It is a Sherlock Holmes story
written by Arthur Conan Doyle
From Sir Charles Baskerville
To tell how the curse began.
Rodger Baskerville was the youngest of three brothers: Charles, a second brother who fathered Henry Baskerville, and Rodger himself. He was the spitting image of Hugo Baskerville, the man who's actions (circa 1650) and fate created the legend of their family. Known as the black sheep of the family, Rodger gained a bad reputation in England and left for Central America where he died in 1876 of yellow fever. Late in the story the reader learns that he had a son also named Rodger Baskerville. There is a third Rodger Baskerville, the son of the Hugo Baskerville who wrote the 'curse' manuscript dated 1742.
Said for a baskerville to not go on the moor at dark.
No, The hound that killed Charles Baskerville by giving him a heart attack and tried to kill Henry Baskerville was bought by Stapleton so it would look like the curse was real and nobody would suspect him when he tried to claim the baskerville fortune since he was in fact a Baskerville himself. So it was a hound but not the hound from the curse or legend as you might call it.

In "The Hound of the Baskervilles," Sir Henry Baskerville is the heir who comes to take over the manor after the death of Sir Charles Baskerville.

Sir Charles Baskerville and Selden, an escaped convict who is killed by mistake because the murderer thinks he is Sir Henry Baskerville. If you believe the curse, Hugo Baskerville (circa 1650) and the maiden he kidnapped are also victims.
Baskerville Hall is a fictional location featured in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes story, "The Hound of the Baskervilles." It serves as the ancestral home of the Baskerville family and is set in the English countryside, surrounded by moorland. The hall plays a significant role in the story's atmosphere of mystery and suspense, as it is linked to the legend of a supernatural hound that haunts the Baskerville lineage. The setting contributes to the eerie and gothic tone of the narrative.
Sir Henry Baskerville is Sir Charles Baskerville's nephew.
Jack Stapleton planned to inherit the Baskerville fortune by orchestrating the death of Sir Charles Baskerville and manipulating the circumstances surrounding Sir Henry Baskerville's return to the moors. He aimed to scare Sir Henry to death with the legend of the supernatural hound, which would ultimately allow him to claim the Baskerville estate. By disguising his true identity and connection to the family, Stapleton sought to eliminate any obstacles to his inheritance. His scheme was driven by greed and a desire for social elevation.
Chris Baskerville's birth name is Christopher Baskerville.
