The direct line of descendents to Joseph Curling (b.1646 d. 1719), the patriarch of the Curling/Curlin family of America, is through John's son, Richard of Chilton (b.1420-d. 1463), and his wife, Cecilia, seven generations before. The Curlings were a prolific family, siring many children whom they tended to name alike generation after generation. Most of the family lived within St. Laurence Parish, so most of the genealogical records are associated with St. Laurence (Lawrence) Church. Over thirty headstones in the Parish cemetery bear the names of Curlings. Curlings also lived within the parishes of St. Peters in Broadstair, St. John's in Margate and St. Mary's in Minister, Thanet. But until the late 18th century the family stayed close to Thanet and in Kent County. The Curlings were Protestants and "Roundheads," supporting Oliver Cromwell and Parliament in the Reformation.
