  4. My Maiden name is Diane Cureton - father was Darrell Cureton, Grandfather Oscar Cureton, Great-and Great, Great Grandfathers both name Richard (Anderson) Cureton - I am a direct descendant of Richard Cureton (ship Rebecca - 1685), from Granshill, Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England. I believe I am the 11th generation in the United States. Also related to Richard and William Cureton who fought in the Revolutionary War from GA. Love history (owned Cureton's Stone Quarry in Great Britain)!
