"Curtis, John, s. of John. Sergt., Stratford Train Band. Bapt. at Nazing, co. Essex, Eng., 26 Feb. 1614/5. ~~Came aged 21 on the Safety in 1635,~~ was at Roxbury, Mass., for a time, resided 1639 in Wethersfield, and settled 1640 in Stratford. … John, Sr., d. (Stratford) 2 Dec. 1707 ae. abt. 96."

In 1635, the Safety went to Virginia, not New England. There is apparently no evidence that this is the John Curtis who was on that ship, and he is not included in the 1635 immigrants to New England as given by Robert Charles Anderson in The Great Migration.
