Notes:

Burial:
His grave has not been found in Prince Edward County.

Family history:
"The family story, passed down over the generations, is that Robert Emmet Curlette was a descendant of the Hugenouts of France." His ancestors "are said to have fled to Ireland. It is not clear at this time exactly when this happened or which route they took. The handed down story in the North American branch of the family is that they first went to Scotland, but left there for Ireland when the Protestants were persecuted in Scotland in the late 1600's."

Family history:
"The story in the current Irish branch of the Curlett family, one of whom we have contacted, is that 3 Curlett brothers came to Ireland from England (likely the Isle of Man) with Oliver Cromwell in 1649, or slightly later, as part of the British policy of settling Englishmen (Protestants) on the lands of the dispossessed Irish (Catholics). The 3 brothers are said to have settled in the County of Down in the villages of Inch/Downpatrick, Kilmegan/Dundrum and Kilkeel respectively. A review of birth, baptism and marriage rrecords for the period 1790-1870 (the earliest ones available) for Curlett in Ireland shows three clusters of Curletts around those 3 locations during that period. The earliest records of a Curlett in Ireland [that] we have found to date are of 2 marriages in 1720 in the Inch/Downpatrict area. Thus, the circumstantial evidence supports the Irish branch version."

Family history:
"The passed down story in his Canadian descendants is that Robert Emmet Curlett was from the Inch/Downpatrick area of Ireland. The story is told that in 1798 he joined his cousin, Robert Emmet, in the Irish Rebellion of that year against the British. The rebellion failed because the promised French support did not materialize. Robert Emmet, the cousin, was captured by the British and hung as a traitor. Robert Emmet Curlett, along with others, excaped and hid in the coastal caves east of Belfast until they could board a ship out of the country. Several of the excapees, it is said, including Robert Emmet Curlett, after landing in New York, came to the United Empire Loyalist stronghold around Belleville, Ontario. That is the story of how Robert Emmet Curlett came to North America."

Land:
Robert did not own land in the area of Green Point either in his name or his wife's name. He may have been a tenant on land belonging to his father-in-law, John Trumpour.

Immigration:
"Why Robert E. Curlett, with his alleged history of anti-British activity, came to a Loyalist stronghold in Upper Canada is not clear. One explanation is that others in his group had family or friends in the Belleville area. It is alleged that one of his travelling companions was a Mr. Wilson, who had descendants who became leaders in Belleville politics."

Military:
He "took part in the Emmett Rebellion in 1798, and had he been caught by the British Government, his fate would have been the same as that of Robert Emmett, who was his cousin, who was executed for his participation in this Rebellion".

Immigration:
He settled in the Green Point area.

Military:
"The story passed down through the generations is that Robert Emmet Curlett decided to fight on the American side during the War of 1812 and was killed at the Battle of Queenston Heights in February 1812. To date, we have not been able to verify this story and have been unable to find any record of his death."

Occupation:
"It is said (in a family letter, written in 1932 by Grace Curlette Hyman, then aged 77) that, during the period 1807-1812, he operated a legal distillery on lot 44, Concession 2, SW of Green Point. A review of the Prince Edward County land title records shows that all 93 acres of lot 44 were owned by Robert's father-in-law, John Trompour, during that period, so that could be true. We found no record of Robert Emmet Curlett owning any land in Prince Edward County."

Robert married Christina TRUMPOUR about 1807 in Sophiasburgh Township, Prince Edward County, Ontario, Canada. Christina (daughter of John (Johannes, Hans, Haunts) TRUMPOUR and Elizabeth B?HR) was born in 1785; died in 1839 in Sophiasburgh Township, Prince Edward County, Upper Canada, Canada.
