Searching for the parents of Henry Curtis was born about 1840 probably in Kentucky.

Two men on horseback brought Henry to the home of Hiram and Mary Ann Purvis and wanted to leave him for a little while. These men were to come back and pick him up but never did. Hiram and Mary Ann raised Henry.Years later an old man in Lewis County told Hobart Curtis, Henry's grandson, that Henry's father was a white boy and his mother was an Indian girl and neither family wanted him. Henry was approximately six or seven years old when the men left him at the Purvis' home.
When he was grown (1862) Henry married the Purvis' daughter, Martha Ann, and they had seven or eight children.
He died in 1910 in Rowan, Kentucky, at the age of 70, and was buried there.

I am searching for the parents of Edmund Thompson who was born approximately 1794 in Virginia. He married Sarah Rawlings and they had six children together between 1818 and 1828. He then married Dolly Hornback and they had four children together between 1833 and 1838. He died on February 21, 1874, in Lynchburg, Virginia, having lived a long life of 80 years.

I am researching the REEDER's of eastern PA in the hope of learning where my GGGGGgrandfather was born. John William REEDER we believe was born abt 1775, PA. We know that he arrived in Greenup Co., KY in 1816.

John W. REEDER, b: Mar 13, 1829, Greenup Co., KY d: Apr 12, 1915, Buchanan Co., MO stated his father John REEDER, Sr. was b: PA, his mother's name was Nancy KAMP, also believed born in PA. Census information indicates John Sr. b: abt 1775. His eldest three children were born VA, 1805, 1810, 1811. It is believed John Sr. had a brother named Simon. Research leads us to believe REEDER/KAMP families were in Northumberland, Berks or Bucks Counties.

I am also searching for any information concerning the lineage of Nancy Kamp as well.
