General Notes: Husband - John Curry

---

He was born in Ireland, was a Scotch-Irish Presbyterian, and was nine years of age when he came to America. The family settled in Chester County, Pennsylvania. After he grew up, he went to Pittsburgh and worked as a foreman in a rolling-mill. He later moved to Moon township, Allegheny County, and purchased a farm. He died at the age of fifty-two years.

He and Mrs. Douglas were married and together moved to Moon township,
Allegheny County, in the western part of Pennsylvania at a time when the Indians and wild animals of many sorts were common. In what was then a wilderness, he bought a farm of one hundred and ten acres, which he cleared of the wild growth and built upon it a log house and barn, the house having a puncheon floor. Here the two passed the remainder of their lives. He and his wife were both members of the Presbyterian Church in which belief they reared their family of children.

He and his wife had six children; three lived to maturity.

It is not clear that he was married twice - the two wives presented here may represent the same person.
