From Deane’s History of Scituate:53
    Thomas Curtis, (brother of Richard), was in Scituate 1649. He had previously lived at Georgiana, and is called of York, in our records. He returned to York, where he was living in 1684, at which date he gave a deed to his son Samuel, of lands on Curtis or Buttonwood hill, where Samuel and several generations of his family lived.
        Two children of Thomas Curtis were born and baptized in Scituate second parish, Elizabeth 1649, and Samuel 1659. He had also a son Benjamin of Portsmouth. We have seen a deed (preserved here) from Robert Tufton Mason to Benjamin Curtis, conveying a lot of land ‘on Great Island in the Piscataqua River,’ dated 1681.

Thomas’s will was dated 19 Apr 1680, but not probated until 1 Oct 1706. It mentions his sons Joseph, Dodivah and Job; daughters Abigail, Lydia, Sarah, Rebecca and Anne Curtis, and Hannah Jynkins. He had already given portions to sons Benjamin and Samuel.

“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.”47
