Capt. Bo of the WTF co. Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 I am trying not to get too excited, but my maternal lineage includes the Nolands of Irish descent. I'm waiting for final confirmation from my cousin, our family geneologist, but there is a Richard Noland in the line born about the right time and was a seaman! Richard Noland of the Bellamy crewe survived the wreck and capture due to being in command of one of the prizes, and escaped to continue the sweet trade. I really hope this turns out to be the same man! Bo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capn Bob Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 I might have one of them, too. There was a Joseph Curtiss in Blackbeard's crew at the Battle of Ocracoke, and while I do not really think there's a direct connection (Pa's side of the family's been here since the 1630's), I hope he might be a distant relation...from the side of the family that stayed in Jolly Old, mayhap? However, we *do* have a Joseph Curtiss in the family, at the right time, but since Neddy's Joe Curtiss fell in defense of ship and captain, and since the family Joe...didn't...I doubt there's a connection there. (Altho it would be nice). And I have no details at all regarding the family's Joe Curtiss or what he did. Bumsky. Damn, thats sharp! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
