He removed to Windsor, Vermont, sometime previous to the commencement of the Revolutionary war, and died a major in the northern army.


MAJ. PETER CURTIS, third son of Peter Curtis, Sen., settled in Farmington ; was an officer in the American army of the Revolution; was after the war a brigade major and also a major in the line. He was the first keeper of Newgate prison, in Granby, commencing 1790, and left it in 1796, in declining health, and died in 1797. He had two sons Jeptha and Adna, and two daughters. Betsey and Nancy.


33


GIDEON CURTIS, was the 4th son of Peter Curtis, Sen. He married Elizabeth or Betsey, daughter of Rev. Gideon Mills. He resided on the premises, and built the house now standing some forty rods north-east from Gen. Ezekiel Hosford's. He was by occupation a blacksmith. He, by an overlifting in his youthful days, brought on a disease or weakness of the back, which caused him to endure frequent spells of sickness and suffering by turns through his remain- ing years, and brought him down to the grave in 1789. Several circumstances and traits of character in this excel- lent man, and his amiable companion, are thought worthy of notice in this short sketch of a few things respecting them. They were both, in their natural turn and deport- ment uncommonly kind and agreeable, but beyond this, they both exhibited those good properties that go to show what divine grace can raise some of our human race to be in the humbler walks of life. They both, to an eminent degree manifested Christian resignation under adversity, which, at the same time was at a great remove from unfeeling indif- ference. Some things respecting Mr. Curtis will here be no- ticed. He was troubled with stammering in his speech, to an uncommon degree. He was a singer of the first order. His voice and scientific accomplishments would compare well among the first masters and teachers of that time, though his knowledge and his high attainments, were pro- duced by his own native musical genius, aided by his own application to the science as he had opportunity.


His impediment in speech was no embarrassment in his singing except in mentioning tunes, and occasional speak- ing, and his vital strength held out to within a short time of his death. His weakness, and spinal sensitiveness was such that for many weeks he required to be lifted from his bed to his chair, and even to be turned from side to side on his bed, yet he could join with his friends and attendants who loved singing, and would occasionally favor them by singing some European or American set pieces, which he had in his mental store, consisting of music from Madan, and others. He would often sing the anthem from 7th of Job, music by


5


34


Lyons, and remark at the close, that it was applicable to his own case; he loved to sing the Dying Christian, music by Bil- lings. Having sold the place on which he commenced his family state, he lived his last year in a house then standing the west side of the road, opposite the house of James Hum- phrey, and died there. He was viewed by Christian people as one who could understandingly confide in the rectitude of God's dealings with him. The same traits of character were seen to adorn the life of his worthy partner, both during his life, and through the remainder of her life, which closed in A.D. 1825. She, for the last twenty-seven years of her life, was the wife of the Rev. Rufus Hawley, of Northington, (now Avon.) It appeared to be a settled principle with her, that whatso- ever God did was right. They were the parents of six chil- dren.
