Salathiel Curtis was the son of James & Elizabeth Coffinberry Curtis, husband of Mary Foreman Curtis, married November 12, 1811 in Ohio County, Virginia/West Virginia.
Salathiel Curtis was born in Ohio County, Va.; whither his father had come after marriage, from eastern Virginia, being among the early settlers of that County. At that time that section of the country was wild and unimproved, prowling Indians and fierce animals being yet troublesome, and many a time had the settlers to flee to the nearest blockhouse or fort to escape the attacks of the "Redskins." Salathiel Curtis was one of a large family born to this old pioneer. He received as good an education as could be given at the subscription schools of the neighborhood, and when he was about nineteen years of age he entered Jefferson College, in this County, where he was graduated. He then studied law, and was admitted to the bar of what is now West Virginia, becoming a member of the circuit. For some years, he practiced his chosen profession at Wheeling, and then returned to the old homestead farm, where he died. He had married Mary Forman, a native of West Liberty, Ohio Co., W. Va., and the children born to them were Joseph, James, Junius, Nancy (Mrs. Thomas Ray), and Ruth Eliza. (Mrs. Samuel Dunlap). Salathiel Curtis in his political connection was first a Whig, but afterward became a Democrat.
