Biographies of Scott County, 1888 Benjamin S. Curd Benjamin S. Curd was born in Kentucky, in 1833, and is a son of Charles and Sarah (Martin) Curd, natives of Virginia and England, respectively. The Curd family immigrated to the United States from Ireland, and located in Virginia, from whence they removed to Kentucky, where the parents of our subject died. The latter came to Missouri in 1856, and located on Price's Landing, on the Mississippi River. He was engaged in shipping grain until the Civil War, and for a short time after the close of the war. He then removed to Point Pleasant, Mo., and engaged in the same business, but after a short stay there he removed to New Madrid County and remained until 1869, when he removed to Morley, Scott County, where he has since resided, engaged in merchandising. He was married in 1856 to Miss Kate Price, of Price's Landing, a daughter of Archie A. Price, a cousin of Gen. Price, and Mary Hunter, a daughter of Col. Abram Hunter.
