 1741 is mentioned. If he was called Edward Curd Sr., evidently he had a son Edward.
It is of interest to quote from a letter to William B. Curd of Hannibal, Missouri from Thomas H.S. Curd of the firm "Anderson, Strother, Hughes & Curd," Attoryneys and Counsellors at Law, Welch, West Virginia. The letter is dated May 15, 1915. (The reference is entered separately.)

Author: William B. Curd and Lucy Price Rayne Truog
Publication: Madison, Wisconsin, November 1927
Note:
The family of CURD is of Scotch origin, to the manor born. (1-From letter of Thomas H.S. CURD.) The name is not a common one. Like many surnames it probably found its origins from eatables (2-Bowditch's--Suffolk Surnames),however, other authorities say the name, CURD, may have been derived from the German Kurde (3-Barber--British family names.). It is thought the Curds are descended from the house of the Duke of Argyle (4-From Thomas H.S. CURD). They have been traced back to Glasgow and Edinburg, Scotland. The first known ancestor, Joseph Curd, was born in the Lowther Hills and was a member of the McLeod Clan of Scotch Highlanders. Janet BAIN or BAYNE), his wife, was a Highland woman. (The McLeon Plaid is yellow and black with a thin red line through(5-Book of Scotch Plaids).
As far as I know, no one has written about the Curd family with the exception of Benjamin S. Curd, now deceased, of Morley, Mo. (6-In 1915 he had privately printed only 50 copies of a pamphlet on the Curd Family. He gave many copies to relatives in Missouri, Kentucky, Texas, California, Oklahoma.). He privately printed a pamphlet on the Curd family, which consisted of only a few pages. Charles Paine Curd, now deceased, made a study of the family, but he made no effort to find collateral branches. His entire research was backward in the direction of the fountain head. It was he who traced the family back to Joseph Curd of Scotland.
Charles Paine Curd said that in this country all the Curds, without exception, trace back to Thomas S. Curd of Goochland Court House, Goochland County, Virginia. From Virginia many by the name of Curd migrated to Kentucky, and later to the more western states. The history of Kentucky is wrapped up with members of the Curd family and, while the name has never been heralded in books, the most incidental reading of the records will disclose their usefulness and high character. Several Kentucky towns have their origins placed to the Curd family. Charles Curd, brother of Thomas "Curd, was one of the first settlers of Louisville. He was the original owner of a lot on Main Street in that city, adjoining one owned by Squired Boone, brother of Daniel Boone. The official record in the court house gives Daniel Curd credit of being the founder of Glasgow, and he probably named it after the place which had formerly been the home of his ancestors. Newton Curd founded Curdsville. Edmond Curd, grandfather of Benjamin S. Curd, founded Wardsborough, once the county seat of Calloway County, and Charles Curd, father of Benjamin S. Curd, founded Murray now the county seat of Calloway County.
Charles P. Curd, after his study of the Curd family, said in correspondence to Wm. B. Curd: "The name is indelibly associated with the great old commonwealth. There is no name in the pioneer history of America earlier or more honorable than that of Curd. The more I investigate it the prounder I become of it. It is a family of which we can all be proud, and one in whose sory I have never discovered anything that is not indicative of honorable, useful, andhigh-toned living.
When records cannot be found, and when the hisory of a family has merely been remembered from generation to generation, it is no wonder that difficulties arise. The Curd family is very unfortunate to have settled in Virginia because records of that state are very few compared to those of the New England states. Virginia was ravaged by early wars when court houses were pillaged or burnt and records lost. The records that have been accessible have been searched and references to sources of information have been made in this genealogy. Probably all prsons of the name of Curd are related, but there are a few Curds that cannot be connected to those records because of missing links in the family history. There was living in Virginia at the time of Thomas S. Curd, or earlier, an Edward Curd. I find him mentioned as early as 1705. On page 210 in the "Virginia Magazine of History", Volume 28, there is this entry, "Rent Rolls Henrico Co., April 1705 Curd, Edwd. 600 acres". Also in "Moore's Hisory of Henrico Co.", Parish, Richmond, Virginia., an Edward Curd, Sr. vestryman in 1741 is mentioned. If he was called Edward Curd Sr., evidently he had a son Edward.
It is of interest to quote from a letter to William B. Curd of Hannibal, Missouri from Thomas H.S. Curd of the firm "Anderson, Strother, Hughes & Curd," Attoryneys and Counsellors at Law, Welch, West Virginia. The letter is dated May 15, 1915. (The reference is entered separately.)

DR. THOMAS S. CURD (Joseph) b. 1669 in Scotland, m. Kathleen Price (1) of Edinburg, Scotland. They with several children and possibly one or two brothers emigrated to America. One of these brothers may have been Charles Curd. They emigrated from Scotland in about 1720 in the ship Slouh Hound, or Sleuth Hound. They landed at Newport News and went up the James River by flat boat, camped on the island in front of Richmond, and from there went to Goochland Court House which, I think is 25 miles, and settled there. This is the present Albemarle County, Virginia, which was formerly a part of Goochland County. Albemarle County was established in September, 1744. The County of Goochland was formed in 1727. Plantations were for the most part opened on the water courses, extending along the banks of the James and on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries. (2) All the Curds seem to trace back to Thomas S. Curd of Goochland Court House. Thomas S. Curd and his son, John, were both prominent men in Virginia during the administration of Patrick Henry.

Text: Dr. Thomas S. CURD was born in Scotland in 1669. He married Kathleen PRICE (1--The PRICE family is an ancient one from Wales, and said to have been very clannish. They are thought to have been allied or related to Oliver Cromwell.) of Edinburg, Scotland. They were several children and possibly one or two brothers imigrated to America. One of these brothers may have been Charles CURD.
The original group (Dr. Thomas S. CURD, Kathleen PRICE (wife of Thomas), Joseph CURD and perhaps one or two of his brothers) sailed to America around 1720 on board the ship Sleuth Hound or Slouh Hound. They landed at Newport News and went up the James River by flat boat. They camped on the island in front of Richmond, Virginia which is supposed to be about 25 miles. They traveled from there to Goochland Court House and settled them. This is in present day Albermarle County, Virginia.
Albermarle County, Virginia was formerly a part of Goochland County, Virginia. Albermarle County, Virginia was established in September, 1744. The County of Goochland was formed in 1727. Plantations were for the most part opened on the water courses, extending along the banks of the James River and on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries (2--Woods, Rev. Edgar in the "History of Albemarle County, Virginia", printed in Charlottsville, Virginia 1901.
All the Curds seem to trace back to Thomas S. CURD of Goochland Court House.
Dr. Thomas S. CURD and his son, John CURD, were prominent men in Virginia during the administration of Patrick Henry. John CURD served as Patrick HENRY's emissary on many official missions (mainly to the backwoods). He was sent by the governor many times to Kentucky on official business. John CURD was in Harrodsburg in the days of Daniel BOONE. The Virginia legislature ceeded him John CURD 600 acres of land in Kentucky for services rendered.
It is not certain how many children Thomas S. CURD and Kathleen PRICE CURD had. From Strother M. COOK of Burgin, Mercer County, Kentucky, is where the list of five sons (Isaac, John, Joseph, James, and Edmund) and one daughter (Mary) is obtained.
John C. UNDERWOOD of Convington, Kentucky, seems to have searched thoroughly in the Archives in the Goochland County Court House and also extracts he had from the Doughlass Register of the Parish embracing that (Goochland) and part of Louisa Counties (1--From "Meads Old Families and Churches", Mr. Douglass officiated at Dover Beaver Dam and Licking Hole.)
He says, "The information I have was obtained from personal examination of the above sources and every thing I give you is authemtic and has been verified by myself." The list of children of Thomas S. CURD and Kathleen PRICE CURD, which Mr. UNDERWOOD gives, includes all that Mr. COOK gave but adds several to the list, making either twelve or thirteen children, seven sons and five or six daughters.
Mr. Charles Paine CURD of St. Louis, Missouri had the list the same as Mr. UNDERWOOD, but did not have the last two of Lucy and Nancy CURD.
The original group (Dr. Thomas S. CURD, Kathleen PRICE (wife of Thomas), Joseph CURD and perhaps one or two of his brothers) sailed to America around 1700 on board the ship Sleuth Hound.
