He owns his home. On April 1, 1935 they lived in rural Pontotoc Co.
John N. McCurdy said repeatedly in the census that he was born in Arkansas. He was born in 1866. In the 1870 census there is no plausible unaccounted-for boy with surname 'McCurdy' in Arkansas. William K. McCurdy of Washington Co. is missing in the 1870 census. In 1880 his widow Mary and her two youngest children are living with her son Samuel. One of those two children is Thomas, aged 14. It's a bit of a stretch to conjecture that Thomas and John N. are the same person, but in 1900 John N. McCurdy is living in Indian Territory very close to James H. McCurdy, who is a son of William K. McCurdy. He would be John's brother. And in 1920 John N. McCurdy is living in Pontotoc Co., Oklahoma close to Charles F. McCurdy, who is a son of the eldest son of William K. McCurdy. He would be John N. McCurdy's nephew.
Maybe the census taker in 1880 was confused about the name. William K. McCurdy's eldest son was named Thomas J. McCurdy. It is very strange that a younger son would also be named Thomas.
