The Curtis family arrived in Boston, Massachusetts on September 16, 1632 on
the ship Lion. They first settled in Roxbury, Massachusetts on fifteen
acres of land. In 1639 they removed to Wethersfield, Connecticut.
There is no records of John's death, but presumable he died shortly after his
arrival in Wethersfield. After the death of her husband, Elizabeth Curtis
with her three sons went to Stratford, Connecticut when the town was first
founded. "Widow Curtiss", first appears on these records, in a list of
property about 1650 with her two sons, John and William. Her lot was near
or adjoining that of Rev. Adam Blakeman.
