Documentation: Joseph is probably one of the earlier children.  We do not
have a birth date, place or any other information on him.  Other
information comes from 19th century Châteauguay valley Protestant Church
registers Southwestern Québec: Huntingdon county and the seigniories of
Beauharnois & Châteauguay (baptisms of 7 of the children); copies of
vital records and census records including the 1842 census for
Hinchinbrooke Canada which shows Benjamin Curran as a schoolmaster who
had been in Quebec, Canada for 16 years.  Other information comes from
Cheryl Curran Armstrong.  Also have newspaper obits and articles for
Sarah Ann Curran Mansfield and some of her children.
