Biography

She was born about 1745 in James City County, Virginia and her parents were Mary (Wilkerson) and Charles Weatherford.

Rachel Weatherford married about 1760 in the Carolinas to Joseph Howell Curry, Jr. and their children included ...

  1. Joseph Curry
  2. Richard Curry
  3. Benjamin Curry
  4. Thomas Curry.

During or shortly after the Revolutionary War, five of her sons emigrated to the Bahamas. [1]

She died after 1790 in Harbour Island, Eleuthera, Bahama Islands, West Indies.

Research Notes

One family tree shows that Joseph Curry, Jr. married Jemima Gibbons, but with no source ... so probably speculative.

The ancestry of the Curry family in the Bahamas continues to challenge genealogists. 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, William Curry Harllee, in his epic genealogy "Kinfolks", believed that the Curry families in the islands today all descend from Loyalist brothers who emigrated from the southern US in the 1780s. A premise not proved by any primary documentation.)

Weatherford-357 and Weatherford-252 appear to represent the same person because: dups with same parents and same spouse
