Research Notes: John's father also went by Hiram CURTIS and family tradition stated that his biological father's surname was CURTIS (perhaps James CURTIS the son of James CURTIS and Sarah FAIRCHILD) and after Hiram's biological parents were killed he was adopted by Joshua Pennington and his wife, Nancy SPARKS. He took his adopted parents' surname for some documents and others he was listed by the CURTIS surname.
