    1. Re: Goodwife Knapp's Spouse
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/TZ.2ADE/15.2043.1.1 Message Board Post: I imagine you're referring to Jacobus' assumption, which is the one I go on as well. My brother researched this line before I got involved, and he listed "Goody" as Roger's first wife (Elizabeth Dickerson/Dickenson being #2), but didn't give his source. You do know Goody was hanged as a witch, right? Although she maintained to the end that she was not. The only thing I have that you may not is this: From: History of the Town of Leeds, Androscoggin County, Maine, From Its Settlement June 10, 1780 Chapter III. Early Settlers and Their Families. Knapp Family. In 1630, a large colony of well-to-do farmers left England under the command of Winthrop and Salstansall and landed on the coast of Massachusetts. Of the number were three brothers,namely: William, Nicholas and Roger Knapp. William, who was born in England, in 1570, settled in Watertown,Mass. His children were William, Mary, Elizabeth, Ann,Judith, John and James. They and their children settled later in Taunton, Roxbury, Newton, Boston and Spencer, Mass. Nicholas settled in Watertown, and his children by his first wife, Eleanor, were Jonathan, Timothy, Joshua, Caleb, Sarah,Ruth and Hannah. In 1648, he removed to Stamford, Conn.,where by his second wife, Unity, his children were Moses and Lydia. His children settled in Norwalk, Greenwich, Rye, Peekskill,Danbury and other neighboring towns. Roger settled in New Haven, and later in Fairfield, where by his will he mentions his wife, Elizabeth, and children, Jonathan,Josiah, Lydia, Roger, John, Nathan, Eliza and Mary. They settled in the towns of Fairfield County. I descend from Josiah and Moses' brother Daniel. Jeanne
