• Notes

  He left Nazing for New England in 1632 on the Lion ship to Boston. (souce: The Abridged Compendium of American Genealogy Vol. 5 pg. 145 First Families of America: Medford, OR library 10/9/01. Then to Roxbury, MA. His name in 1637 appears upon the assessment list levied upon well-to-do inhabitants of Nazing--this assessment being known as the tax called ship money. He and his wife and their two youngest sons (William and Thomas) left Nazing between 1637 and 1639. John Jr. had gone in 1635 and his nephew William Curtis had gone in 1632. Central Library, 10/9/92, copied from book "Directory of the Heads of New England Families" 1620-1700 by Frank R. Holmes, pg. 1xi, 1xii. "John Curtis or Curtice, from County of Sussex, England; on the list of inhabitanta at Roxbury, Mass., 1638, was at Wethersfield, Mass. 1639; his widow Elizabeth removed to Stratford, Conn. with her two sons, John and William. Thomas, an early settler of Wethersfield, Conn., before 1639, removed to Wallingford, Conn. 1670. William came to Roxbury, Mass. 1632." NOTE John and Elizabeth, with their three sons, left Nazing for New England after 1637. They came to Roxbury, Massachusetts. In 1639 After John's death, Elizabeth and her sons settled in Stratford, Connecticut. She was known as Widow Elizabeth. I (Nancy Horne) have the Curtiss Genealogy in my genealogy bookcase.
