| Notes |
- DANIEL McCURDY, “the Refugee,” the fifth and youngest of the brothers, was born about 1650. He had four sons (with no historic knowledge of any daughters), and they located around Ahoghill and County Derry. It may be noted that in the reprint of Historical Genealogy, published by W. D. McCurdy, at the foot of page twenty-one is a statement regarding the children of DAVID. This is probably a misprint for DANIEL, this latter word appearing in the original version of D. E. McCurdy. To these four sons, then, of DANIEL may be assigned the approximate birth-dates: James, born in 1678; Samuel, born in 1682; Thomas, born in 1686; and Daniel, born in 1690. This James moved to America as a young man, and was one of the early settlers of Londonderry, N.H. Of his children, Robert, born about 1705, became a prominent citizen, and served as a Selectman of the town for 1741-45. The children of Robert (order of birth unknown) were: John, born in 1746, died in 1824, who fought in the Revolution and moved to New Boston, N.H. John married Nancy Cochrane, but was married a second time. The other children of Robert were Mary, married Peter Cochrane; Janette, married Henry Parkinson; a daughter who married a Mr. Story; and Elizabeth, who married Daniel Short.
