Some Funny Shit

Seems George McCurley had to leave his previous residence due to his wife Elizabeth dying after having given birth to seven children who lived and God knows how many who didn't.  Dudes back then practically killed their wives and in fact did by forcing them to have sex and giving birth to more children than these poor women should have.  Childbirth wasn't the safest thing and claimed too many women's lives back then.  Well it seems after his wife died, her cousin by the name of Eliza moved in with him in spite of being married to another dude.  Ha ha ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  So he and this chick are shacking up and all hell breaks loose.  So they pack their shit and the kids and brother Jonas and his family and go West!!!!  Of course back then you could pretty much claim whoever the hell you wanted to be or claim you and some chick were married when you weren't because there was a lack of paperwork and offices to be filled with filing cabinets of paperwork.  Seems old Jonas didn't like living in Texas so much so he eventually moved to Oklahoma.  The family I believe was originally from Ireland and for some reason after settling in the U.S. had this habit of naming their kids after U.S. presidents like George Washington, Andrew Jackson, and James Madison.  What for, who the hell knows.
