Birth*Fanny Curtis was born circa 1775 at Guilford, North Carolina; date of birth makes her 17 when Larkin was born.1 
NoteB It is quite possible that a second Fanny Curtis was born sometime later, and that she is the mother of the unknown male child born in 1819, as this Fanny would have been 44 years old then.1 
NoteB* On 19 September 1791, Parish Garner and John Walker jointly posted bond in the amount of 100 pounds because Frances Curtis was pregnant with a child that might become a burden on the state.1 
NoteB In August 1803 the grand jury charged Fanny Curtis, Polly Burrough, Levena Holder, Sally Ruth and Elizabeth Savage for bastard children.2 
NoteB On 20 October 1807, Justices Masters and Bain issued a summons to apprehend Archibald Harrison, based on the testimony of Fanney Curtice that she was delivered of a male child and that Harrison was the father; this could be Hiram, although there is a three year gap between this date and Hiram's birth in January 1804.1 
NoteB In the February 1808 term of the Randolph County Court, "Archibald Harrison came into open Court and gave bond with Benj. Elliott . . . his security for the maintenance of a bastard child of which he is charged as being the father begotten on the body of Fanny Curtice. Isaac Lane to pay the fine."3 
NoteB On 1 May 1819, Fanny Curtice, John Kivett, A. Sampson, Wm. Dick and Thomas Pugh posted $500 bond, as she had refused to divulge the name of the father of her recent born son.1 
NoteB* In May 1823, Benjamin Elliott brought an ejectment action against Miss Fanny Curtis for land on Rocky River on Salisbury Street and adjacent lot # 12.4 
Census*She appeared on the census of 1830 at Second Regiment, Randolph, North Carolina, page 66, 1 male 10-14, 1 female 40-49, should be 50-59.5 
CensusShe appeared on the census of 1840 at Northern Division, Randolph, North Carolina, page 118, age 60-69, living alone.6 
NoteB* "ordered that Fanny Curtis be allowed twelve dollars & 50 c for nursing and buriing [sic] Harrison Curtis."7 
Death*She died between 1845 and 1850 at Randolph, North Carolina; not present in 1850 census.8
