Second Annual Phillips/Knapp Family Association Reunion The Second Annual Phillips/Knapp Family Association Reunion will be held the weekend of September 9-10, 2006, in Rockland County. All persons descended from a Rockland County Phillips and/or Knapp are invited to attend. Most of our members are descended from Daniel, Eli, or Gilbert Phillips, the three sons of John Phillips and Sarah Knapp, or from Lebbeus Knapp and Rachael Storms. Daniel, Eli, Gilbert and Lebbeus were all patriots who served their new country in the Revolutionary War. Lebbeus is reputed to have had three brothers, Silas, Jonas, and Jared Knapp who also settled in Rockland County and have descendants. All are reported to have come to Rockland County from Horseneck (Greenwich), Connecticut. In an effort to locate more Phillips/Knapp descendants, we have established a website. It can be perused at www.tribalpages.com/tribes/phillipsknapp/ This site is still in the building stages; more names are being added every day. Anyone with information regarding a Phillips or Knapp family line not represented is asked to e-mail the reunion chairperson, Barbara de Mare (an Eli Phillips descendant) at BarbaradeMare@yahoo.com She can tell you if your line is missing solely because of the time restraints in adding names, or due to lack of information. Please put Phillips/Knapp in the subject box. Descent is all that is required to join our group; present surname is not important. Neither is it necessary to present proof of descent. We are a group who gathers for fellowship and community betterment; credentials are not checked! Last year the group with the help of the Town of Haverstraw, the SAR and the DAR restored and rededicated the old and abandoned Phillips/Knapp Cemetery on Birch Drive in Thiells where many of our forebears are buried. The project for this year is still under discussion. The reunion weekend will commence with a barbeque to which attendees are invited to bring a dish to pass. Hotdogs and hamburgers will be provided. There will be a pavilion in which family members may display their family trees, memorabilia, pictures, and anything else they wish to bring. Nothing is required except your presence. Come to the reunion and meet many cousins you never knew you had! For more information contact either the reunion chairperson Barbara de Mare at the address given above or Vicki Miller, membership chairperson, at avmofm@aol.com For those who prefer snail mail, write to Barbara de Mare at Harwood Lloyd, 130 Main Street, Hackensack, New Jersey 07601. We will be sending out more information in mid-July. Remember, we need your name and address (snail mail or e-mail) to send you information! Barbara L. de Mare, Esq. Historian, genealogist and attorney Harwood Lloyd, LLC 130 Main Street Hackensack, New Jersey 07601 (201) 359-3633 office BarbaradeMare@yahoo.com (home)

Center school as you know it as was built in 1926 per the book I have & from what I can tell, the original school was then used as part of the Trumbull Center Fire Department which late burnt down & they rebuilt. My uncles name is Richard DiDonato. He may have been the vice principal first but he also may have been the VP at Madison with Bob McCarthy. There are probably still a few teachers who are still teaching since you were there & I mean few. My dad is friends with quite a few of them too (he also worked for the Trumbull School system but as their accountant). Small world! Kerri

The firehouse is still there but newer & bigger & the siren still goes off at noon every day. I can even hear it from my parents house (they live by one of the other elemetary schools-Jane Ryan or it may have been called Park/Park Lane school). That library is no longer there & I think it is just part of the chruch that is there now. And yes, quite a bit has changed in Trumbull since you left. Do you remember if you went to Hillcrest or Madison for Jr High-or maybe they weren't named those yet? My uncle was a math teacher at Madison when it was the High School & he later became the principal of Hillcrest. Kerri

There was a fire house adjacent to the school playground and each day at noon they would test the siren at the station. I recall it being VERY loud. The school had a beautiful auditorium with a large stage... When there were air-raid drills we would all have to march down to the basement and line up in the halls which was suppose to protect us from "fall-out" if there was a real nuclear threat. The cafeteria was also in the basement. I have never known this school to have a different name, but since it was rather old already when I attended school there, then it is quite likely the name had been changed years before that. There was also a library on a small hill directly across the street from the school. Don't know if it is still there or not. I moved from CT to CA in 1973 and eventually Michigan. I have yet to go back to CT for a visit. We are planning a trip to Trumbull this September so I imagine a lot will have changed in the past 30+ years.

I found my book about Trumbull & it was published in 1997 (I think) from the Trumbull HIstorical Society. So I have been reading thru it-it is mainly pictures with stories under the pictures). I came across White Plains School upon flipping pages I found out the name was changed to Center School (not sure which year) but I do remember it as Center School (it was in the part of town called Trumbull Center & also on White Plains Road. Center School closed it's doors after the 1980 school year (I was in 3rd grade) & those students along with a few other schools that closed down went to the other elementary schools in town, mine being one of them. So there reallly was a White Plains School & there are some pictures in this book of the school & that school was later changed to Center School. It also said that the WPS annex was later part of the Trumbull Center Fire Dept. Which I can not remember if I have seen it as a young girl or in just pictures but that building burnt down (I want to say in the 1970's but I am not 100% sure). What stands now on the site of the school is a bank & office buildings. There is also a cemetary right next to it too. KErri

One Catholic cemetery in Stamford is St. John's, 25 Camp Ave. Darien (very close to Springdale). There may be others, but this is a big one. Good luck!

His parents were Cornelius HULL (bap. 13 Apr 1626 in Crewkerne, Somerset, Eng./ will dated 16 Sep 1695/ d. Oct 1695) & Rebecca JONES. Cornelius & Rebecca married 19 Nov 1653. Parents of the elder Cornelius were George HULL and Thamzen MICHELL/MITCHELL. Parents of Rebecca JONES were the Reverend John JONES and Sarah __(maiden name unknown__. It appears that George and Thamzen immigrated to America between the birth of their son Joshua who was christened in Crewkerne on 05 Nov 1630 and the birth of daughter Naomi who was christened at Dorchester, Suffolk Co., MA about 1632. Hope this helps.
