Aaron McCurdy's Family

Aaron McCurdy, the youngest son of John and Mary (McGill) was born in
Monogahela County, western Virginia on May 3, 1820. He attended the district
school in its sessions and received a very fair education. At the age of 18
he drifted away from home and went to Harrison County, Ohio where he
remained a year with his aunt, the widow of Abel McCurdy. In 1840 he went to
Monroe County, Ohio where he worked on a farm for his brother-in-law, Isaac
Eddy and remained until he married. In 1842 he married Rebecca Ann Kinkade,
the daughter of David Kinkade of Monroe County. To this union twelve
children were born: Christena; Charles W.; John V.; Mary J.; Anjemora; Sarah
A.; William V. B.; Vinton V. B.; Ulysses G.; Elmer D. E.; Aaron D.; George
W. In 1850 Mr. McCurdy moved his family to Wirt County, western Virginia and
there located. In 1852 he cleared a few acres and moved thereon. The first
year of the Civil War (1861-62) there was in that section of the state
lawless bands of un-uniformed soldiers with pronounced sympathy for the
Confederacy who were called Bushrangers. In the latter part of 1862 a band
of these Bushrangers attacked Mr. McCurdy's home, he being absent at the
time. his wife and children were turned out of doors and the Bushrangers
looted the place. They left a warning for Mr. McCurdy to leave the country
upon pain of death. Shortly after, another band attacked the house, again he
was absent but they did not molest the family. Searching the house they
quietly left leaving the same warning. Some days later taking his five
children in a canoe down the Little Kanawha River, took them to safety in
Parkersburgh where he left them and returned to his home only to find it in
ashes. Being now without any resources whatever except a cow and a spinning
wheel (the latter not being in the house when it burned) he took his family
to Washington County, Ohio and there located.
