Re: Arthur CURVIN, b. abt. 1836

maurita2u — 2009-02-21 02:59:34Z

Hello, I was just doing research on my family. I found this name Arthur Curvin in the records as living w/a George R. Buckner in 1860 in Dardene township in st. charles county, MO. I don't know if we are talking about the same person. I am from the Buckner family. My grandma use to tell me a story about a white Irish man (we are a black family) that had a child with her grandmother. I have just been searching every avenue and was just curious if this person has anything to do with my search. The only place I can find him is in this 1860 census in MO. feel free to email me if you have any questions or info.
Thanks,
Maurita

I looked into your post. I have found a Andrew J Curvin, wife listed as an Allie F, who was born in 1870 in Arkansas. He made his residence in Graves, Kentucky. He is listed in the Kentucky 1910 Miracode index and in the 1920 US Fed Census. in the 1910 US Fed census his name my have been misspelled to be Andrew CURRIN and he is listed to be a Junior (Jr.)but the name of his wife and the birth year are the same. He may have died in 1922 in Kentucky and would be listed in the Kentucky Death index, 1911-2000.

I am looking for information on a Lillie/Lillian/Lily Maude/maud Curvin who was my GGrandmother, Wanda Sue Tabor's, mother. her husband may have been an E. B. Tabor or Eldridge B. Tabor who i am alos looking for information on. I know she died in childbirth or shortly there after. The child (harry/henry Boyd) did survive the birth, to later be smothered while sleeping, his aunt rolled over on him in the bed. I believe she was either of Kentucky or Tennessee and that she may have been either 'full-blooded' or part native american, or that is one of the rumors. I know she had several children other than Wanda and harry/Henry. I dont know all of their names, but i can find out some of Lilly's childrens' names if needed. I hope someone can help!

Thanks

Hi, Dana,
Sorry for the long delay on this response but I lost the link to this site and couldn't remember it.
I found it by dumb luck in google.

My name is Jack C. Curvin jr.
My father had a few brothers and one sister.
Robert, Garland, Andrew, Virgil, Ralph jr.and Juanita.

Their fathers name was Ralph.
Their mothers maiden name was Pollack.

I have traced the family to Kentucky ( where I still keep in touch with Curvin relatives)and Arkansas.

I have also traced the name to Ireland and just recentlly, Scotland.

If you would like to contact me directlly feel free to email me at : jccurvin@usit.net and I will respond.

DANA, i am researching the Curvins also. i have been in contact with Wendy Quinlan and she said she sent you a file on the Curvin family through the computer. She can no longer retrieve it to send it to me. Could you please send me what she sent you??
Thank you very much, Lynda Brown

Hi, I just read yours and 'Wendy's' posts of a little over a year ago. Are you a member of the Curvin family? I am an old family friend of the family. I would very much like to connect with you and exchange info. You can email me at 2lynns@bellsouth.net. Looking forward to hearing from you. Lynda Brown

Hi, I just saw your post of a little over a year ago re: George Washington Curvin and cemetery listings. I have found his death certificate and it lists Crooks Cemetery is where he is buried. Did you ever find any cemetery listings?? I found Lettie's name on the death certificate as Lettie Glover, but it lists his father's name as "unobtainable". The informant was a Mrs. Ira Johnson, possibly his daughter?? DO YOU KNOW WHO his father was??? How are you related, on the Glover side? George's brother, James W. Curvin, was the grandfather of an old family friend, William Curvin, who just died last week here in Cullman county, Alabama, at age 104. I am trying to put together a history for his 5 remaining children. I would very much like to hear from you. Do you know Lettie's death date? I could possibly get her death certificate. you can e mail me at 2lynns@bellsouth.net.
Thanks, Lynda Brown

George Washington Curvin Calhoun Co. AL

2006-01-25 18:00:16Z

Am looking for anyone who has cemetery listings for the following people/and or any other data they would like to share. I am researching the Glovers. I believe the 1900 census has Letty's birthdate wrong, which is why I hope to find a gravestone entry.

Glover, Luticia md Carvin, Geo Washington 01/Apr/1852 Calhoun County, AL (in 1852 it was still called Benton County.)

*Her name was Lettie, probably short for Leticia rather than Luticia. Curvin was misspelled as Carvin.

In 1850, Letty was living with her widowed mother Mary Glover and other siblings in Benton Co. AL, later renamed to Calhoun.

I still need to find the 1860 census for GW Curvin and his family.

He was born in TN.
I believe "Wash" was in the Civil War in the same company as JW Glover, his brother in law.

GW Curvin died abt 1868.

1870: Cleburne County AL 29 June 1870 (next to Calhoun County)

Lett Curvin 38
Sarah A. 16
Nancy O. 12
James W. 10
George W. 6
William 3

after the death of Wash Curvin, Lettie and the children returned to Calhoun Co. AL The census taker did not do a good job of spelling the name, but these are the same people

1880: Calhoun Co.
Letty Curvice 48
Nancy O. 22
James W. S. 20
George W. 16
William F. 13

1900 Calhoun Co. AL Iron City Precinct #12 8 June 1900 page 5A SD 7 ED36

Re: Curvin as a first name

2004-07-12 03:32:29Z

Thanks for the info! My last name is obviously Irish. I've always wondered about my first name, especially since I got the name from a fellow by the name of Curvin Gingrich. I had always thought that Gingrich was a Pennsylvania Dutch surname. Possibly it is. Possibly he got his first name from an Irish wing of his family.

Re: Curvin as a first name

2004-07-10 20:21:49Z

My last name is Curvin and I can tell you that it is an Irish name.

I once located my name on a map of Ireland and it was located in the center, northern part of the country.

Also, I have traced my family back to county Cavern and county Cork in Ireland as well.

Re: Who were the earliest Curvin's?

2004-07-10 20:04:10Z

I would be interested in hearing about the Curvins that you have found in your research.

I have found a number of members of my family ( I am a Curvin ) in my research as well and perhaps they are related to them.

Please drop me an email

Re: Any tartan's for the curvin clan

2004-05-10 15:10:43Z

Hi...I read your post on ancestry.com. I wondered if you had any luck turning up a tartans?

I'm in Chattanooga, Tennessee... my father's family lived in West Tennessee, near Reelfoot Lake, in Mayfield, Kentucky, and in the White River area of Arkansas. We've hit a lot of dead ends in our searches, but I am about ready to renew my search and see what turns up. I wonder if our genetic paths are crossed.

Re: Curvin's from Michigan

2004-02-10 02:14:11Z

I don't know the names you mention, but since the subject is "Curvin's from Michigan" I wanted to mention that my husband's grandfather is named Jack Curvin. He lived in Michigan, not sure what city, and served in Japan in WWII. He had three children, but the only name I know is my father-in-law, Patrick.

Re: WHERE ARE ALL THE CURVIN'S

2004-01-28 01:08:58Z

We are probably second cousins. Was your grandfather a Jonathan Curvin, too? My grandfather was his brother, Winthrop Curvin. As I understand it, they were never close, so the branches of the family don't know each other. But their sister stayed in touch with both of them and with me. Contact me directly at curvinc1@yahoo.com if you want--I may never find this website again!

James CARVEN, 1753 census

2003-10-23 21:12:30Z

I noted this same entry, but then Ancestry doesn't show such a database in the NC listings [a common error at Ancestry], so I can't answer directly. However, if you search the Chowan County deed index at
http://www.ancestry.com/search/db.asp?dbid=6203, and ask for James CARven with soundex option, you get about 150 James CRAven entries, many of which he is a grantor in the 1740's. It appears the census index may be a transposition of letters, and really refers to this [apparently] prominent landowner. CRAVENS founded Duke Univ, so there may be lots of info on this name. But I don't know any connection to CARV*N.

Re: CRVNS in 1880 census - anyway you spell it

2003-10-23 13:21:49Z

I've been trying to find a James Carv*n born 1790 in NC. I got some info from ancestry.com of a James Carven 1753 Chowan County NC - says database is Early Census Index. ID #NCS1a606433. Can you tell me what this is? Would like to check out information.

Arthur CURVIN, b. abt. 1836

2004-09-22 04:26:02Z

Born in Ireland. Immigrated to US when he was small. Passed away May 29, 1915 in Springfield, Illinois at the age of 79. On his death notice it says that one of his children was Mrs. C. Sinniger. I am trying to find out more about Arthur, his wife, his daughter and her husband "Sinniger". I am directly descended from the Sinnigers.

Re: Who were the earliest Curvin's?

2004-07-16 18:43:59Z

In reply to your message. There are lots of Curvins in the research we have done. We also know of the Irish connection and also the English. We had a letter indicating there are no more Curvins in Ireland. There was one lady who had the maiden name of Curvin. Have you found any others? I would be interested in your research also.

Curvin as a first name

2003-01-05 16:19:19Z

At birth a long time ago, I got Curvin as a first name, Gingrich as a middle name and O'Rielly as a last name. I know O'Rielly is an Irish last name. Am I right in assuming that Curvin is also an Irish last name? Can anyone tell me its origins or where in Ireland it came from? Thanks.

I also found 692 CURVIN, KERVIN, KIRVEN listings; there are rootsweb surname message boards for each spelling.

I also found 371 CORVIN, CORVINE, McCORVEN, McCORVAN, CORVEN, CORVAN, KORVIN, and

350 CARVIN CARVEN CARVAN listings. CARVIN and CORVIN have rootsweb surname message boards. The 350 CARVIN+ 1880 census listings are posted on the CARVIN surname board, or in the archives of the CARVIN-L list.
