|
| 302 | "The Redners were of German origin, but their arrival in America pre-dated the more fully explored Palatine settlement of the early 1700s." | REDNER, Henry (I4642)
|
| 303 | "The Redners were part of that mini-migration from Bergen Co. New Jersey in 1791, which also brought the Wannamakers, Babcocks and Johnsons and may have encouraged the arrival of the Brickmans and Wessels too." | REDNER, Henry (I4642)
|
| 304 | "The residents of this section were surprised to learn of the very sudden and unexpected death of Mr. Thomas Sexsmith, one of the oldest and most highly respected men in the township. About a week prior to his death he was stricken with apoplexy but to all appearances recovered. On Friday night after attending to his duties about the barn her retired to his room at the usual time apparently in good health. About 3 a.m. Mrs. Sexsmith was awakened by his heavy breathing and called the other members of the family and at 5 o'clock he passed away without speaking a word. Deceased, who was in his seventy-fifth year, leaves a sorrowing widow and a large family of grown up children to mourn his sad death. His funeral, hwich was held on Tuesday afternoon, was one of the largest seen in the township for a long time. The funeral service was conducted in St. James church, Tweed, by Rev. C. T. Lewis, after which his remains were placed in the vault." | SEXSMITH, Thomas (I16077)
|
| 305 | "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." | CURLETTE, Robert Emmet (I4491)
|
| 306 | "The story is told that when Robert [Curlett] joined the American army his father-in-law, John Trumpour, a dedicated United Empire Loyalist, was so upset that he disowned the Curlett family and influenced the Government to expropriate Robert's land. To date, we have not been able to confirm or refute this story. However, circumstantial evidence tends to refute it. The four sons of Robert Emmet [Curlett] all stayed in the Green Point area. The second son, John [Curlett] lived on land close to where Robert's distillery was said to have been and on land owned by his grandfather." | TRUMPOUR, John (Johannes, Hans, Haunts) (I2323)

| 308 | "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." | CURLETTE, Robert Emmet (I4491)
