The following information is as I have it in my files. Would appreciate any corrections, additions, etc, with SOURCES, please. Thank you, Fritz Knapp ------------------------------- Descendants of Peter Disbrow Generation No. 1 1. Peter1 Disbrow1,2,3,4,5 was born Abt. 1631 in [prob] England, and died 02 May 1688 in Rye, Westchester Co, CT [now NY]. He married (1) Sarah Knapp6 06 April 1657 in Stamford, Fairfield Co, CT7,8,9, daughter of Nicholas Knapp and Elinor. She was born 05 January 1638/39 in Watertown, Middlesex Co, MA10, and died 1681 in Rye, Westchester Co, CT [now NY]11. He married (2) Femy? Aft. 1681 in Rye, Westchester Co, NY [then CT]. She died in [prob] Rye, Westchester Co, NY [then CT]. Notes for Peter Disbrow: Whether or not Peter, in fact had a second wife named "Femy" or not has been a matter of question. Some researchers believe that "Femy" was a nickname used for his wife, Sarah (Knapp). In the absence of definite resources available to this compiler, and based on the research of Harry Macy, Jr, C.G., F.A.S.G., a second wife named "Femy" is indicated in this report with question mark, pending clarification and adequate sources to satisfy the claim one way or the other.

The source for her marriage to Peter Disbrow is contained in the Stamford, CT-Town Records, where the marriage is recorded twice, e.g., m. 6 Apr 1657. [see TAG [transcript] 10:44; 112]. There is no record of a marriage to John Disbrow as early writings so state. Statements in the book "History of Stamford-Darien (1868), by (Rev) Elijah B Huntington, :158 and the Nicholas Knapp Genealogy (1953), by (Dr) A.A. Knapp, :1, are ABSOLUTELY INCORRECT! The "History of Stamford-Darien" by Rev Elijah B Huntington, :58, is also in error stating that Peter Disbrow, married Sarah Chapman, about 1650, at Stamford, CT More About Sarah Knapp: Burial: 1681, Rye, Westchester Co, CT [now NY] CHURCH AFF: 2d Congregational Church, Stamford, CT Religion: Congregationalist RESIDED AT: Watertown, MA; [poss] Wethersfield, CT; Stamford, CT; Rye, CT [now NY] More About Peter Disbrow and Sarah Knapp: Marriage: 06 April 1657, Stamford, Fairfield Co, CT13,14,15 More About Peter Disbrow and Femy?: Marriage: Aft. 1681, Rye, Westchester Co, NY [then CT] Children of Peter Disbrow and Sarah Knapp are: 2 i.
