Creamer and Mabee Families

Notes


Ida M TILTON

CENSUS: In the 1900 census, Ida reports that she has had seven children, two still living.  Walter and Harry are listed in the census.

Since Ida and Edward were only married abt 1893, I believe she must have been married before and had five children with her first husband.


William CURL

BIOGRAPHY: Accoriding to an article that appeared in the Urbana Daily citizen;

BIOGRAPHY: To many of us the pioneering people of long ago are mere names. Seldom do we picture their every day life of hardship and toil. In all of my efforts to bring back again the stories of those men and women who first braved the struggle and danger of pioneer days, only a few left a name that is preserved in history, but all of them left a heritage worthy of our gratitude, and the family of which I write at this time is one of the most deserving.
It was in the year 1776 when the great struggle of the War for Independence first began that William Curl and Sarah Brown were united in marriage. William curl was born in 1754 and Sarah Brown in 1758. William is thought to be the son of Jeremiah, who was a native of England. Sarah Brown was a daughter to Thomas and Mary (Ball) Brown. The Browns were natives of Wales and Mary Ball Brown was directly related to George Washington's mother, who was also a Mary Ball Washington. William Curl was a soldier of the Revolution as was the father and a brother of Sarah Ball Brown.

BIOGRAPHY: Thomas Brown was born in Wales in 1730, and died near Bethel, Ohio in Clermont County. He and his wife are buried one and one half miles north of Bethel. William and Sarah curl, after the war was ended, raised a family of 11 children, all of whom except possibly the last two were born in Virginia. They came to Ohio soon after the state was first settled and were located in Warren County for a time where some of their children were married, but soon after 1800 the family moved and all of their children came farther north into what is now Clark County, then known as Champaign County.
