Notes for Jeremiah Curteis
Of Tenterden and Rye.
(From the Sussex Record Office, the Senior Archivist. 2003)
“The Curteis family were originally from Tenterden in Kent. Jeremiah Curteis (1735-1806) established himself as an attorney in Rye, where he was Town Clerk from 1756 to 1800; he also served as steward of the Frewen's estate at Brickwall in Northiam. Both he and his son, Edward Jeremiah Curteis (1762-1835), purchased extensive estates in the Rye area and also at Tenterden, Goudurst, Hawkhurst and in Romney Marsh.
From 1807 their principal residence was Windmill Hill Place in Wartling. The marriage of Jeremiah's daughter Martha to Robert Mascall in 1790 and the marriage of Caroline Sarah Mascall to Herbert Barratt Curteis in 1828 brought them an interest in the Peasmarsh Place estate. “
This family appears last in Burke’s Landed Gentry, 1952 edition [50].
