Marriage*

William Riley Curtis married Isabella Smith on 16 December 1860 at Monroe, Tennessee.^6,7

DeathExp

William served in the Confederate Army and was captured at Vicksburg on July 4, 1863. He was murdered in his parents home on July 4, 1864 by bushwhackers.
The Curtis Family Cemetery was begun when David Burton "Burt" Curtis and William Riley Curtis, Confederate Soldiers and sons of James and Nancy Hagler Curtis, were murdered . They were buried on a small hill in back of the house. One of their wives was raped. Their brother, Hezekiah "Henry" Wilson Curtis, hunted down and arrested one of the murderers, John Denton.

Even though the family was against slavery, due to the need for a mother figure they acquired a slave woman who was allowed to marry a man on a neighboring farm. They had several children. Many of the Confederate buttons were found (and the probable graves of Burt and Riley Curtis) were slaves, identified by the bones. It is probable these were the graves of the Curtis slaves. Family members said it used by the neighborhood as a slave cemetery.
