Biography
Martha and her twin sister Elizabeth were born 20 March 1779.
The Morse Bible transcript[1] gives Martha's marriage to Ebenezer "Eben" Curtis on 29 Sep 1799. The Curtiss books[2][3] have Ebenezer "Eben" Birdseye Curtiss' married to Patty Morse. In both cases, the children include (in this order) Annis, John, Matilda, Celestia, and Morse. Therefore, I think it's safe to assume that Martha and Patty are the same woman.
They had the following children[1][2][3]:
- Annis Curtis, b. 25 Oct 1800, d. 20 Jun 1847
- Mordicai Curtis, b. 14 Jun 1802, d. ...
- John M. Curtis, b. 6 May 1804
- Matilda Curtis, b. 18 Jan 1807, d. 8 Nov 1836
- Dyer Curtis, b. 1 Apr 1809, d. ...
- Celestia Curtis, b. 3 Jul 1810
- S. Morse Curtis, b. 25 Aug 1812
Mordicai and Dyer aren't in the Curtiss books. Between that omission and the death notation for both in the Morse transcript, they may have died young.
