General Notes: Husband - Dr. Joseph Curry


He was educated as a physician. In 1804, in company with the progenitors of many of the old families of Washington and Allegheny counties, Pennsylvania, such as the Finleys, Campbells, Hindmans, McClellans, etc., he came to western Pennsylvania, and purchased a large tract of land near Pittsburgh, at what became Curry Station, Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. There for a period of sixty years he carried on an extensive medical practice, covering a circuit of many miles. He also conducted large farming operations, together with other industries, such as gristmills, sawmills, distilleries, etc., located on his property.
