  • Notes 
    • We know that Mary married an Erwin from her father's will. According to the "History of Monore Co., WV," they were one of three Curry families who moved to that county who were children of Dr. Robert Curry. (CL-468) I can see two possibilities for her husband's first name. I personally conjectured that she is the Mary Curry that married Samuel Erwin in 1770 and had two sons. They lived in the Shenandoah Valley where Samuel died. Mary and her sons moved to Ohio afterwards. (CL-323, 468)

      The second theory is presented by Paul Glick in a family history in Wanesboro Library. In it, he repeats info from the "History of Pocahantas West Virginia" by Price which states that an Edward Ervine IV, b. 1790 was the husband of a Mary Curry (gr.daughter to Dr. Robert Curry), he was the son of a Mary Curry (daughter to Dr. Robert Curry) and his grandmother was the sister to Dr. Robert Curry. Paul Glick further theorizes that Edward Ervine III, has to have married Mary Curry, d. of Dr. Robert Curry for all of these facts to be true. I personally don't see where he gets his final conclusion, but am considering it. In any case, this source is suggesting that Mary and this unknown Erwin were first cousins by the relationships it gives. (CL-490)

      Then to complicate matters even further, according to one researcher named Freeman, Robert Curry possibly had two daughters named Mary. We know from her grandfather's will, Andrew McCombe, that he definitely had a daughter Mary by Elizabeth McCombe. Freeman believes he has a second daughter named Mary by wife Anne.
