This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Knapp, Hoyt, Ferris, (Ostrander, Bouton) Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/TZ.2ADE/4842.2.1.1.1.3.1.1 Message Board Post: Well, except for the Ostranders, which you and I have already explored, I don't recognize any of the surnames you've mentioned. So, if we do have a link it's probably with the Knapp, Ferris, Hoyt connection. My Ferris married a Hill. Unfortunately, I haven't done any of my own research on these lines. I'm depending on work that some distant Hill cousins have done, and haven't proven my own link to it yet. All in good time. :) Nice to hear from you again.
