779William Curry, who had served his country for American independence under Capt. Peter Bartholf in the regiment commanded by Col. John Hawthorn, New York state troops, removed in 1790 from Dutchess county, N. Y. and settled on "Queen Esther's Flats," the whole country then being a dense forest with a few remote, isolated families. Here he lived for a few years, then purchased from the state of Pennsylvania 240 acres of land farther south in Ulster township, known as the "Welles farm," and by unremitting industry and economy made a desirable home for himself and family. During the War of 1812, Mr. Curry and his eldest son, William, enlisted and both served with credit to themselves and country. In 1769, Mr. Curry had married Charity Lockwood, with whom he lived in perfect harmony for over 63 years. Unto them were born six sons and three daughters. Some of the sons settled in Tompkins county, N. Y., and two went to the far West to seek their fortunes. Mrs. Curry died October 12, 1832, aged 82 years, 9 months and 6 days, and her patriot husband died, 1844, aged 96 years. Their remains repose in the Milan cemetery. Of their sons:
John for some years occupied a farm of 116 acres in Smithfield, deeded him by his father.
Ezekiel settled just above the creek in Athens township. He married Clarissa Lamphere, who bore him three daughters: Fanny, who married Jabez Havens and lived in Binghamton; Harriet married Rev. H. M. Chase, a Christian minister, and lived on the farm occupied by her father, who was also a minister of the same denomination; Polly married William Smith and died on the homestead. Rev. Ezekiel Curry died October 26, 1867, aged 76 years, 4 months and 20 days, and his wife, April 29, 1835, aged 40 years, 8 months and 17 days.
Lockwood, another son, met a tragic death in 1801, which saddened the hearts of the family and cast a pall of gloom and sadness upon the little community. While hunting he was shot by a companion in mistake for a deer.
--------------------
Ezekiel Curry (1791 – 1867). This "brother was born in Athens, Penn., June 6, 1791, and died in the same place, October 26, 1867. He married, for his first wife, Clarissa Lamphere, August 9, 1812, who died April 29, 1835. February 6, 1837, he married Mary Stevens, a female laborer in the Christian Church, who survived him.
The Curry family belonged to the Methodists. Ezekiel was converted in that church in 1814. He continued an active member of that body for about twenty years, when a certain trouble occurred in the church, and the class-book was burned by one of the ministers. About the same time, some of the Christian ministers preached in Smithfield, Penn., near his residence, which caused him to search the scriptures for himself. His views were changed and he joined the latter body. He had heard of the "Christians," as they were called, before and formed a very poor opinion of them, but when he learned for himself he became a zealous advocate of the doctrine he had hated.
His first public work was in connection with his wife. He being a good singer and an earnest talker he soon became an active lay worker in the church. He was ordained to the full work of the ministry about 1839, and became a member of the New York Eastern Conference. By occupation he was a farmer and acquired a handsome property. He became a very useful man. While limited in education he gained much knowledge in laboring in the ministry.
William Curry (1770 – 1855). William was born near Peekskill, N. Y., in 1770. He joined the Methodists and commenced preaching among them about 1795. He continued a minister of that church about twenty-seven years. In connection with eight other ministers, he left that body on account of a disagreement on the doctrine of the Trinity, and kindred tenets. They at first formed an independent body of their own, but finally joined the Christians. He died at Enfield, N.Y., March 25, 1855, in his eighty-fifth year.
The Elder had been a resident of the Western part of New York for many years. He was an active minister of the Christian Church eighteen years. He was a man of respectable ability, of lively conception, and his communications were fordable.
