Conchobhar Mac Curtain
Cornelius Curtain (Irish Gaelic: Conchobhar Mac Curtain) (1660-1724) was a Captain of Infantrymen in the Royal Irish Army of King James II. English records do list him on two occasions as a “gentleman”, meaning a landowner. He is listed as being present at the siege of Limerick, the Raid on Newry in County Down, as well as the king’s defeat at the Battle of the Boyne. Mac Curtain's rank is listed as “Captain”, in the service of Major General Alexandre de Rainier de Droue, Marquis de Boisseleau’s Infantry division in 1690. His home township is listed twice, once as “Mellyforttown”, and later as “Mallyfanstowne”, both times this township is said to be in northern County Cork. The former rendering of the name appears to be an archaic phrasing of the township now known as Mallow. No historic record notes this township, so it is unclear. In a French record of his great-grandson, he is called Cornelius Curtain of Muckrooa, County Cork. However, this locale is not ...

Florimond-Benjamin MacCurtain
Florimond-Benjamin MacCurtain was a French Politician and Soldier who gained notoriety during the late 18th and early 19th century.

He was quickly granted the rank of ‘Commissioner of War’ within the Army, and elected deputy of the Loire-Inferior to the Council of Five Hundred.

Green McCurtain
Greenwood "Green" McCurtain (November 28, 1848 – December 27, 1910) was a tribal administrator and Principal Chief of the Choctaw Republic (1896–1900 and 1902–1906), serving a total of four elected two-year terms. He was the third of his brothers to be elected as chief. (His older brothers Jackson Frazier McCurtain and Edmund McCurtain had previously been elected as chief, serving a total of three terms.) He was a Republican in the late 19th century, leaning toward allotment and assimilation when the nation was under pressure by the United States government, as he believed the Choctaw needed to negotiate to secure their best outcome prior to annexation. After 1906 and dissolution of tribal governments under the Dawes Act prior to Oklahoma achieving statehood, and the annexation of the Choctaw Republic by the United States, McCurtain was appointed as chief by the United States government. He served in that capacity until 1910 and his death in office. He was the last freely-ele ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Liam Mac Curtain An Dúna
Liam Mac Curtain an Dúna, also rendered as 'Uilliam MacCurtain', ''William Curtain'', ''Irish Gaelic: Mac Cairteáin an-Dúna'' or ''Liam an Dúna Mac Cairteáin'', ''French: Gulielmus Curtain'' (c.1668-Nov. 1724) was an Irish poet and scholar. His works remain primarily in print in the Gaelic tongue. Life and work While he was a member of the Macartan lineage from County Down, and descended from Eachmilidh Macartan, he is said to have been born in the town on Doon in County Cork, the son of Phelim Mac Curtain, an Ensign in the Army of King Charles II. However, which 'Doon' this is in Munster a matter of speculation, as it is a common prefix to Irish placenames. Mac Curtain appears to descend from the famous Lords of Kinelarty and appears to have been of some means among the Gaelic gentry. During the Williamite Wars he served in a Spanish cavalry regiment of King James II and the local MacCarthy or MacCartney lords in Desmond. He fought at the battle of Béal Átha Salai ...

McCurtain, Oklahoma
McCurtain is a town in Haskell County, Oklahoma, United States. The population was 357 at the 2020 census, a 30.8% decrease over the figure of 516 recorded in 2010. A coal mine disaster in 1912 killed 73 miners and ended McCurtain's prosperity. The mine explosion remains one of the worst disasters in Oklahoma history. History In 1889, coal deposits discovered in the area that would become southern Haskell County attracted some European miners and American entrepreneurs. They established a community called Panther, which was renamed in 1902 to honor Choctaw Principal Chief Green McCurtain. Another mining town, Chant, was established nearby, and the two began to grow together. McCurtain and Chant prospered after the Fort Smith and Western Railroad connected McCurtain with Fort Smith, Arkansas in 1901. The railroad was built westward until it reached the Canadian River in 1902. The San Bois Coal Company built four hundred company houses for miners living in McCurtain and Chant. By ...

Curtin (surname)
Curtin is a surname which is most common in the Province of Munster in Ireland. It takes several variant forms transliterated from the Irish language, such as: ''Mac Cruitín'', ''Mac Curtain'' or ''Ó Cruitin'', most of which are anglicised as ''Curtin''. The literal translated meaning of the Irish elements of the name are ''Mac'' (Son of) + ''Cruit'' (Crooked, and by extension hunchback, or an old name of the harp, by inference to the shape of the Irish harp) + ''-ín'' (signifying diminution), hence Little Hunchback, or Little Crooked One, but also Son of the Harp, or One associated with the art of the Irish Harp, which ties in with a traditional role in Gaelic culture. It is believed there are multiple Curtin families with different origins, the most famous of which is the bardic family which stems from Co. Clare. In the census of 1659 in Counties Cork, Kerry and Limerick similar sounding names such as Mac Curatine and O' Curataine were treated as synonymous although they ...
