I am looking for information on Reuben Knowlton's 2nd wife Sarah/Sally. He married her on 20 Nov 1799 in Belfast, Hancock, Maine. She is listed as Mrs. Sally French in the records. I think she may be the widow of Nathaniel French, who died 1 July 1797 in Belfast. Looking for more proof and list of her children with Nathaniel French.

I've actually connected Alexander KNOWLTON to our family now. As I recall he was an architect. The updates may appear on my web pages.

I will gladly exchange information with any individual researching the BUGBEE or KNOWLTON lines.

so you have nothing to learn from it.
However, this looks as if it is he on Ancestry:

are two citations to obituaries of an Irene Knowlton in Colorado that appeared in the Denver Public Library 1939-1940 Obituary Index
Rocky Mountain News and Denver Post
Copyright (c) 1994 by John Chandler Clement, Denver, Colorado.
After searching extensively, I note two Irene/Emily Knowltons in Denver in the 1900 census with different birth dates, etc. One is a clerk; the other, a stenographer. Still might be the same person. Also, an Emily Knowlton, also single, is a servant (could be housekeeper or companion to older person) in a Kane Co., IL, household in 1930, aged 68. Since no identifiable person appears before 1900, I wonder if your Irene/Emily Knowlton may have been married and kept that name but said she was single in census after she left/divorced husband.

As part of a project to add the descendants of Abraham Knowlton b 1750 to my database, I have collected quite a bit of published information about this ME minister and would like to share it with his descendants or near relatives. Chauncey and his wife both graduated from Ohio Wesleyan College in 1855. His mother was Elizabeth Carter, born in NJ, married in Brooklyn, NY, dau of Chauncey Carter; and I would like to know more about the Carters also.

Re: Timothy Knowlton born 1720; died ???; Wife ???

Encanto59 — 2009-10-25 21:37:20Z

i have not researched/extended the line of Knowlton that you asked about; my Knowlton line breaks off with Mary Knowlton who md. Jonas Clark. So that is where we split.
The closest I have come (?) is to make a list on my database of all the Ephraim Knowltons I could find, hoping to connect some of them and make sense out of all those messed up in "the books" we used - but still many un-connected to any family.

It appears tht you have the same information I have on Timothy 1720 with still nothing found as to his wife's surname, their deaths and anything else. He seems not to have left a paper trail or a trail of any kind. He certainly is not where he should have been found.

Encanto59 — 2009-10-25 20:43:25Z

OK - so have you been able to find answers to these questions that I have not, for Timothy born 1720:

Who did he marry and where? When did they die? Were there other children besides Timothy [also mine], and Ebenezer? Did he leave a will? Where did he really live? Anything??

These are really the only questions I have on the Knowlton ancestry at this time; I would like to get this Timothy nailed down to be able to find documents, burial place, a will. Anything! And find out who Sarah was.....

Re: Timothy Knowlton born 1720; died ???; Wife ???

katedenney — 2009-10-25 20:29:10Z

Yes, I am a direct decendent of Timothy Knowlton Jr. son of Timothy and Hannah Storey. He was born abt 1720 in Medway, Norfolk, Mass and married Sarah ?. He had at least two children: Ebenezer b. 1743 in Medway and died bef 1777 in Medway. He martried Mary Barber b. 18 Oct 17456 in MEdway and d. 14 Nov 1832 in Rowe Franklin Mass. and Timothy Knowlton III b. 1745 in Medway and d. 20 Jun 1815 in Belchertown, Mass. He married Sarah Merrifield b. 1 May 1745 in Boston and d. 20 Mar 1820 in Belchertown. It is this Timothy that I am decended from.

You can contact me and I will give you the rest of the information that I have.

Attached is a photo that has Irene Knowlton written in pencil in cursive, on the bak. It has no other identification. It was in my grandmothers Gillett Family photo Album. That branch of the Knowlton Family lived around Warren Co, Illinois but came from Mass & were descendants of Ephram Knowlton & Sarah Eldridge. There is one family note about an Emily Irene Knowlton, born Jan 1862 in Belveder, Boone Co, IL & died in Denver, CO. I just found Emily, in the 1900 census there. Other than that I have no clue who the Irene in the photo is. So I ask the Knowlton Family to help.

http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nychauta/
is the NYgenweb site for Chautauqua county. It is not that everything is on line but that there are people willing to help you find things, both here and in places like public libraries. You may need to call or write a letter as well as use email, but you do not need to order every document to find out something. Knowlton is such a rare name that looking at an index for the town in that 5 yr period would probably identify the man. Be sure to scroll all the way down the pages as well as click on everything as I see a person offering to help at the bottom of the first page.

Re: Husband of Gertrude (Greeley) Knowlton -- Chautauqua County, NY

FoxxTrotter — 2009-08-05 03:38:39Z

It would hard to obtain a death record without a name and not knowing where the person died, especially when most Chautauqua County townships charge $22.00 for the research and/or document. Secondly, Gertrude Greeley is not a direct relative of mine. In regards to her second marriage, I still need to find out when and where she got married to John Swanson. I have been looking at the Dunkirk newspaper articles. Unfortunately, the online listings are limited. Anyway, I'll find out eventually.

Re: Husband of Gertrude (Greeley) Knowlton -- Chautauqua County, NY

winspeare — 2009-08-04 17:51:21Z

Well, I find her married to the new husband on the 1900 census, just that year--how irritating. Her Knowlton husband must have died between 1895 and 1900. Have you tried writing/calling/emailing the town for his death record? And her second marriage record? Rootsweb's US sites for particular places give you lots of contacts. Don't depend entirely on Internet as much more is out there. Try posting on county bulletin board as well as this surname one. The resources I have do not go much past 1880s. No 1890 census survives, so you must look for other records.

Re: Myron (Mack) Knowlton

winspeare — 2009-04-01 02:07:06Z

I think Frances may be Frances Lefarer, a lodger in Windsor, VT, in 1900. Do an ancestry search on Frances Lef*
Of course she is not with family (apparently) and is born after the 1880 census, so we don't know her parents. I saw a likely family with yet a different Lef* spelling that included a son Charley. The mother had had 7 children, 3 living. Vermont probably has birth/baptism records you could check. If Myron Knowlton came from Nova Scotia and not Quebec, I would think he was part of the Advocate group. I wish you would join the Knowlton list as we would all respond lots quicker, and the list has had very active Advocate descendants.

The Rootsweb.com is not the mailing list you refer to; it will not ask for any addresses, nor are we all from Ireland. Use the url I printed above, but make it all one line. On that page it will tell you how to subscribe. Women do not have y-DNA, so only the Knowlton male can participate in the study.

Re: Myron (Mack) Knowlton

winspeare — 2009-03-31 18:19:04Z

I want to encourage you to join the Knowlton mailing list at rootsweb.com Many of us are reading your message posts because they are gatewayed to the Knowlton list. Since you have a long Knowlton line, we are all interested in it and can discuss it more readily than having to come to this message board, sign in, etc. I have not checked the items mentioned yet, but could birthplace be written NS on the census and be misread as NB or NE for Nebraska? Are there any living male Knowltons from this line who could participate in our y-DNA study?

Husband of Gertrude (Greeley) Knowlton -- Chautauqua County, NY

FoxxTrotter — 2009-07-20 17:53:11Z

I'm trying to find out the name of Gertrude Greeley's first husband. She was a daughter of Charles and Emma Greeley, who was born in Chautauqua County, New York in June 1871. Her first husband had the last name of Knowlton and the two had five children...Grace (1889-1965), Florence (1891-1977), Emma (born 1892) and twins Ira (born 1895) and Irene (1895-1979). Gertrude later married John C. Swanson of Sweden and had another child, Leola (born 1905). I haven't been able to find much information on the U.S. Census reports or the Dunkirk newspapers articles that are online. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. :0)

I have copied and pasted your message on another board I belong to and hope to find some info for you. I am researching Knowltons in Ontario also but so far they are not connected to yours.

Re: KNOWLTON, STRINGER

Forloveofthefuture — 2009-03-31 11:34:22Z

Thought I would update this message-Since the last post I have been in contact with and met living dscendants of the Stringer side of my family from England.
I am still looking for information on relatives in england. What I know is-GGgrandfather was James Knowlton, who drowned in Bath, Sept/1870- His wife was Letitia Stringer, daughter of Robert Stringer and Elizabeth Porter. They(James and Letitia) married in 1858 in Stepney. Their third son was my G grandfather, Alfred Walter Knowlton(b. 1863 St. Pancras, Middlesex). Apparently Alfred lived with his Uncle John after his mothers death in 1878. Alfred himself gave the address as "in Drury Lane". I know there were more children of James and Letitia. There was John Joseph Knowlton(c.1859), James William Knowlton(c.1861), Alfred Walter Knowlton(c.1863), Letitia Knowlton(b.1868-d.1870)finally a second LetitiaKnowlton(b.1870-d.1872). There is time between 1863 and 1868 for another child but at this point I haven't found one. Alfred's mother remarried in 1874 to John Longworth, son of John Longworth, in St. Pancras. Mother Letitia died in 1878 as did John Longworth. There may be children to that marriage. Alfred came to Ontario, Canada in July, 1886 via Dr Barnardos organisation. There is a large Knowlton connection here, my mother Helen would be his granddaughter. If anyone knows anything please let me know. Also if anyone wishes information on my Knowlton connection let me know.

Re: Myron (Mack) Knowlton

mhbufo — 2009-03-31 18:51:02Z

I had an email from the Knowlton family mailing list and it is my understanding that those Knowltons originated in Ireland. I've nothing to indicate to me that my Knowltons would be related. I did try to join and it got me when it asked me my ip address, etc.....didn't know what that was....obviously not a geek. No, that census clearly says Nebraska...that was the 1910, the 1920 said Canada and Nova Scotia, which is what I was always told. I wondered if the census taker copied something that had been written as NS though. That's a good thought and may explain it. I checked the Nova Scotia genealogy site as another poster recommended and I believe that what he thought was "Mack" on that list was actually "Mark". When I search, I usually just use M Knowlton, but haven't come up with a match anywhere except those two census sites. I've wondered how he (and my grandmother) wound up in Helena. It is on the Mississippi River and I suppose they could have traveled down the river, stopped there and stayed. I only know of one male survivor of this family and his mother abandoned him when he was about 3. He was raised by his Father's aunt (not the Knowlton side) and he has pretty hard feelings, so probably would not participate. Is it only male DNA that is useful?

Re: Myron (Mack) Knowlton

mhbufo — 2009-03-31 12:48:18Z

I can't tell you how much I appreciate your interest. I couldn't find any LeFars in Vermont either. Did find some in New York, which I found interesting because most were grocers and that's the business my grandparents were in in Helena, Arkansas. One of the most curious parts of this to me is just what you mentioned. How in the world did they wind up in Helena, Arkansas? My story gets even more complicated because my paternal grandfather immigrated from Liverpool when he was a teenager and also wound up in Helena. His name was Harcourt. That history is elusive also. The only solid piece of evidence I have is my grandmother's death certificate. I am sending off today for a copy of her social security application and am hoping that will shed some light. I don't know if either of my grandfathers were ever naturalized...can't find any records of it. I truly don't know where to start, have pored over passenger lists and immigration records to no avail. I'm thinking that both grandfathers may have fudged some information along the way. My father died when I was six months old and my mother did not stay in close touch with his family, so I have little help in that search. Her father (Knowlton) moved away and she didn't even know where he went. Another brick wall. I'm still trying though and so much appreciate your help and your interest.

Re: Myron (Mack) Knowlton

mhbufo — 2009-03-31 03:14:36Z

I have seen both the census (censuses censi?) you mention. It is true, one says born in Canada and parents in Nova Scotia and one says all born in Nebraska. That really confuses me....makes me wonder if whoever wrote that just put something down. I will check the Nova Scotia record you mentioned. My Mother was Alice and her mother (Frances) maiden name was LeFar....that Carl LeFos is listed as a brother in law, so I think his name was probably LeFar. I really appreciate your responses. I haven't found any record of his ever being in Canada or crossing the border, but my mother told me that he was born in Quebec. After her parents split, she didn't know where he went or if they were ever actually formally divorced. She always told me his name was Myron, so he must have gone by Mack. I have searched Ancestry.com, but will search the other too. I also can't find anything on my grandmother, Frances Louise LeFar (other than those two censuses). She was born somewhere in Vermont. I have her death certificate but the information on it was furnished by my mother's sister and she didn't know much, so there are no parents' names, etc. I'm not even sure whether she spelled her name Frances or Francis...and not entirely positive that LeFar is spelled that way. I know, I'm sure stabbing in the dark here.

Myron (Mack) Knowlton

mhbufo — 2009-03-30 05:06:57Z

My grandfather was Myron aka Mack Knowlton. All I know is that he said he was born in Canada and that his parents were born in Nova Scotia. He married Frances Louise LeFar from Vermont, probably in the early 1900's. They resided in Helena, Arkansas, and probably operated a grocery store. He separated from Frances (I don't know if they were officially divorced) and moved from Helena, but I don't know where, possibly somewhere in Mississippi. I am searching for any information anyone might have on him and appreciate your help.

Robert Knowlton about 1800 to 1886

ecohoe — 2009-07-30 20:25:20Z

Robert Knowlton was said to have been born in Ballyboy, County Offaly, Ireland. He came to Montreal Canada and eventually to Toronto where he died. His wife, whom he married in Montreal was also from County Offaly. Her name was Mary Ann Whitaker, (1811-1870). I have been unable to find any information about Robert's family in Ireland and this is the reason for my posting this message.

Mary Ann Whitaker's death notice stated that her father was William Whitaker of Edenderry, and her grandfather was the Rev. Mr. Chamberlain of Ballycommon...all in County Offaly.

Any information about these families from County Offaly, Ireland would be appreciated.

Sorry to reply so late, but I just found this list again. Asenath Willson actually IS my gg grandmother, and was married to Knowlton Mitchell, and her Grandmother was Asenath Knowlton, Roswell Knowlton's daughter. So, we have Knowlton's grandmother being Susanna Knowlton, and his wife, Asenath's great grandfather being Roswell, Susanna's brother. So, I am decsended from the Knowltons through both of these great-great grandparents. Confused? I am!

In any case, they both ended up in southern Wisconsin in 1854 (Hillsborough, now called Hillsboro) and are buried in Hillsprairie Cemetary, along with most of our Mitchell relatives.

I have hashed out the Mitchell and Willson lines a bit for anyone who is interested, at least as they apply to my direct line- Maybe they might apply to someone else as well. All I know from Knowlton Mitchell and Asenath (also spelled Asenith in WI on various papers) They had moved from New York, probably in the 1840's. They were in Jefferson county, WI census in 1850, and finally moved to Bad Axe County, WI (later re-named Vernon County, after the battle of Bad Axe, which was a native American massacre that tainted the County) in 1854, which is what was on the Farm deed, signed by Franklin Pierce (His secretary, no doubt). The farm is still in the Mitchell family and they milk around 900 head of holsteins on about 1000 acres. No doubt that Knowlton and Asenath were both named after their grandparents, respectively. They are buried in Hillsprairie Cemetary, Cty Hwy F, Hillsboro, WI 54634.

Re: Charles Knowlton who died in UK 1848

Further to my 'post' yesterday - I have found an entry in 'Dorset Marriages provided by Dorset Family History Soc.
It reads:-

Date 20th Sept 1826
Groom Charles KNOWLTON
Bride Mary JOY
By Banns
Place Wimborne Minster, Dorset, England
Witnesses: DYKE Charles and CLARKE Elizabeth

The names and date look hopeful to be connected.

Charles Knowlton who died in UK 1848

Caroline_Wat — 2009-04-17 10:44:13Z

I have today managed to trace a copy of the will of Charles Knowlton who died in Braunston, Northamptonshire, England in August 1848, who I think is my 4 x Great Grandfather.

Until now I could only trace one daughter born to him and his wife Jane. This was Frances Hare Knowlton, who married Charles/Clarke Morris.

However, in his will he mentions a son Charles and another daughter Elizabeth wife of William Clarke.

I can find Charles Snr, Jane and Charles on the 1841 census, the only 'hint' that Charles had a son.

I would be interested to hear if anyone has any thoughts on this.

People generally naturalized so they could vote. This time is prior to social security obviously. I would check Nebraska records also as perhaps they were there briefly.
I'd check WWI draft cards also for him.
I'd also check variations of the Lefor name or soundex it.

I might have seen that at the Vermont State archives but can't say for sure. I saw some early records there for the Knowlton family, but was more focused on another family. I'd have to check that out.
I'm not sure if contacting Newfane for it would work.
Silas brought his family to Canada so the children would have been born in Vermont.

I looked for Lefar's in Vermont in the Census and didn't find any. That name sounds a bit French to me so I can see Vermont or an emigration down from French Quebec. There were loads of Knowltons in Quebec (Townships) also which is my Knowlton family. I go by the Vermont record office and travel to the Townships frequently so keep uncovering those rocks and maybe he'll be found. A wife from Vermont tends to make me think he ws from there or over the border. Census records can have bad info unfortunately.
Moving to Arkansas from the North is unusual also, not impossible just unusual. Confederate Veterans still being alive and all.

There's an MN Knowlton married to a Francis also in the 1910 census in Arkansas. Both this one and the previous one I mentioned were Grocers. This one had a daughter Alice if that helps.
I accessed this from Heritage Quest a search on ancestry might be better.

Re: Myron (Mack) Knowlton

fredchannell — 2009-03-30 23:41:12Z

According to a 1910 census for a Mack and Francis living in Arkansas he was born in Nebraska, and so were his parents.
I would try to get a death record and an obituary for both grandparents if possible.

Re: Myron (Mack) Knowlton

fredchannell — 2009-03-30 23:27:22Z

There is a Mack Knowlton listed on novascotiagenealogy.com
Born in 1865 I think it was. Just go to the website, search for him, and you may need to download the image viewer.
If you get a line 113 that is what I saw. I couldn't make out the parents names and other info with a quick look, but zoom the page or order the record and you should see it.
Good luck.

I just came across your message. My great grandfather was Charles Knowlton. His son Charles Knowlton was my grandfather and his son Robert Knowlton was my father.
