Family lore has it that 4 Curtis(Curtice) brothers came to America.We think in the early 1700's. Samuel is a possible ancestor-(b.circa1720). We don't know where he was born or who his father was. Samuel Curtis,Esq.(1791-1816) we have documented as our ancestor- b.Randolph Cty.NC-d.Alamance Cty.,NC). The MCormaig who came over also came in the 1700's we think. The farthest back we have traced is Archibald born circa 1771 ,died in Robeson County, NC. We believe he or his father came from Kintyre, Scotland.Both families are in North Carolina as far back as we can trace, Randolph,Guilford,Alamance,(and maybe Rowan) Counties for the Curtis family and Robeson County for the McCormick-McCormaig(spelling changed). Any help would be very much appreciated.
