THE FAMILY OF HENRY CURTIS OF SUDBURY,
MASS.

1. Henrt^ Curtis came to New England in 1635, aged 27 years,
iu the Elizabeth and Ann, and settled at Watertown, Mass., where he was
a proprietor in 1636, later removing to Sudbury, Mass., where he was a
proprietor in 1639. In deeds he is styled "wheelwright."
He married, probably in Watertown, about 1640, Mary, daughter of
Nicholas Guy of Upton Gray, co. Southampton, England, who had come
to New England in 1638, in the Oonfidence, and settled at Watertown.
The will of Joan Parker of St. Saviour's, Southwark, co. Surrey, Eng
land, dated 24 Aug., 1674, proved the following year, gives to her " brother
Henry Curtis of Sundbury in New England," and to his wife, and his three
sons, Ephraim, John, and Joseph, 20 shillings each. (Register, vol.
xxxii, page 337.)
In Dec, 1668, in a lawsuit concerning property stolen from Henry^
Curtis, there are depositions of his sons, Ephraim aged 26, John aged 24,
and Joseph aged 21, and of Richard Wills aged 20, servant of Ephraim.
(Middlesex Co. Court files.)
Henry Curtis died in Sudbury, 8 May, 1678 ; and his widow, Mary, died
there, 3 Dec, 1682 ; administration of their estates being given to the son
Joseph.^ (Middlesex Co. Probate, Nos. 3724, 3731.)
Children, born in Sudbury :
i. Lieut. Ephkaim,' b. 3! Mar., 1642; active in King Philip's War;
d. before May, 1684, when a committee reported to the General
Court that his Worcester property was belonging to his heirs and
assigns (Coll. of Worcester Soc. of Antiquity, vol. 3, page 39).
There is no probate record of him, nor any mention of a wife or
family, and as his property appeared later in the estate of his
sole surviving brother, Joseph,^ it would indicate that he was
unmarried. The final adjustment of the trouble whicli followed
his purchase of the Noyes land at Worcester gave him 50 acres
of land within, and 250 acres without, that town. (Mass. Colony
Records, vol. v, page 10.) Bodge says of him : " Ephraim Curtis
was an important personage in the negotiations at this time
[1675] and in the subsequent events. He was . . . about
thirty-three years old at this time, a notable scout and hunter, well
versed in Indian ways, and intimately acquainted with many of
these tribes. He was also a trader, and had a house at Quan-
sigamug (Worcester)." (Soldiers in King Philip's War, pages
104-105.)
