• Notes

  The surname Curry means "marsh" or "boat" and first applied to Scotchman who lived in a place of that name in the Marsh at Midlothian, Scotland. (CL-391) The birthdates and birth order for his children literally are not consistent in the sources I've seen and could be completely wrong. The following record from Chaukley applies to this William. 1748-49, March 10th--William Curry, 200, near John Young, Thos. Waterson, Naked Creek (c. g. e. p.). According to "Early Settlers of Virginia", this purchase belonged to this William Sr. who was married to Sarah Young. Chaukley's, Vol. 1 entry might also apply. Christian vs. Curry.--William Curry (near Staunton) to Israel Christian, debtor. 1769, July 2; 1761, item by son, William; 1763, 24th February; 1766, to your account at the Stone House with Walter Stewart. Sworn to, 29th December, 1766. It is also stated in WeRelate on Wiki, that he not only purchased this land, but that he was an early settler of Augusta Co., VA. His wife Sarah Young is listed as the daughter of John and Annie Houston Young of Ireland. He is the first common ancestor I have with kkstubbs38 who descends through Sir Robert and his daughter, Jane (Jenny) Curry appearing to be born about 1712. This cousin is a half cousin meaning that one of us does NOT descend through Lady Sarah but through a different wife instead. I have a second cousin who descends through John Curry, b. 1730 instead who is a half cousin. This now suggests, Sir Robert William had 3 wives. We don't know which of his children belong to whom or his 3rd wife's name. I have now proven through my mother's autosomal DNA that William is our ancestor through triangulations with 3 other cousins all descended from William with shared DNA on chrome 3 from 147375568 168273670 via MyHeritage with 16.5 cM's in common on average. This is a great deal of DNA shared suggesting this family had a lot of wealth and intermarried in Europe in particular.
