Notes for John Curtis and Anne Revell

"Anne Revell, wife to John Curtis of Foard [Ford] in com Derby, gentleman, had issue Thomas." Anne was the fourth daughter of Robert and Anne Knolles Revell, and was a grand daughter of John Revell and Margaret Beyghton, according to a pedigree signed by her brother, William. [1]

1627 Anne Revell, daughter of Robert Revell, gent[leman], was baptized at Morton, Derbyshire, England on December 9, 1627. [2] [3] [4]

1635 John Curtis, son of Tho Curtis, was baptized on September 8, at North Wingfield parish, Derbyshire, England. [5] [6] [7]

1656 Anne was mentioned in the will of her uncle John Revell of Higham esq: Monetary bequests to ... children of John's deceased brother Robert's daughters Dorothy Curtise and Alice Strelley, to Robert's daughters Anne and Elizabeth Revell … Dated November 11. [8]

1658 "The Curtis family were yeoman farmers, but the date of their arrival in the area is unknown. The last of the family to live at Ford appears to have been John Curtis who married Anne Revell, sister of William Revell of Ogston, in 1658, and held the office of constable of the manor of Stretton (in which Ford was situated) in 1663. Like others of his family John Curtis subsequently became a Quaker, and this was the reason why he left Ford. The latter part of the 17th century was a time of religious persecution for non-conformists, and a number of local Quakers -- notably Thomas Revell of Chesterfield (a relation of the Revells of Ogston) -- decided to emigrate to America and start a new life free from the constraints of religious bigotry. About the year 1680, therefore, John Curtis sold Ford to George Holland of Swathwick (near Wingerworth) and he and his wife left England for New Jersey where the other Quakers had settled. John and Anne Curtis established themselves on the Ogston Plantation (formerly known as Pleasant Hill or Mount Pleasant), near Georgetown, and John’s name appears among those of guests attending the wedding of his friend Thomas Revell’s daughter Anne to Joseph White in 1694. Thomas Revell was one of the witnesses of John Curtis’ Will in 1695/6. It is pleasant to record that the Curtis family -- direct descendants of John and Anne Curtis -- are today flourishing in the United States. The Curtis family home was the house known as Old Ford House (plate 4), which was situated just to the north of Ford House and within its grounds. The house faced south on to a small open courtyard: it was stone tiled, had mullioned windows and was probably built by Thomas Curtis in the first half of the 17th century." [9]

1659 Mris. Anne Revell and Mr. John Curtis married at Morton, on February 3, 1658/59. [10] [11] [12]. "Indeed, during those years the only wedding at Morton was: 1658, 3 Feb. - Mr. John Curtis and Mrs. Ann Revell, a man of some repute and who lived at the Ford." [13] [14]

"John and Ann Curtis resided in North Wingfield parish, four and one-half miles southeast of Chesterfield, Derbyshire, according to the register of the Chesterfield Monthly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends." [15]

"Joseph Curtis, father of Elizabeth (Curtis) Kirkbride, was a son of Thomas Curtis, of Ogston, Burlington county, and his wife, Elizabeth Ellis, married at Chesterfield, November 21, 1694 ; grandson of John Curtis, one of the earliest English settlers in West Jersey, owning one-fifteenth of a Proprietary right in the Province, and serving as a member of Assembly in 1682-83-84-85, and holding commission as a Justice in 1690, and until his death in 1695." [118]

Parish Records of North Wingfield, Derbyshire, England name Fowler, Curtis, Clay, and Hill families, potential ancestors of John Curtis. [119]

One history of the Revell family offers circumstantial evidence that John Curtis's wife Anne was Anne Revell, sister of Captain Edward Revel, but confuses his family with that of Thomas Curtis, woolen draper friend of George Fox. [120]

This Curtis family of Derbyshire is different from the Curtis family of Bugbrook [121], as shown by published documentation and lack of dna match among male Curtis descendants from these two lines. The relationship to Thomas Curtis, woolen draper of Reading and friend of George Fox, if any, is unknown.

1680 Captain John Curtis of Hempstead, Long Island and John Curtis of Newark, Essex County, New Jersey are apparently unrelated to this Curtis family. [122] [123] [124]

Is John Curtis with wife Hannah living in Newark near John Brown in 1696 related to this John Curtis? [125] [126]
