Birth*

Amos F. (Bud) Curtis Jr. was born on 10 July 1856 at Wayne, Tennessee.^4,5,6,7

NoteB*

Bud's cemetery record says 10 July 1860,and he gave his age as 24 in March 1885 when he was married, which supports the 10 July 1860 date. However, he was present in the 1860 census, listed as age 3, and his brother William Riley was born 25 April 1860. July 10, 1856 is the correct interpretation of the 1860 census record. Perhaps he was embarassed by his age when he married and began a lifetime understatement of his age.^4,7,6
