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.

Several William Cures' obviously!

While I have been researching "William Cure", I located a William Cure born in 1715-1718, married to Hannah Davis in New York.  This William Cure's father and mother are respectively - John Cure b. 1667 and Gerretje Cosyn b. 1682.  They were married in New York 24 Sept 1701.  They had several children, 13 to be exact, one being William Cure married to Hannah Davis.

William & Miss Secor

So far I have been able to identify that William married Miss Secor.  Research indicates that the Secors' were in France but also in New York area.  I found one document indicating that Miss Secor is "Elizabeth Secor."
