Have Barnabas Knapp born 1859 mar: Georgina Read d:1940 Smith Falls ON He was a descendant of Joseph Knapp UEL and his son Barnabas Knapp. Joseph Knapp came from Albany NY after the Rev. War he was a Loyalist and received land in ON. No connection has been found farther back than that. Joseph was said to be born in England in ca 1743 and came to the States. Around 1783 he came to Canada. It is said the he is related to one of the NE lines but nothing there again so far. His second wife as Elizabeth Nettleton.

It has been a while since I have posted this brick wall. I am trying to find information on Cyrus W. Knapp. He was married to Hannah Conklin and they had a son, Samuel, born in 1856 in NY. He apparently was born in MA and died sometime before 1859 as she remarried Gilbert Smith in 1859-60. I would appreciate any information. thanks.

Thanks for this posting Melody, while not my line this is very informative. Bob "The Good You Do Is Not Lost Though You Forget It" http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/s/m/a/Robert-J-Smalley/index.html

Thought this might be of help to someone on the list. Benjamin Knapp was born April 6, 1825, in Stuben county, N.Y; in 1833 with his parents, he moved to Ashtabulu county, Ohio. June 27, 1847, he was married to Miss Sarah A. Place of Kirtland, Ohio, who died Aug 18, 1853. By this marriage there were born two children, George E., who was killed in battle at Ceder Creek, W. Va., and Laura A. Knapp-Guest, who resides at Plainville, Wis. On July 11, 1854, Mr. Knapp was again married to Miss Martha Amy Frey of Linesville, Crawford County, Pa., who survives him, together with a daughter, Mrs. Mary A. Wisner of Chehalis, Wash., and a son, Levi C. Knapp of Severy. In April 1875 Mr. Knapp with his family removed to Elk County, Kansas, where he has since resided with the exception of 5 years, from 1902 to 1907 he lived in Severy, identifying himself with the development of the country and enjoying the acquaintance and confidence of a very large number of people. For eight years in the 80's Mr. Knapp carried the mail between Severy! ! and Paw Paw post office and his was always a familiar figure on our streets and with a good work for all and a pleasant story to tell, he will be greatly missed, not only by the near relatives but by the community at large. In early manhood Mr. Knap united with the Baptist church of Cherry Valley, Ohio. Four years ago he was stricken with paralysis from which he never fully recovered and has been in failing health since and on the morning of July 4th he had another severe stroke from which he never recovered and he closed his eyes in the last sleep at 4:40 p.m., July 8, 1907, at the age of 82 years, 3 month and 2 days. Funeral service were held at the home of his son, Levi Knapp, southwest of Severy Tuesday July 9, at 2 p.m. by Rev. C. T. Rogers and the remains were interred in Twin Groves cemetery.

Jesus is telling his followers that they're job as His followers is to help people appreciate God's gift of life in the world, also His presence and grace, i.e., to bring out the flavor of God in people's lives, so that they might better appreciate Him, thus preserving His relationship with them.

Mr. Harold Hill, President of the Curtis Engine Company in Baltimore, Maryland, and a consultant in the space program, relates the following development: I think one of the most amazing things that God has for us today happened recently to our astronauts and space scientists at Green Belt, Maryland. They were checking the position of the sun, moon, and planets out in space where they would be, 100 years and 1000 years from now. We have to know this so we won't send a satellite up and have it bump into something later on in its orbits. We have to lay out the orbits in terms of the life of the satellite, and where the planets will be, so the whole thing will not bog down. They ran the computer measurement back and forth over the centuries and it came to a halt. The computer stopped and put up a red signal, which meant that there was something wrong either with the information fed into it, or with the results as compared to the standards. They called in the service department to check it out and they said "what's wrong?" Well, they found there is a day missing in space, in elapsed time. They scratched their heads and tore their hair. There was no answer. Finally, a Christian man on the team said, "You know, one time I was in Sunday School and they talked about the sun standing still." While they didn't believe him, they didn't have an answer either, so they said "Show us." He got a Bible and went back to the book of Joshua where they found a pretty ridiculous statement for any one with "common sense." There they found the Lord saying to Joshua, "Fear them not, I have delivered them into thy hand; there shall not a man of them stand before thee." Joshua was concerned because he was surrounded by the enemy and if darkness fell they would over power them. (check references below). So Joshua asked the Lord to make the sun stand still! That's right -- "The sun stood still and the moon stayed and hasted not to go down about a whole day!" They checked the computers going back into the time it was written and found it was close but not close enough. The elapsed time that was missing back in Joshua's day was 23 hours and 20 minutes--not a whole day. They read the Bible again and there it was: "about(approximately) a day." These little words in the Bible are important, but they were still in trouble, because if you cannot account for 40 minutes you'll still be in trouble 1,000 years from now. Forty minutes had to be found because it can be multiplied many times over in orbits. As the Christian employee thought about it, he remembered somewhere in the Bible where it said the sun went BACKWARDS. The scientists told him he was out of his mind, but they got out the Book and read these words in 2 Kings: Hezekiah, on his deathbed, was visited by the prophet Isaiah who told him that he was not going to die. Hezekiah asked for a sign as proof. Isaiah said, "Do you want the sun to go ahead 10 degrees?" Hezekiah said "It is nothing for the sun to go ahead 10 degrees, but let the shadow return backward 10 degrees." Isaiah spoke to the Lord and the Lord brought the shadow ten degrees BACKWARD! Ten degrees is exactly 40 minutes! Twenty-three hours and 20 minutes in Joshua, plus 40 minutes in Second Kings make the missing day in the universe! Isn't it amazing?! Perhaps God is rubbing their noses in His Truth! References: Joshua 10:8, 12, 13 2 Kings 20:9-11 Please forward this to as many people who would think this is equally as "cool." For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to Prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart... Jeremiah 29:11&13. --part1_b7.b709d3ad.25ab98ac_boundary--

It has been noted on this list on several occasions that the Nicholas Knapp Genealogy is excellent for many lines, but not for the descendents of Israel Knapp of Fishkill, Dutchess County, NY, especially those of his son Elijah -- I'm less certain of the accuracy of the liens of Elijah's siblings because I have done almost no research on them. My own ancestry derives from Elijah's eldest son, Isreal (1797-1880). A family Bible belonging to Mary (Knapp) Hill, daughter of Samuel and granddaughter of Elijah, lists eight children of Elijah Knapp and Rachel Weeks. That Bible remains in the possession of one of Mary's descendents, still living in Walden, Orange County, NY. Of those, the first six were sons, the last two were daughters. Isreal and Samuel both settled in Walden, Orange County, NY. Chauncey's children were baptized at New Hackensack Dutch Reformed Church in Dutchess County. His wife died in 1866 while a member of a Dutch Reformed congregation in Poughkeepsie. I know nothing of Henry beyond the entries in Mary Hill's Bible which say he lived from 1800 to 1880 and his wife was Harriet Bush. The same Bible record gives James H. Knapp's birth and death 1804-1882, but ALL other sources I've seen suggest he died much younger. His wife was shown in the Bible record as Miriam (or Mirriam) Fowler, who may have been a sister of Isreal's first wife, Sarah Emeline "Sally" Fowler. Gilbert married Ann Deerin in Poughkeepsie. They had eight sons, no daughters. In the 1850 cesnsus for Town of Sheridan, Calhoun County, MI, the family included both parents, seven sons and Anna C. Dearin, 10 -- probably a niece of Ann (Deerin) Knapp. The eighth son, James, had died in 1847 and is buried in Riverside Cemetery, Albion, Calhoun County. The seven reamining sons were listed as: John, 24; Chancey, 22; Edward, 18; Wm, 16; Matthew, 16; Robert, 13; Geo. F.H., 10. All are shown as New York born, but Gilbert purchased land in Sheridan township, Calhoun County, MI, on June 1, 1840, several months before George's reported September birth, so that may be in error. Some of the family moved to New Hudson, Lyon Township, Oakland County, MI, in the late 1850's (Robert's pension file says 1859). In the 1860 census, no children are listed at their parents's home, but "Chancy" lived next door with a wife, daughter, and brothers Robert and George. At least two of the sons, Edward and Robert, served in the Civil War. Robert's Certificate of Disability for Discharge describes him as "six feet three inches high, light complexion, hazle (sic) eyes, brown hair." His pension file also includes a statement from D.B. Crane, M.D., of "Sant Joseph, Mich," dated July 15th 1879 and certified by a Berrien County, MI, notary. It says: "This certifies that I the subscriber was the family physician for Gilbert Knapp, the father of Robert Knapp, the bearer of this paper and from the single fact that the family consisted of the father & mother and eight boys. They were [unreadable] robust healthy and sound in their makeup, every one of them -- and this one, Robert with twin mate (I think) were born under my supervision. It is very seldom one meets with such a large family, in which the physique of every one is so perfectly sound as they were. I was their only physician some sixteen or eighteen years, and they were all entirely sound the last I knew them." Regrettably, Dr. Crane's memory was flawed. Robert was younger than the twins, who were William and Matthew. Nonetheless, the clear implication is that the family of Gilbert Knapp consisted of young men who were strikingly large for their era. Robert moved to Traverse City, Grand Traverse County. MI. He had at least three children. Harry probably have died in 1884 as a child. The second son is listed by Robert as "Thomas D. Knapp" in an 1898 submission ot the Bureau of Pensions. The records of his 1889 divorce, however, list the same son as Homer D. Knapp, 7, and ask that custody be awarded to the mother. Daughter Georgia L. Knapp, 15 at the time of the divorce, later married Leon G. Van Liew and settled in Belleaire, Antrim County, MI. Robert died at her home in 1904. Robert's pension file says he was born in Cayuga County, NY. Edward's pension file never mentions children. He was a wanderer, who frequently moved in and among Tennesseee, Kentucky, Illinois, and Arkansas, dying -- apparently alone -- In Arlington, Carlisle County, KY, on July 15, 1916. His wife had died in 1899. Edward's birth in variously listed in his pension file as "near Auburn, NY," "Cayuga county, NY," "Cayuga County, NY, near Skinatlis (sic)," and simply "State of New York." There remain a lot of questions about this family and I would be very interested to know more about any of them. cmorrow@ix.netcom.com Duncan Morrow -----Original Message----- From: Kristan Aspen & Janna MacAuslan <musica@transport.com> To: KNAPP-L@rootsweb.com <KNAPP-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Monday, January 10, 2000 1:59 AM Subject: [KNAPP] Re:E.H. and Will Knapp, Calhoun Co.

Hello Lynn Crowder, I noticed your Michigan inquiry and looked at my relatives in that area. In the Nicholas Knapp Genealogy there are two brothers, William (b. 1835) and Edward (b. 1832), who are sons of Gilbert Knapp and Ann Marie Deerin. Gilbert's brother James Harvey was an ancestor of mine. His son, also named James Harvey (b. 1826) eventually went West to Michigan where he met his future wife. I wonder if he spent some time living with his uncle Gilbert. He had been orphaned early and I believe he lived with his other uncle Samuel in Walden, NY when he was a young teen. Gilbert, Samuel, and James Harvey Sr. were sons of Elijah Knapp and Rachel Weeks of Fishkill, NY. I have also seen a Descendants of Israel Knapp Genealogy which lists Robert B. Knapp (b. about 1837 in Cayuga Co. NY) as a son of Gilbert. He died Nov. 2, 1904 in Bellaire, Antrim Co. MI. Maybe looking for info on Robert would lead you to William and Edward as well. It's just a thought... Good luck. Half the fun of it for me is the conjecture. The hard part is tracking down the proof! Kristan Knapp

I am also looking for relatives of Weltha Knapp (born about 1792 and died 1855 in Irasburg, VT. She married an Isaac Ordway in VT in 1809. Their son, Benjamin then married a Louisa Corliss Crook in VT and they along with some of their brothers and sisters on both sides moved to Wisconsin and Illinois in the mid-1800's. The name Ira also appears many times in our Crook family members??? I have been on a deadend with Weltha since I started my geneaology 5 years ago. So any clue would help! Regards

Lynn Crowder wrote: > Hi Joe, I don't think they are the same, My Rose was born in 1850 Yes, that would rule out my Edward Hartley Knapp, born 1856, of Homer, NY as the father.

Hi Lynn, I have an Edward Hartley Knapp (g-granduncle), born June 19, 1856 in (probably) Homer, NY. He died in April 1934. He married Harriet M. Rose (b. May 17, 1857, d. 1922) on Dec. 14, 1880. I don't have any record of children or where Edward died. My record for Harriet's death place (source unknown) says Homer, NY. Now what I find interedting is that your Edward H. Knapp is in Homer MICHIGAN and has a daughter named Rose which would have been the mother's maiden name if it's the same person. Could be just a string of coincidences, but remarkable. I wonder how old is Edward in the picture you have?
