I don't have any additional information on the Hays since beyond Ann they are not blood relatives. However, these families were certainly connected. James Curtain's sister Elizabeth married Bernard Dougherty. My guess is that Bernard and the William you mention were brothers? I have not been able to determine if Bernard and Elizabeth ever had children. It seems that Bernard died within 10 years of the marriage.

I am researching the Hay family. Around 1795 Ann became guardian of a William Hay ,son of William Hay,. James Curtain is also mentioned. I'm looking for parents of Ann Hay. I'm not sure if this family was from Pennsylvania or maybe Maryland.
1794 in the records of Zion German Lutheran Church, Baltimore, William Hay had a son he named William Daugherty Hay. The sponsor was William Daugherty.

sorry i meant to say i think that james jr. was born around 1780 (probably a few years before) rather than married then!

Re: James Curtain of Baltimore

JMK57 — 2010-07-28 18:50:06Z

Yes, I'm virtually certain that the James, married to Ann Hay, that you mention is the son of my James Curtain who was born in 1740. James Jr. I think was married around 1780. I am descended from James Curtain Sr.'s daughter Mary who married Lewis Shackelford in 1806. There were also siblings of Mary named Thomas and Elizabeth (Dougherty). James Sr. was a butcher as were his sons James and Thomas. I've hoped to discover more about James Sr. such as his wife's surname (Mary unknown) who I believe he married in Baltimore as well as his point of origin. Thanks for your posting. Are you related to James and Ann Hay?

Re: James Curtain of Baltimore

Marylyn52 — 2010-07-24 21:26:37Z

A James Curtain JR. married Ann Hay abt 1799 and lived in Baltimore County,Maryland.

If your Curtin ancestry is from Brosna, Co Kerry or the Rockchapel, Co Cork, area and over to Mt Collins, Co Limerick, then your line most probably is covered by Curtin Books 1, 2 and 3. These books are heavy, large, bound with soft covers and have stories on Curtin and related families in these areas.

They had 3 children Mary Elizabeth Curtain who married John William Hubbs, William Curtain who married Elizabeth Hoodenpyle and Amy Cela Curtain who married Alvin Kenneth Duckworth. William is my gggrandfather. I have him in Dent County on the 1860 Census living with Patrick and Catherine Curtian. The last census I can find him on is the 1880 Current,Dent County census.

Pam - please email me privately and quote the file number.

I have this Curtin line in my File 26.
William was in Missouri in 1860, unmarried. We dont know where in Ireland he is from but the Curtin Clan DNA project shows the origins of the line to be in the area of Ireland where Counties Kerry, Cork and Limerick meet. (a Curtin descendant of this line has taken part in our DNA project). Are you in the Curtin section or the Inman section?

He was 45 yr. That's it. I am having a hard time finding any info on him. Where he lived in Ireland, his parents, when he came here, where he was until 1866.

other Demographics: They were from Tralee (Kerry)
they were protestant(church of ireland?)
Frances was born approx 1894.
She left Ireland and came to Boston, suffolk county-- guessing around 1912. Not positive if married in ireland or boston? I think it was Ireland.
Timothy j. Curtain must be around the same age.
They are listed in the 1920 Fed US census in MA.

Please let me know of any leads. thank you, Helen

kathleenbowen — 2005-07-29 16:44:39Z

I am NOT researching Scannell or CURTAIN (or any names listed here); this obit was on the same page as another for a friend. I expecially like it because it gives the place of birth in Ireland for the deceased as well as his wife's maiden name - which is somewhat rare:

The Chicago Daily Tribune, April 3, 1950,. page C6:
"Death Notices...
SCANNELL--Jeremiah J. Scannell, beloved husband of Margaret, nee Ahern; fond father of Mary Gruber, Officer James R., Margaret Mancatch [Moncatch?], Jeremiah J., and Eamon J.; grandfather of three; brother of John, Patrick, Michael, Ned, Richard, Joseph, Ann Curtin, and Margaret.

James Curtain of Baltimore

JohnMKennedy195 — 2002-04-10 21:03:39Z

I'm seeking information about James Curtain of Baltimore. He was born around 1740 and died 1802. He lived near Fells Point and had 5 or 6 children. At the time of his death he had been in America for 27 years, so he arrived around 1775. I believe that he was a Protestant rather than Catholic, since there are records for his family in St. Paul's Protestant Episcopal church registry. Any connections?
