--------------------------
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.
