An extract from [TN]107: “The Curteis family came from Appledore in 16th century, William Curteis who died in 1582 was twice married, first to Joane Bunting, and secondly to Joane Pattenden. His second son Thomas was Bailiff in 1598, Mayor in 1606, he married a Short. The eldest son William, like his father, was twice married, some of the descendants of the first wife left Tenterden, among them have been several Rectors of Sevenoaks, the Misses Curteis, who were nieces to Jeremiah Cliffe, and lived next the Town Hall 100 years ago, belonged to this branch. This Wm. Corteis was Mayor in 1603, his son Robert (by his second wife) in 1632, and grandson in 1658. George Curteis Mayor in 1699, was the youngest son of George, Mayor 1658, and from him are descended the late Canon Curteis, the existing Tenterden family of Curteis, the Beales and the youngest generation of Maces.
Going back to 1621, Stephen Curteis, who was Mayor that year was son to the second wife of the Wiliam who died 1582; he married Elizabeth Shorte, his grandson was Mayor in 1663 and 1668, and great grandson in 1696. Representatives of this branch are to be found in the Curteis family of Rye, the Peels and the Pomfrets. Edward Curteis, M.D., whose "Charity" is a well known institution in Tenterden, was grandson to Jeremiah, Mayor in 1696, and first cousin to Jeremiah of Rye, and to his brother Richard
who bought Morghew from the Colepeppers in 1781, and later took over the Heronden estate. These two brothers married two Misses Giles, members of a Biddenden Family.
Richard Curteis was the largest ratepayer in the Borough 100 years ago, and did not hold the Corporation of Tenterden in great respect, for he said he did not care who was Mayor, he would be King. One of his daughters married Mr. Wm. Croughton, the other Mr. J. B. Pomfret, also connected with Biddenden, where the uncommon name Virgil borne by his son, who died in 1875, may be traced in parochial references to the family many years before.”
