1. | John Leman CURRY was born about 1791 in North Carolina (son of James Nicholas CURRY and Sarah BLACK); died in 1846 in Franklin, Alabama, United States. Notes:
In 1850 in Franklin County Alabama, two Curry families lived across the road from one another—William Curry, born c1790, and Francis Curry, born c1791. Both men were born in North Carolina; both were farmers with large families. I think that they may have been brothers. I believe that our ancestor, Lucinda Francis “Fannie” Curry, is the nine-year old daughter of Francis and Sarah Curry.
Although Fannie had three sisters, she had only one brother, Lewis Curry, born c1832 in North Carolina.
William and Francis Curry, their wives, and some of their oldest children were born in North Carolina. Using birth information from the 1850 Census, we can surmise that the Curry brothers and their families migrated from North Carolina to Franklin County Alabama between 1833 to 1837.
