Thank you so much to all of you who have replied with details on Cornelius Curtis. I am descended through Cornelius' son Joseph. From the information you have all given me, I am fairly certain that John and Elizabeth Curtis were Cornelius' parents, so I will proceed along that path. Old papers passed to me by my paternal grandfather gave a date of birth of 27 May 1793, but I have not ever been able to verify that, so I guess that I will just have to be satisfied with the correct year of birth. Thank you everyone again. I am totally overwhelmed with all the replies I received.
Kind Regards,
Susan
