Notes |
- The following is excerpted from Louise's synopsis of family information:
Edward Curry was first mentioned in the 1861 Green Island Directory. He was a furnaceman, teamster, and soldier of fortune. It is reported that he fought in the Crimean War on the side of the Turks against Russia. Later he left his family and went to California, and is not listed among the residents of Green Island after 1872. In 1874 Ann Curry is listed as a widow, and she probably remarried shortly after that. A story passed down in the family is that Edward's son, Tom, and his stepfather didn't get along, so one day 17-year-old Tom punched him in the nose and moved out.
