1801 – History of the Miami Baptist Association – biography of ElderJohn Gutridge (pages 134-135)
Elder John Gutridge was the first Baptist preacher in the upper MadRiver country, and may be noticed here. He was born in Washington, MasonCounty, Kentucky, as early as July 23, 1776. His opportunities for acquiring aneducation, at that place, in so early a day, were of course very limited and heowed most of his moral instruction if not literary, to a pious mother. Hemarried when a little over nineteen to a Miss Margaret Parkinson, of Washington,Kentucky, and who is still living in Fairfield, Green County, Ohio (1856), atan advanced age, but enjoying all her strength of mind and memory. Soon afterElder Gutridge’s marriage, he moved across the Ohio and settled in what is nowBrown county.
About this time, Elder Gutridge was brought to see and feel himself agreat and helpless sinner, and that without a change of heart he must beforever lost; but not until 1801 did he find peace in believing. Hiram Curry,by whom he was baptized in the Ohio River soon after, near, and I presume, infellowship with, Brook Church, three miles above Maysville. In 1805, he removedto Champaign County, Ohio, with his father’s family, and settled on King’sCreek, north of Urbana. In 1806, he with others, feeling their destitutionwithout a church, procured an Elder John Thomas to organize a church there.This was the beginning of King’s Creek Church, which has so long been theleading Baptist church in the Mad River country.  …

Invoking States' Rights, Hiram M. Curry

Hiram M. Curry, my great-great-great-great-great grandfather, was believed to have been born sometime between 1750 and 1760. Various locations of his birth have been reported, including Virginia, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania. Despite considerable research by several individuals, however, Hiram's parents are still unknown.

Hiram is believed to have served in the Revolutionary War under the commands of Brigadier General George Weedon and Major General Nathaniel Green at that Battle of Brandywine on September 11, 1777, although there has been no firm proof of Hiram's service.

After living a short period in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, Hiram married Sarah Reagan, a widow, around 1788, in Columbus, Franklin County, Ohio. To this union were born at least seven children: Rachel (Curry) Colver, Sarah Curry, Rebecca (Curry) Mark, Hiram M. Curry, Jane (Curry) Gutridge, Dr. Thomas M. Curry, and Providence Moyntz Curry. Rachel (Curry) Colver was my great-great-great-great grandmother.

The decendents of Hiram's seven children can be traced except for that of Sarah. Sarah is believed, however, to have married a Mr. Phillips and resided in Champaign County, Ohio. A newspaper article published in the May 25, 1810, Farmer's Repository published in Charles Town, Jefferson County, Virginia (now West Virginia) indicates that Mr. Phillips murdered his wife, Sarah:

A few days since, Mr. Phillips, (a farmer), near Urbanna, Champaign county, beat and abused his wife, (daughter of the Rev. Hiram M. Curry, late senator from Champaign) in such a shocking manner that she survived but two days. -- Mr. Phillips and his wife were not in the habit of quarrelling, but he having been intoxicated for several days, it is supposed led him to the perpetration of the horrid act. He is apprehended, and is now confined in Urbana jail. -- Such is the effect of intemperance.

This newspaper account, assuming it is true, likely explains the fact that little is known today regarding Sarah Curry, or whether Sarah was the mother of any children. I have been unable to find any other information concerning either Sarah or the Mr. Phillips mentioned in the above news item.

Hiram M. Curry led a rather interesting life. He was a Baptist minister and teacher in Mayslick, Mason County, Kentucky, at about the time of his marriage to Sarah Reagan. He was particularly noted for his very strict discipline as a teacher. Following his marriage to Sarah, Hiram is again found living in Mason County at least until 1802, after which time he is found to be living in Champaign County, Ohio, in 1806. In Champaign County, Hiram was still practicing as a minister, officiating several marriages and preaching sermons.

On February 17, 1809, Hiram M. Curry was appointed to the first Board of Trustees at Miami University in Ohio, and he was still serving in that capacity in 1814. In 1813, while living in Champaign County, Hiram was elected to the Ohio State Legislature where he is believed to have served at least two terms in office.

Between 1816 and 1820, Hiram M. Curry served as the fourth Treasurer of the State of Ohio. This position brought substantial noteriety to Hiram. As written in the 1883 book The History of Union County, Ohio [pp. 126-128]:

BANKING.
Up to the year 1817, Ohio had no banking system, and on the 28th of January of that year, the United States Bank opened a branch at Cincinnati, and yet another during the following October in Chillicothe. These branches found a large amount of business to transact, and while being of assistance in various ways to the State, also received a fine revenue themselves. The State therefore resolved upon a tax levy, and, in 1819, the branches were to pay $50,000 each, and the State Auditor was authorized to issue his warrant for the collection of the same.

The bank branches demurred, but the State was decided, and the banks were accordingly filed a bill in chancery, in the United States Circuit Court, setting forth reasons whereby their prayer that Ralph Osborn, State Auditor, should be restrained from making such collection, should be seriously considered.

Osborn being counseled not to appear on the day designated in the writ, an injunction was obtained, with the security given in the shape of bonds from the bank, to the amount of $100,000. On the 14th of September, the bank sent a commissioner to Columbus, who served upon the Auditor a copy of the petition for the injunction, and a subpoena to make an appearance before the court on the first Monday in the following January. Osborn submitted both the petition and the injunction to the Secretary of State, with his warrant for collecting the tax. Legally, the matter was somewhat complicated.

The Auditor desired the Secretary of State to take legal advice, and if the papers did not actually amount to an injunction, to give orders for the execution of the warrant.

The decision was that the papers did not equal a valid injunction. The State writ for collection was therefore given over to John L. Harper, with directions to enter the banking-house and demand the payment of the tax. In case of a refusal, the vault was to be entered and a levy made upon the amount required. No violence was to be used, and if force was used to deter the act, the same was to be reported to a proper magistrate and an affidavit made to that fact.

On September 17, Mr. Harper went about his errand, taking with him T. Orr and J. MacCollister. After securing access to the vault, a demand was made for payment of the tax. This was promptly refused, and a notice given of the granting of the injunction. This was disregarded, and the officer seized $98,000 in gold, silver and notes. This was placed in charge of the State Treasurer, Mr. H. M. Curry.

The officers were arrested and imprisoned by the United States Circuit Court, and the money returned to the bank. The case was reviewed by the Supreme Court, and the measures of the Circuit Court were sustained. The State, therefore, submitted. In the mean time, the Legislature had prepared and passed a resolution, as follows:

Resolved, by the General Assembly of the State of Ohio, That in respect to the powers of the Governments of the several States that compose the American Union, and the powers of the Federal Government, this General Assembly do recognize and approve the doctrines asserted by the Legislatures of Kentucky and Virginia in their resolutions of November and December, 1798, and January, 1800, and do consider their principles have been recognized and adopted by a majority of the American people.

Resolved further, That this General Assembly do assert and will maintain by all legal and constitutional means, the rights of States to tax the business and property of any private corporation of trade, incorporated by the Congress of the United States, and located to transact its corporate business within any State.

Resolved further, That the Bank of the United States is a private corporation of trade, the capital and business of which may be legally taxed in any State where they may be found.

Resolved further, That the General Assembly do protest against the doctrines that the political rights of the separate States that compose the American Union and their powers as sovereign States, may be settled and determined in the Supreme Court of the United States, so as to conclude and bind them in cases contrived between individuals, and where they are, no one of them, parties direct.

The bank was thus debarred from the aid of State laws in the collection of its dues and in the protection of its rights. An attempt was made to effect a change in the Federal constitution, which would take the case out of the United States Courts. This, however, proved ineffectual.

The banking system of Ohio has, by reason of State surveillance, not been subjected to those whirlwind speculations and questionable failures which have marked many Western States, in the establishment of a firm basis upon which a banking law could be sustained, with mutual benefit to the institution and the people.

This States' Rights dispute indeed found its way to the United States Supreme Court in 1824, in the case of Osborn v. Bank of the United States [22 U.S. 738]. This case was particularly important in that it was the first to limit the ability of a state to sue the federal government. This case is still cited frequently in States' Rights cases that make their way through the federal court system.

While serving as the Treasurer of the State of Ohio, Hiram M. Curry had the privilege of meeting with President James Monroe [see History of Franklin County Ohio by Opha Moore, pp. 137-138]:

In August, 1817, James Monroe, fifth president of the United States, visited the capital city of Ohio in his return from a journey through the Northwest, ostensibly to inspect the frontier defenses, but with the scarcely weiled, if incidental, object of strengthening his political defenses in the portion of the country traversed and impressing on the nation at large with the genius of their chief executive in the manner of finding facts for himself. Be it remembered that this was the same James Monroe who made a tour of the Northwest in 1787 and reported to Thomas Jefferson. "A great part of the country is miserably poor, especially that near Lakes Michigan and Erie; and that upon the Mississippi and Illinois consists of extensive plains which have not had, from appearances, and will ot have, a single bush on them for ages. The districts, therefore, within which these fall, will, perhaps, never contain a sufficient number of inhabitants to entitle them to membership in the confederacy, and in the meantime the people who settle within them will be governed by the resolutions of Congress in which they will not be represented."

At the time of the President's second visit Ohio and Indiana had already been admitted to the Union and had representation in Congress, and Illinois was preparing for statehood, in fact was admitted in time to participate in Mr. Monroe's second election. Every principle of statesmanship and policy dictated that the author of the above report to Mr. Jefferson should do something to dispel the feeling of antipathy that might be entertained by those powerful individuals and organizations interested in upbuilding of this same Northwest. At all events, the President of the United States, wearing a cocked hat, mounted on horseback, with his staff of military aides and secretaries, appeared in the public square of Worthington and was greeted by Colonel James Kilbourne, on behalf of the citizens of that village. Here the Franklin Dragoons, commanded by Captain Vance, met the presidential party, and escorted them to Columbus, where a formal reception was held in the new state house. The Citizen's Committee, having charge of the arrangements for the occasion, consisted of Lucas Sullivant, chairman; Abner Lorde, Thomas Backus, Senator Joseph Foos, A. I. McDowell, Gustavus Swan, Ralph Osborn, Christian Heyl, Robert W. McCoy, Joel Buttles, Hiram M. Curry, John Kerr, Henry Brown and Willam Doherty. Hiram M. Curry, the treasurer of state, delivered the address of welcome, and the President responded with compliments and statistics to the entire satisfaction of everybody.

It is believed that Sarah (Reagan) Curry died prior to 1821, as it is known that Hiram married a second time to Elizabeth Lane on August 30, 1821, in Franklin County, Ohio. By 1828, Hiram had moved to Tippecanoe County, Indiana, where his son Dr. Thomas M. Curry had moved and started a practice as a physician. In 1828, while probably in his late 60s or early 70s, Hiram was conducting religious services at a Universalist Church in Sheffield Township, Tippecanoe County, Indiana. It is known through historical church records that Hiram was the eighth minister to preach the Universalist faith in Ohio; when Hiram convereted his faith from Baptist to Universalist is unknown.

The last known location of Hiram is again in Sheffield Township of Tippecanoe County, Indiana, where he was still conducting religious services in the Universalist Church. It is believed that Hiram likely died in Tippecanoe County. Unfortuantely, no burial record or tombstone is known to exist in Tippecanoe County to mark his final resting place.
