The Search for William Cure - The Revolutionary Patriot

The Cure Family has published a book called "The Cure Family." In this book, the progenitor is William Cure, born in England and died in New York. There is War Record recorded at the beginning of the book which indicates that said William Cure served in the Revolutionary War in Captain Samuel Sacket's Company for the New York Regiment. Also, designated 4th Battalion, New York Forces commanded by Henry B Livingston. The record also shows William Cure served as a Sargent in Capt. George Brinkerhoff's Company, Col. Dirck Brinkerhoff's Regiment, New York Militia, Duchess County. William Cure is also listed as serving in Abraham Brinkerhoff's New York Milita, Duchess County, New York.



The intent is to document whether or not he had a son named John Cure, father of William Cure Jr. born in 1805 in New York, who married Elizabeth Jones in 1804.

This is a very slow process

Now that I am learning more tools and how to search with " " in my research with Google, not to mention AND and using periods between dates, this is helping.  I recently found a William Cure who was colored, convicted of murder for talking the life of another colored back in the 1850's - I know for a fact this is not the right William Cure.  We sometimes read that a "package is delivered by some unknown person" - (the deceased individual) to the person doing the research for that deceased person - mini/huge miracles happen.  That's what I dream for.

    Wasn't that the most helpful information. I couldn't believe how many sources I stumbled upon while experimenting with the information in "Google Your Family Tree."

    Linda have you checked footnote.com to see if William has a revolutionary pension file? Sometimes they list their children.
