Elizabeth Curtis' father

The parents of Elizabeth, the wife of John Curtis (1611-1707), are not known. NOT Gov. John Welles; that's been disproven.

From Jacobus’s History and Genealogy of the Families of Old Fairfield:64

“Statements to the effect that Elizabeth was a Welles are based on a misinterpretation of a deed at Stratford; he was caIled uncIe by John Welles (son of Hugh) who m. his niece Sarah Curtis.”
