CURLIS, ROBINSON posted by Dave Curliss on Monday, September 22, 2003

Seeking any information on Allen CURLIS (1856-1910) and his wife Emma ROBINSON (1862-92), who had six children. Allen migrated to Wood Co. from Clermont Co., Ohio, sometime in the latter half of the 1800's, while several of his siblings ventured to (or near) Oklahoma. Emma is of Huron Co., Ohio, originally. They both died fairly young at Rudolph (Wood), Ohio. I am of the line descended from thier son Marion Devilus CURLIS who settled in Sandusky Co., Ohio, but lived for some time in Hancock Co., where several CURLIS families still reside today. Any help getting a grip on CURLIS' of this area would be greatly appreciated.
