FAMILY GENEALOGIES - CURTIS, CORTEIS to DYER.

CURTIS, CORTEIS, &c.

An ancient English Family, settled in the Counties of Kent, and Sussex. (See Berry's Genealogies.) Stephen Curtis, was of Appledore, Kent, ab. 1450, and several of his descendants were Mayors of Tenterden, a town from which some of the first settlers of Scituate came. The earlier desc'ts. of this pedigree, are taken from an original pedigree, in the possession of the family, under the hand and seal of office of Sir Wm. Segar, Garter King-of-Arms, transcribed by John Philpot, Blanch Lion, and entitled, "This descent of the auntient familie of the Curteises, in the Co. of Kent, gents., faithfullie collected out of the office of Arms, the public records of the kingdom, private evidences of the familie, and other venerable monuments of antiquitie;" in which pedigree, and also in several old MSS., in the Harleian Coll., in the Brit. Mus., the arms of the family are given as annexed, without reference to any particular grant, but as borne by them in virtue of ancient usage.

William Curtis, came to N. Eng., in the Lion, in 1632, and was of Boston in that year, and afterwards of Rox'y., where his descendants still reside. He was the ancestor of Geo. T., and Benj. R, Esq'rs., of Boston.

Richard, William, and John Curtis, were of Scit., in 1643, and Thos., in 1649, who was of York, Me., and who returned there. John left no descendants on record. A few of the desc'ts. of Thos., are in Scit., and elsewhere; and more of the desc'ts. of Richard. The desc'ts. of Wm., are quite numerous, in Scit., Hanover, and other towns in Mass. These are here given.
