"David Currier by name, was a native of the Green Mountain State, born in Rochester, Jan. 26, 1802. He was brought by his parents to New York State, and was reared in St. Lawrence County. His parents were of New England birth and Welsh ancestry, and the male members of the family for generations back were distinguished for their fine stature and their longevity."
His father "settled first near Potsdam, N. Y. and engaged in farming pursuits to which his son David was bred, and adapted himself readily to the pursuits of country life. The latter remained under the home roof until reaching manhood, and married Miss Mary Bradshaw, who was a native of Connecticut and of Scotch ancestry. She was about ten years of age when her parents removed from New England to the Empire State, and came with her husband to Illinois, making her home with her sons until called hence, Aug. 28, 1886, after she had arrived at the advanced age of nearly eighty years."
The "family... included four sons and one daughter."
