__________________________
Parentage Conflict
A Geneanet Community Tree claims that this Samuel Curry was a son of James Curry (1752-1834) and Mary Magdalene Burns (1768-1826), but this has been DISPROVEN for the following reasons: 1) they were married in 1784 [six years AFTER Samuel Curry was born], 2) Maria Magdalene was too young to have been his mother [9-10 years old when Samuel was born], and 3) the siblings of Samuel Curry as listed in his will DO NOT MATCH the children of James Curry and Maria Magdalene Burns. Additional research is needed to determine his correct parentage.
