PREFACE

In giving this book to the public the compiler realizes how in-
complete it is in many respects, but as it is the first attempt to publish
a genealogy of this family, he trusts the reader will pardon its short-
comings. 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.

THE PROBABLE ENGLISH ANCESTRY OF THE CURTISS
FAMILY OF STRATFORD, CONN.

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.

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

number of the faithful into this country." " 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.

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. The numbers and initials
on the left are the reference numbers to those records.
