General Notes:
GERMANNA_COLONIES Mailing List on 14 December 2000:
"It turns out that the name Curt is a nickname of Conrad. This may be surprising to us English speakers, but it is no more strange than Dick being a nickname of Richard, or Bill being a nickname of William.
"Little Curt" is Curtle/Curtli and the like. English speakers use a variation of this idea by dding an 'ee' sound to the end of a name, e.g., Billy, Stevie, Bobby, etc. The name Curtli could be rendered any number of ways by English speakers. Courtley is certainly among them, and it's only a tiny leap to get to Courtney or Cotley.
Conrad married Margaret Rausch about 1735 in Orange Co, Virginia. (Margaret Rausch was born about 1710 and died about 1800 in North Carolina.)
