Curwen family.
Biographical notes:
Samuel Curwen (1715-1802), Tory diarist, graduated from Harvard in 1735 and returned to his home in Salem, Mass., to engage in trade and real estate. He was a captain under Sir William Pepperrell in the expedition to Louisbourg but had to resign his commission. Until the Revolution, he occupied a socially prominent position in Salem and made his living by trade. As his Toryism became public knowledge, he was threatened with violence, and in May 1775 he sailed for England, where he remained for the duration of the war.
