The name of his widow, Elizabeth Curtis and her two sons were on the earliest records of town of Stratford. The father probably died soon after arriving at Stratford, or on the journey. The Ufford and Booth families had intermarried with the Cutrtiss before they left England. "

p. ix: "The Curtiss family was one of the most prominent among the first settlers of Stratford, and it was suggested naming of the town was after Stratford-on-Avon.
