Re: The Currey Family in the Hudson Highlands

Lambendsor — 2009-08-27 11:55:38Z

Thanks for the extra details. Of course, I'll let you know if I learn anything more about the people we have in common. One day I hope to find either a record of Mary (GRAY) FOULKES's death or of Sarah's marriage to Henry - which, I guess, took place in either Manhattan or Westchester.

Re: The Currey Family in the Hudson Highlands

jdbabish — 2009-08-25 11:09:30Z

Sorry, I only had the 1880 census entry containing Sarah. Sarah's birth record (from Brooklyn) would be at the NY Municipal Archives. The 1900 entry is fascinating in that it adds another daughter, Josephine, who is named after Matilda (Tillie) Hammond's mother, Josephine Emmet. I also didn't know Matilda had remarried. Richard C. M. Currey is buried with Matilda's parents James and Josephine Hammond in Mount Hope Cemetery in Hastings-on-Hudson, NY.

Re: The Currey Family in the Hudson Highlands

Lambendsor — 2009-08-22 20:40:15Z

Darn! It figures.

In your research, have you come across anything more about Sarah? I found her with Henry FOULKES and her mother - who had remarried John BRIGHT, cigar maker - and their families all living in Harrison, NY, on the 1900 Census. But I haven't been able to move forward, only backward, and I'd like to know what became of Henry and Harriet FOULKES.

Re: The Currey Family in the Hudson Highlands

jdbabish — 2009-08-21 13:05:54Z

I have several pages of the book related to Cornelius M. Currey and Richard Channing Moore Currey. Richard's son Henry Channing Currey was my wife's great grandfather and your Sarah's brother. Portions of the book were copied for me by the Field Library in Peekskill, NY. The information related to Richard C. M. Currey is inaccurate in that it shows Richard's children as Mary and Amy with no mention of Henry or Sarah or a wife. Richard's wife was Matilda (Tillie) Teresa Hammond. They were married 1 November 1871. The marriage certificate shows Cornelius M. Currey as his father. Henry C. Currey was born 29 May 1874 according to his birth certificate and Sarah in April 1880 (1880 census for Brooklyn, NY).

The Currey Family in the Hudson Highlands

Lambendsor — 2009-08-20 21:01:29Z

I wonder if anyone has a copy of "The Currey Family in the Hudson Highlands" handy. I'm trying to trace a tangential part of my family and thought this book might contain some useful details.

I'm hoping to learn more about the family of Cornelius M. CURREY (1808-1854), particularly his son Richard C. CURREY's daughter Sarah CURREY (born 1880). Sarah apparently married photographer Henry R. FOULKES (born 1859) in 1899.

Henry's first wife was Mary GRAY (c1859-?), my great-grandfather's sister. She died sometime before the 1900 Census. Henry and Mary had a daughter named Harriet FOULKES, born c1889.

Peter Currey of Ireland

I am interested in any information, stories, documentation you may have about Peter Curry/Currey born about 1740 in Ireland and coming to the US about 1762. If you have any documentation of the ship and port, etc I would greatly appreciate it. Any info about any of the descendants would be helpful.

William Currey (Curry) SC b 1750-1760

oma2004 — 2009-04-18 15:22:16Z

Kershaw Co SC: 1788, a William Curry(Currey)married Jane Cunningham b 1768 SC, youngest daughter of Arthur and Ellender Cunningham, both born Ireland and immigrated to SC in 1767, on the Earl of Donegal. I can find no immigration record of William Curry, but do see him connected with a George Curry of Kershaw county on land deeds, prior to 1800.
Does anyone know of these Currey/Currys?

Does anyone out there know if there is still a Currey Reunion being held either in, around, or close to, Harmony Grove, Taylor County ( or Goodhope Church in harrison County), West Virginia? Back in 1916, the Currey Reunion Committee was formed for annual Currey Reunions. If anyone has any information regarding a continued West Virginia Currey Reunion, please respond to this posting. There are a few of us watching these postings who are very interested in knowing if they continue.

Re: Currey or Curry in Schuylkill or Northumberland Co. PA?

Marianne_Granoff — 2008-06-05 14:04:49Z

I am seeking information on my g-grandmother Margaret or Maggie Curry/Currey b. Apr 1863 in PA.; d. 1935 in PA.

She was the daughter of John or James Curry/Currey of Mt. Laffee in Schuylkill County, PA (according to her death certificate) and Mary Curry/Currey (maiden name unknown). Her parents were both born in Ireland. The James/John and Mary Curry/Currey family may have lived in the Philadelphia area for a while before moving to Schuylkill County. I do not have information on other family members except that there was probably a daughter named Anna or Annie. There may have been a son named Patrick.

Maggie Curry/Currie married Peter Jack in 1878 in Shamokin, PA. They had the following seven children:

Mary Jack b. 1880 in Shamokin; d. before 1990.

Unknown Jack b. after 1881; d. before 1990.

Margaret Jack b. between 1884 - 1888 in Shamokin; d. 1955 in PA.

John Joseph Jack b. 12 Aug 1886 in Shamokin; d. after 1942. M. Anna ??? in 1926.

Mary C. (Mame) Jack b. 27 Aug 1889 in Shamokin; d. 15 Mar 1982 Shamokin; m. Frank Joseph Manley on 06 Feb 1918 in Shamokin. They had four children: Francis Jack, Lorraine, Patricia Anne, and Helene Manley. The family lived in Shamokin.

Frank L. Jack b. 27 Aug 1891 in Shamokin; d. Jan 1973 in Shamokin. Frank m. Elizabeth Marquette in 1932 in Shamokin. There were no children. Frank was a successful businessman and may have owned a bar or liquor distributorship.

Edward A. Jack b. 12 Sep 1893; d. 1941 in Shamokin.

The family members were Roman Catholic. Maggie Curry/Currey was said to be a cook for the Molly Maguires as a teenager/young woman. Several family members are buried in St. Edwards in Shamokin. One of Maggie's parents may have been from an Irish "Traveler" family.

I would be interested in any information on any of these people. Thank you.

I haven't seen anything on the reunion in years. The last one I went to was in 1988 or so. I know they had several after that because my Grandfather (Romulus Lawler) wouldn't miss one for the world. I think they were always on the last Sunday in August. If I see any correspondance I will let you know.

The reunion was held at Harmony Grove Baptist Church.

Re: Mary Curry

tmcclaughry1 — 2008-07-02 19:12:51Z

I am the third oldest son of Jesse R. McClaughry. I have six siblings. His mother's name was Olga and he was named after his father. Yes, the dates are correct as to the year they passed. I know my grandfather is buried at Memorial Cemetery in Evanston. My father had several siblings too. To name a few..........George, Myrtle, Shirley, Betty, Hazel, James, Gayle, Frances, Marie, Earl and Andrew. I know Andrew was the oldest. He was a funny guy. Aunt Myrt, Uncle Earl and Aunt Marie are the only ones alive now. I had a picture of my dad, Uncle Gayle and Uncle Andrew and they looked like triplets! I can't find that picture now, but I remember the day I took it at our family picnic some time ago. I also had a picture of grandfather too. Aunt Shirley died when I was young and so did Aunt Hazel. She married a Smolinski. They had six kids. I don't remember Aunt Frances so much. My father really didn't talk about his side of the family too much.
I recommend that you try to contact Carol Henn. She and my son talked to her some time ago and found out a whole lot of information. She was looking into the family tree and all. She's at carolhenn@yahoo.com..

Re: McClaughry

tmcclaughry1 — 2008-07-02 18:50:23Z

Hello,
My grandmother's name was Olga on my father's side. My fathers name was Jesse R. McClaughry. He had thirteen brothers and sisters. Some of them are still living. My aunt Marie is the youngest and is still alive. I am the third oldest in my family of seven.
Yes, this is true that there is a park named after the McClaughry's in Palos Park. They came to this area some time ago. From there they went to Blue Island and then settled in Evanston. My grandfather is buried in Memorial Cemetery in Evanston. I met Carol Henn (who I think is my second cousin) and we talked for hours. I believe she has spoken to my cousin Vera.(she is the daughter of Sonny/Betty (McClaughry)Lindermann.
Wow, there is much more to this....... If you could get in contact with Carol, she could fill in some of her findings too. Yes, we do go back to Longford, Ireland.

Charles E Currey Obit - Marion, OH - d. 9 Aug 1962

gpiper1 — 2008-01-15 19:42:08Z

The Marion Star, Marion, OH, August 10, 1962, pp. 1;10

Local Driver In Car-Truck Collision Dies

Crash South of City Tuesday Takes Life Of Charles Currey

The 15th Marion County traffic fatality of the year was recorded Thursday at 11.55 pm, when Charles E. Currey, 58, of 1231 Woodbine Ave died of injuries suffered in a tank truck-car collision Tuesday.

He had suffered a fractured pelvis, crushed chest, lacerated lung and multiple abrasions and lacerations, Marion General Hospital authorities reported.

He was injured when his car swerved left of center and struck an approaching tanker-truck almost head-on, about 6 1/2 miles south of Marion on Rt. 23, Marion highway patrolmen said.

The left front of the car was smashed in, pinning Currey inside for a short time. The truck continued off the east side of the road, traveling some 150 feet through a pile of lumber and shearing off two trees in an orchard before stopping. The truck driver, Myron J White, 42, of near Ashtabula, was thrown out of the cab. He is listed in good condition today at the hospital.

Born Nov. 28 1903, in Muncie, Ind., Mr. Currey was a son of Sylvanus F. and Pearl Faulver Currey, the father a native of Springfield and the mother of Newcastle, Ind. On Jan 24, 1921, he married Bernice Naus. The death of Mrs. Gladys Walter Naus, whom he married Aug. 11, 1948, occurred May 23, last year. He was employed as a machinist by the North American Aviation Co at Columbus.

Surviving are his daughter, Mrs. Russell Harruff of Columbus, a stepdaughter, Mrs Albert Wilson of 316 Girard Ave in Marion; a stepson, Robert E. Smith of 970 N. Main St, and seven grandchildren. A brother preceded him in death.

Funeral services will be conducted Monday at 10:30 a.m. in the Schaffner - Denzer Funeral Home. Rev. Thomas I. Redfern will officiate. Burial will be in Chapel Heights Memory Gardens. Friends may call at the funeral home after 7.30 pm. Saturday.

NOTE: Looking for descendants that can help clarify NAUS marriages listed in this obituary.
