"We now return to John (249) the second son of Samuel and Elizabeth (Gray) McCurdy. He came to America about the same time his father did, in 1771-72, but is said to have preceded his father in immigrating. The following record of his emigration is still preserved in the family in his own handwriting:

"I sailed from Larne (26) Nov. 1771, and landed at New York the 15th of January, 1772."

He is believed to have been named for his uncle John our ancestor; was educated in Ireland at his uncle's expense, and had been invited by him to come to this country; and was employed for a time in his uncle's shipping business, but gave that up, and went to Surrey, and afterwards in 1820, to West Concord, Vt. He married January 31st, 1788 Sarah Watts; and died January 11838, at the age of eighty-eight years, having had nine children,"
