Jane (Curry) Fulford is part of a Bahamian family.

Biography

John Curry left his estate to his beloved wife Mary and to his seven children. Jane was probably his youngest child and was born a year or two before his death in 1792. She passed away in the Bahamas in 1861. Son Edward was assigned administrator of her estate. She died intestate.

She became Captain William Gibson Fulford's second wife after the death of the Captain's wife Catherine Finlayson Fulford on 1 August 1813. Their first child together was born 15 October 1814 in Nassau.

Jane was a passenger on her husband's schooner, the "Trio", in 1823 - her age was listed on the passenger manifest as 33 years. Aboard were his wife Jane Curry Fulford, his son William, his daughter Catherine, and Abraham Holmes. (Capt. Fulford registered his schooner upon his arrival in the port of New York.)

Please Note

The ancestry of the Curry family in the Bahamas continues to challenge genealogists. With this tree, I am hoping we can untangle some of our confusion by restoring the early 18th century Bahamian Currys to the family tree. (As you know, Harllee, in his genealogy "Kinfolks", believed that the Curry families all descended from Loyalist brothers who emigrated from the southern US in the 1780s.)

PLEASE DON'T ADD DATA if it is sourced to "Kinfolks" before 1800.

PLEASE ADD DATA if it can be sourced to Bahamian parish records or other primary sources.

No sources. The events of Jane's life were either witnessed by Ann Carmel or Ann plans to add sources here later.
