The unusual name is explained by the union of the Diamond and Currier families of Star Island. His father was Richard Currier, his mother Elizabeth Diamond. Some effort needs to be made to estimate his birth date, as this would tend to put a lower limit on the birthdate of his wife Eleanor Uran. Town and church records on Star Island begin only in 1732, so we are undoubtedly missing the names of some children. There are so many Currier families in the Star Island records as to make it impossible to sort them all out.
[611] Date of administration granted to Thomas Cannington, Boston merchant. The inventory of L 409 2 s was filed 08 aug 1732. No heirs are named in the surviving court papers.
