Thomas Jefferson Curl

Notes:

Middle name shown as JAMES on FindAGrave, and as Jefferson in notes of various family researchers. However, a transcription of his death record as it appeared in the family Bible also lists his middle name as Jefferson.

"Served the County of St. Francis, Arkansas as sheriff in 1840, and in 1841, he moved his family to San Augustine County, Texas."

White and Toole, in SABINE COUNTY HISTORICAL SKETCHES AND GENEALOGICAL RECORDS, show his descendancy as follows:

1 Jeremiah Curl b: Abt. 1725 in Virginia d: Abt. 1803 (Great Grandfather)
2 William Curl b: Abt. 1750 in Virginia d: Abt. 1837 in Tennessee (Grandfather)
3 William Curl, Jr.b: Abt. 1775 in Virginia d: Abt. 1835, husband of Elizabeth (parents)
