Hi all,
Well, I answered my own question about Currys in the Bahamas by cruising
around the Internet a little. It would appear that all of these Currys came
from Ireland - not the US. I checked the Monroe Co., FL genweb and found
that there were several Curry/Weatherford marriages in one person's line, but
these were Curry men marrying Weatherford women, and the names of these women
weren't known except that one was Rachel. I'm sending what I found about the
Currys in the Bahamas below.
