  	John Curtiss did NOT marry Elizabeth Welles as stated in "The History of Stratford" as well as the earlier Curtiss Genealogy. His wife's surname is not known to date. The error was caused by a land record in which John Wells called John Curtiss "uncle." This John Wells, as far as known, not related to Governor Thomas Welles; he was John, son of the widow Frances Wells and he married Sarah, first child of William Curtiss. John Curtiss, then, was his uncle by marriage.
