The Delahorne/Curtis Family History

Curtis

✧ Died young

♂Junia Curtis

Born 1795, Chesterfield, Hampshire, Massachusetts, United States. Died 1809, Earlville, Chenango, New York, United States.

Junia Curtis (10 February 1795 – 16 September 1809) was a son of Jeremiah Curtis (1770–1810) and Mary Morton (1768–1816) who died at Earlville, New York, at the age of fourteen. He was the younger brother of Waterman Curtis (1793–1859), the great-great-grandfather of Frederic Roger Curtis (1928–2007).

Junia was born at Chesterfield, Massachusetts, the third child of a couple married there in 1790; their first child, John, had died in 1792 at eleven days old. A published history of Chesterfield families records that the family was given a church letter to Norwich, Chenango County, New York, in January 1801, and it was in that part of New York that Junia spent the rest of his short life. He died on 16 September 1809 and was buried in Earlville Cemetery. His headstone, which still stands, reads: “In Memory of Junia, Son of Mr Jeremiah & Mrs Mary Curtis, [who] Died the 16th of Sept. AD 1809, Aged 14 Years 7 Months & 6 Days.” The stone is one of the few surviving records that names his parents together, and the age it gives leads back to his recorded birth date to the day. His younger brother Truman (1804–1885) and a sister, Electa (1811–1888), grew to adulthood.

Notes

The family tree holds two other men of the same name: Junia Curtis (1774–1831), a brother of Jeremiah, and Junia Curtis (born about 1841), a son of Waterman. They are different people.
