• Notes

  THE "CURLETTE" FAMILY By Mrs. Louis Hyman - nee - MARTHA GRACE CURLETTE Written July 10 1932 Information in square brackets [] added by Timothy Ryeland My Grandfather, Robert Emmett Curlette, had the Genealogical Chart that traced the Curlette family back to the reign of Henry IV of France [Dec 13, 1553 - May 14, 1610]. The Curlettes were French Huguenots and lived at Rochelle [La Rochelle], France, stronghold of the Huguenots. Many of them held important civic offices under the French government. King Henry IV was a Huguenot at heart, but for the peace of his kingdom, practiced the Catholic religion. He showed many favors to the Huguenots, and for his kindness to them, was assassinated by Reveille, a Jesuit [Fran (Research):Paid research undertaken by Joan Phillipson in Ireland May 2011. Email dated May 6th 2011 below. My thoughts: The likelyhood that he was from Downpatrick is small at this point, there seems to be little in the way of Curlett activity in Downpatrick. He could well be from Castlewhelan as the church records for that parish don't exist. The possibility still exists that Robert Emmet CURLETT was not his real name but one taken by him at a later date. The email from Joan: Dear Tim
