George William Currie is the 11th child and son of David and Dorothy (nee Estey)Currie.
George married Susan Elizabeth Sutherland on May 4 1840 in New Brunswick and together they raised 7 children.

George lived and worked with his father in law George Sutherland in Kingsclear, York County, NB. The family sapped the trees for Maple syrup to sell at market along with wool, produce, dairy and meat. They also worked with tanning, carpentry, growing grain and in the 1871 Hutchenson Directory and 1871 census it shows George Currie owned and operated a Grist Mill in Springhill, Kingsclear Parish, York County, New Brunswick.
By the end of his life he was considered an Esquire, noted by his daughter Clarinda Amelia who took care of her father in his last years at the home in Fredericton, New Brunswick.
George would travel to Larchmont, New York where his son George Emery and son Duncan Currie were living.

The Local people of the Kingsclear Parish in York County, New Brunswick say that a Dam was built in the St John River which flooded a burial ground close to the Currie Land. Some of the stones were placed elsewhere in the area and those who did not claim their Ancestors were left under what is now called The Head Pond. I have yet to find information written to this action however upon viewing the Upper Gagetown Cemetery, there I find a Memorial stone for the children of David and Dorothy Currie which one is George W Currie. Perhaps this is where his body was moved however a record of this needs to verify this fact.
George and Susan Currie's daughter Clarinda Amelia married Jacob William Babbitt and after her father's death the Babbitt family headed west to Alberta.
