In two areas, I have found conflicting data. Can anyone straighten me out? 1. Between Robert Knappe 1537-1617 and Nicholas Knapp 1592-1670, was there an intermediate John Knapp 1560-1604? Did this JOhn marry Martha Blois 1565-? to become parents to Nicholas? 2. Was NIcholas Knapp the father of Ruth Knapp 1641-1702 by Elinor Lockwood or by Alice Howlat? 3. From Jeffrey Ferris 1610-1666 to Peter Ferris 1700-1754, was the sequence a) Jeffrey, Joseph 1638-1699, John 1658-1741 (who married Abigail Hoyt 1675- ?), Peter 1700-1754 OR b) Jeffrey, Joseph 1635-1736 (!!),Joseph 1657-1733, Peter 1698-? ??
