The data contained herein have been gathered almost en- tirely from original sources such as town, church, land, and private records. The compiler wishes to take this opportunity to thank the many persons who have assisted him in preparing this work. His thanks are especially due to Mr. George M. Curtis of Meriden, Conn., who has placed in his hands a mass of data, comprising the work of many years, and to whom he is indebted for almost all of the data relating to the Wallingford, Conn., branch of this family. The compiler of this book will be glad to receive corrections or additional data from any member of this family, and if another edition of this genealogy is published at a later date, such corrections will be made and all additional material will be used.

There came to New England in the ship " Lyon," which sailed from London, June 22, 1632, William Curtiss and Thomas UfFord, both natives of Nazing, Essex County, England. Landing at Boston, N.E., on Sunday, Sept. 16, 1632, they proceeded to Roxbury, where John Eliot, the " Apostle to the Indians," who yvas the brother-in-law of William Curtiss, had settled the previous year. In the ship " Lyon," ' so Mr. Winthrop tells us, there came one hundred and twenty-three passengers, of whom fifty were children. These persons were all of the better class, were well educated and possessed a certain degree of wealth that enabled them to live in the enjoyment of comforts. On the records of Nazing, England,^ we find that William Curtiss was baptized Nov. 12, 1592, and married Sarah, daughter of Bennett Eliot, of Nazing, Aug. 6, 16 18. The baptisms of his several children also appear on these records. William Curtiss died in Roxbury, N. E., Dec. 8, 1672, aged 81 years, and Sarah his widow, March 20, 1673, aged 73 years.' Most of the historians have supposed this William Curtiss to have been the husband of widow Elizabeth Curtiss, of Strat- ford, Conn., but my researches have led me to believe he was brother of her husband, who was John Curtiss. The Nazing records also show the following entries : John Curtis, baptized Sept. 15, 1577. John Curtyce married Elizabeth Hutchins, April 19, i6io;and the following baptisms, supposedly those of their children : John Curtis, Feb. 26, 1614-15; William Curtis, June 21, 1618 ; and Thomas Curtis, March 12, 1619-20. John Curtis, aged 21, sailed with Thomas Heath, aged 23, in the ship "Safety," Aug. 10, 1635. This may have been the above son, as the name of Heath is found both in Nazing and in Roxbury. * " The Curtiss Family," by Stiles H. Curtiss, A. M. N. E. Genealogical and Historical Register, July, 1889. ' " Memorials of the Pilgrim Fathers of Nazing," by W. Winter. Waltham Abbey, 1882. ^ Page XXX. (vii) vj John Curtis' of London, England, had his coat of arms confirmed May 9, 1632, just forty-two days before William of Roxbury sailed for New England. In the visitation of London, in 1633, his name does not appear. In " A Note of ye Estates and Persons of the In- habitants of Rocksbury," ^ 1638-40, appears the name of John Corteis, having fifteen acres of land and with five persons in his family. No further mention of this family appears on the Roxbury records, but in 1639 a John Curtis' was a resident of Wethersfield, Conn., and owned land in that town on what was then called " The North Road to the Great Meadow." Thomas Ufford, who left Roxbury in 1635, with William Pynchon, we also find in Wethersfield at this time. Rev. Thomas Hooker, the famous divine of Hartford, was a native of Morfield, Leicestershire, England. He was a Fellow of Emmanuel College about the same time as John Eliot, and Eliot assisted him in his school at Little Baddow, Essex. Through persecution Hooker left England and sought refuge in Holland. After a while he heard that some of his Essex friends were going to New England, and he speedily united with them and sailed in the " Griffin " from Downs in 1633. It is therefore probable that when he settled in Hartford many of the Roxbury people, natives of Essex, joined him there. John Curtis left Wethersfield in 1640 for Cuphag (Stratford), and his name disappears, but we find the name of widow Elizabeth Curtiss and her two sons on the earliest records of Stratford. It is therefore probable that the father died soon after arriving at Stratford, or on the journey. Thomas Ufford left Wethersfield at about the same time and went to Milford, but a few years later we find him in Stratford where he, with his family, spent the remainder of his life. There has been a tradition in Stratford that the Ufford and Booth families had inter- married with the Curtiss before they left England, but this I have been unable to substantiate. Mr. Trumbull ^ in his " History of Connecti- cut," in writing of the settlement of Stratford, says that " Mr. John and Mr. William Curtiss and Mr. Joseph Hawley were from Roxbury, and Mr. William Judson, and Mr. William Wilcoxson from Concord, in Massachusetts." " These were the first principal gentlemen in the town and church of Stratford." " A few years after the settlement com- menced, Mr. John Birdseye removed from Milford and became a man of eminence both in the town and church." " Mr. Adam Blackman who had been episcopally ordained in England, and a preacher of some note, first at Leicester and afterwards in Derbyshire, was their minister and one of the first planters. It is said that he was followed by a * Page xii. 2 Town Records of Roxbury, N. E. ^ ** Memorial History of Hartford County, Conn.,'* page 439. * " Histoiy of Connecticut," by Benjamin Trumbull.

" These doubtless collected about him in the infant settlement." Mr. Blakeman is supposed to have come to Stratford from Wethersfield, and as the house lot of widow Elizabeth Curtiss was near or adjoining that of Mr. Blakeman's, this family may have come to Stratford to be under his ministry. In the will of Elizabeth Curtiss,' John Birdseye, Henry Wakelyn, and Joseph Hawley were appointed overseers. Of these Joseph Hawley came from Roxbury, N. E., and also came to this country in the ship " Planter," in 1635, ^^^^ Adam Blakeman, William Wilcoxson, and William Beardsley. William Curtiss's ^ family furnishes us with further proof of his having come from Wethersfield, Conn., and Nazing. He married for his second wife Sarah, daughter of Matthew Morris,' of Hartford, Conn., and widow of William Goodrich, of Wethersfield, Conn., and two of his daughters married into Wethersfield families — those of Rose and Welles. The latter perhaps was John Welles, son of Gov. Thomas Wells, as on the records John Welles calls John Curtiss uncle. The Curtiss family was from all accounts one of the most prom- inent among the first settlers of Stratford, and it has been claimed that they suggested naming the town Stratford after Stratford-on- Avon,"* England. If this be true it adds another proof towards the acceptance of the pedigree with the coat-of-arms,^ for Makestoke and Hatton were but small hamlets and Stratford-on-Avon was the nearest town of any size. That the name of Curtiss was well known in Shakespeare's town is shown by the fact that that poet used it as one of the characters in " The Taming of the Shrew." William Beards- ley, Thomas Alsop, and Richard Booth are also supposed to have been natives of Stratford-on-Avon, England, and as the Earl of War- wick had letters patent* to that part of Connecticut, it is more than probable that many of the early settlers throughout that colony were from Warwickshire. ' Page I. ' P»§= 3- ^ The name of Morris is found in Nazing, England. * There is also a town near Nazing, and now a part of London, called Stratford-on-Bow, and I have found the name of Curds on tombstones in the parish churchyard of that town. * Page xii. ' See Patent of Connecticut. (ix) THE CURTISS COAT OF ARMS Before going into the subject of the Curtiss coat of arms I feel that it will not be out of place to quote a portion of the report of the Committee on Heraldry of the New England Historic Genealogical Society, regarding the bearing of arms, — " As there is no person and no institution in the United States with authority to regulate the use of coats of arms, your Committee discourages their display in any way or form. " Prior to the Revolution, as subjects of a government recognizing heraldry, certain of the inhabitants were entitled to wear coats of arms ; but only such as were grantees of arms, or who could prove descent in the male line from an ancestor to whom arms were granted or confirmed by the Heralds. " Females did not regularly bear arms, but the daughter of an arms-bearing father could use the paternal coat in a lozenge. When she married, such arms did not descend to her children (except by special authority), unless she were an heiress marrying an armiger, and then only as a quartering of her husband's arms. " The mere fact that an individual possessed a painting of a coat of arms, used it upon plate, or as a bookplate or seal, or had it put upon his grave- stone, is not proof that he had a right to it. "Proof of right must either be found in the Herald's records or be estab- lished by authenticated pedigree direct from an armiger. " A coat of arms did not belong with a family name, but only to the particular family, bearing the name, to whose progenitor it had been granted or confirmed ; and it was as purely individual a piece of property as a homestead. Hence it was as ridiculous to assume arms without being able to prove the right, as it would now be to make use of a representation of the Washington mansion at Mt. Vernon, and claim it as having been the original property of one's family, unless bearing the name of Washington and being of the line of those who owned it." After the above, I hesitated to make any mention of coats of arms in this book, but as I have made a careful research on the subject, I feel that the results of this work may help some future genealogist to learn more of the early history of the Curtiss family. The coat-of-arms on the title page of this book is claimed to be (xi) the one borne by the ancestor of the Stratford, Conn., branch of the Curtiss family. An ancient emblazonment on parchment has been in the possession of this branch of this family beyond any doubt for over one hundred and fifty years and is owned to-day by an elderly lady residing in Bridgeport, Conn. It is claimed this emblazonment was brought over to this country by the first ancestor, but this I have been unable to substantiate. On the reverse side of this parchment certain data relating to the Stratford and Roxbury members of the family have been written, supposedly in the handwriting of Joseph Curtiss, Town Clerk of Stratford, Conn., 1678-1728. The records of the College of Heraldry, in London, Eng., show that this coat-of-arms was confirmed to " John Curtis, of London, Gent., son of William Curtis, of Hatton in the County of Warwick, Gent., son of Eustace Curtiss, of Malestock, in the said County, Gent., son of William who was son and heir of John Curtis, of Malestock aforesaid, Gent., by Sir Richard St. George Clarencieux, the 9th of May, 1632,"' in the 8th year of the reign of King Charles 1., and that this crest was granted at the same time. In the visitation of London, in 1633, the name of John Curtis does not appear, so it is probable that he left for New England soon after having these arms confirmed. For further proof of the above see page viii. The curious description of these arms on the records is as follows : " Azure a fesse dancette between three ducal crowns or," " Crest : A Lyon in his ppr. collets Issuing forth of his Collers Or and Azure supporting in his right pawe a Shield Azure & thereon a fess dancette Or Mantled gules doubled argent." A general search in the archives of the College of Heraldry, London, England, gives the following record of arms borne by persons of the Curtiss, Curtis, etc., name.

Two days previous Isaac Heath, of Ware, collar maker, ap- peared on his oath before the same court. Lyson mentions William Curtis, Commander in the East India Company, who died 1669, and was buried in Stepney churchyard. On his tomb is inscribed the fol- lowing lines : «' Who in this life fifty years did stand. And to East India did bear command ; Who in his lifetime kept not fast his door. And afterwards provided for the poor — Sixty pounds per annum for ever." This same person in 1669 bequeathed to the parish of Lime- house J^6 per annum to apprentice two poor children, and ^^6 once in two years to be divided between twelve paupers of Limehouse, on the alternate years to be appropriated to the redemption of poor captives.^ Thomas Curtis, of London, was " fined xiij li. vis. viii. at the coming in of Queene Mary to the crowne, for not receiving the order of Knighthood," etc. Thomas Curtis was Sheriff of London 30 Henry VIII. In the Additional Manuscripts, British Museum, 'State Papers, Domestic, Charles I., 1634. ' Environs of London. (xix) are several notices of the Curteis family. The name is variously spelt. Richard Curteis, of Tutbury, County Staffordshire, had a son William, who settled at Hanbury in the same county, temp. Ed. II. He had two sons and one daughter — (i) John, of Hanbury, living in the time of Ed. III., (2) Thomas, of the same place, and Matilda, who married (i.) John Hutton, of Tutbury, (ii.) William de Burton." A large family of this name resided for many years at Appledore,"" County Kent. Stephen Curteis had three sons, Richard, John, and Reginald. Richard settled in Newenden, County Kent, and had four daughters : Matilda married a Hamon, of Hurst, Jane married John LeSargent, Isabel married Robert Vincent, and Alice married Robert Scarlet. John (Stephen), the second son, was ofAppledore, County Kent, married Petronill, and had issue : John, Stephen, and Joane. John (John, Stephen) had sons : William, John, and Thomas. William (John, John, Stephen), of Fairfield, temp. Henry VIII., mar- ried Ellen and had issue : Richard. Reginald (Stephen) married Margaret, daughter of Reginald, Lord Cobham, of Starborough Castle, and had issue : Reginald, of Westcliff. Thomas (John, John, Stephen), of Appledore, married Joane, daughter and co-heir of . . . Twaight, and had son William and a daughter. William (Thomas, John, John, Stephen), of Tenterden, County Kent, married first Joane Buntinge. Married second, about 1560, Joane Pattenden, and died 158a. They had issue: William, Thomas, Dorothea, Peter, who married Susan Johnson of Canterbury, Robert, who married first an Everden, and second, Joane Mills, and had issue : George, John, and Mary, who married Michael Symons, and second, Richard Duke, brother of Sir Edward Duke, Stephen, George, and John.^ In Cole's MSS.'» Is an able letter from Dr. Stukeley to Noah Curtis, lord of the manor of Woolstrop, respecting the escape of Charles I. from the Scotch army before Newark, 1646. In the same collection of MSS.,' dated Jan. 31, 1645, '^ ^^ account of a fine of 100 marks for the discharge of the delinquency of Wm. Curtis, of Orwell, County Cambs. Cole states the said William Curtis " went to Oxford, and upon his return thence, being summoned, refused to come to his place of habitation. His estate Is ^40 per annum In lands, whereof part is copyhold, 6 cottages," etc. In another part of the MSS. he is called Wm. Curtis, of Baslngbourn, County Cambs.

William Curtiss was appointed by the General Court one of six commissioners, with the Governor, Deputy Governor, and Assistants as a War Council against the Dutch at New York, "to act as the Grand Committee of the Colony in establishing and commissionating Military Officers, in pressing men, horses, ships, barques or other vessels, arms, ammunition, provisions, carriages, or whatever they judge needful for our defense, and to manage, order and dispose of the Militia of the Colony in the best way and manner they can for our defense and safety." He distin- guished himself for bravery in King Philip's War. October, 1675, upon the report of the Indians being ready at Narragan- sett to attack Connecticut, Capt. William Curtiss was appointed to command those forces raised in Fairfield County, with power to appoint his inferior officers. In 1676 he was a commissioner of both Stratford and Woodbury.
