Isles of Shoals, NH, USA, 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.⁴

Biography

Whittier:"Son of Richard and Elizabeth [Weymouth] (Diamond) Currier of the Isle of Shoals, and the inventory of whose estate was filed 8 Aug. 1732"

Noyes: "fisherman, adm. to creditors 13 May 1731. Perh. hus. of Eleanor (Urine) who by 1735 had m. Abraham Crockett."

McCoy: "The only record of her children by her first husband, Diamond Currier, is contained in the will of Nathaniel Lord of Gosport, 03 Mar 1725/26. His wife was Elizabeth Diamond, widow of Thomas Currier and mother of Diamond and Weymouth Currier. Lord gave 10 pounds to Diamond Currier's son Richard.
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."^1,5,4
