Cynthia, I noticed your old post from 2001. Your Curl ancestry ties into mine. If you are still searching for your Curl family let me know. I have them back to John Curl and Susan McKay in the mid 1700's. The last I knew your grandfathers sister, Zella Wilson, was still living somewhere near Centerville. My dad went to school with her in Udell. Steve

I also descend from this family,

Larry,

This is interesting. I am a descendant of the Curl line and what I found was two lines of Curls; both from a John Curl around 1770.

One has a son named Saml Curl (1800-1858) born in Pennsylvania who was married to Barbara Burkett (1801-1852) and also born in Pennsylvania. I believe they had a son name Mathias who married Hannah (1880 Census - https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/MWXQ-VZ6).

The other line (where I believe I descend from) has a John Curl married to Susanah McKay. They had a son named James. James married Nancy Ann Hughes and they fathered a son named Alexander L.

Now this is where I was thrown a bit and needed some help from notes I had from my grandmother. Both lines had a son named John Neal in 1855.

I'm not sure if this helps or not but I thought I would share.
