“Four brothers, Richard, William, John and Thomas Curtis, settled in Scituate. Thomas went to York, Maine; John appears to have left no descendants, while those of Richard and William are numerous in Scituate, Hanover and vicinity in Massachusetts
“Richard Curtis, immigrant ancestor, was born in Kent, England. He settled in Scituate, Massachusetts, about 1643, and died there in 1693. Some writers have confused this RIchard with Richard Curtis, of Dorchester and Milton; and with Richard Curtis, of Salem and Marblehead. Richard, of Scituate, was on the list of Plymouth colony men able to bear arms in that 1643, and was a town officer in 1650. His brother William as also on this list, and together they took the oath of fidelity. He was one of the ‘allowed and approved inhabitants’ to whom portions of the common lands were assigned by the joint committee of the general court in 1673. Richard Curtis and Thomas Hyland were witnesses to the will of General James Cudworth in 1682. His home was between that of Gowen White and the harbor below Millbrook.”³⁹

"Richard Curtis was one of four brothers who came early to New England, viz. Richard, Thomas, John and William. John left no family.
"Richard had lands at Marblehead in 1648, and in the same year he purchased lands in Scituate, and built a house between Gowin White's and the Harbour.
"His will, dated 1692, gives 'To oldest son John two thirds ofmy real estate, he providing for my wife Lydia during her life. To son Thomsas one third, &c. To daughters Hannah Curtis, Elizabeth Brooks, Mary Badcocke, and Martha Clark.'"⁶
