"Daniel, the fourth child of James and Jerusha McCurdy, was born in 1698. He married Rachel McGill (a sister of his brother Andrew's wife Mary). He is sometimes known as of "Caramore." This seems to be in a manner synonymous with the "Cabry." Possibly the latter is a more local name than the former, perhaps the name of a farm. Robert, the youngest son of this Daniel, is also described as of the "Cabry"; and the conclusion is permissible that Robert took over the farm lease of the Cabry when his father became ill. We know that from a letter he wrote his son Alexander, then in Nova Scotia, he was in poor health in 1763, and addressed his letter from Bellyhelly. Daniel and Rachel (McGill) McCurdy had four children, namely Alexander, known as "the Pioneer," born 1734; Peggy, born about 1736; David and Robert. Of these, Alexander, "the Pioneer," moved to Nova Scotia with his sister Peggy in 1762. With them is begun the history of the Nova Scotia branch of the McCurdy family, taken up in a separate volume already alluded to."
