Ephraim Curtis

Biography

Ephraim was born ca 1654, probably in Salem, Massachusetts.[1] He is the son of Zaccheus Curtis and possibly Joanna Corwithin, (mother's maiden name is unproven).[1] His father immigrated from England in 1635 and first settled in Salem, Massachusetts.[1] By 1658, the family was at Reading, Massachusetts.[1]

Note: If Jane/Johanah is the mother of the children, then the marriage should have happened by 1646. She could be Joanna Carwithen daughter of David - but that is unproven.[1]

Family

Ephraim married 6 September 1693 at Rowley, Essex County, Massachusetts to Elizabeth Kilborne.[1]
