Please don't use Knapp as the subject, it is redundant, it is better to put the first name, a date, a state. Some people need to delete a lot of mail and they do it by subject, they delete mail called 'my family', 'genealogy', and 'Knapp.' Sandy in Florida

Hi, I just wanted to clarify something. I am not sure his name is Edward, It could be Edwin or any other name as E.H. Knapp was written on the back. I have ordered a microfilm with the census for Michigan and a Edward Knapp is listed for Calhoun co. hopefully he is mine. Thanks again, Lynn

Hi Joe, I don't think they are the same, My Rose was born in 1850 Iam not sure where, probably NY, as that is what is listed on her marriage certificate and also her death certificate. Rose's parents where never mention on either paper. Rose died in 1889 in San Bernardino, Calif. She was 38. I have some other photos that show Will Knapps children and they where taken in Bakersfield, Ca. and one in Los Angeles. I am assuming he moved the Calif. also. Thanks for your reply and hopefully someone will know who they are. Sincerely, Lynn

Hi, I kept your message from Christmas, as this is the first Knapp message that rings a bell for me in awhile. Can you tell me where this line of Knapps came to in the US?

PS, Knox county IL is not that far from Tazewell co, IL. An elderly nephew of my parent says that Jerome's father lived in a county adjoining Perry co, IL but I have not located them in land sales in IL. This cousin's son Louis Knapp had done the family genealogy before his untimely death, he is the one who thought John Ira was a likely name for Jerome's parent. ??????? I have not seen his work. It wouldn't be totally unlikely that brothers would travel west and then split up on the trail, is it? do you have any allied names to your Knapps from VT? I always notice the adjoining neighbors in census and in the neighborhood. I checked out all with VT as old homes.

The names are also in my line, every generation. John Jacob born in VT. 1806, married in In. 1837, lived in Knox Co. Ill. 1850. His son was James Ira, His son Ira Emmett, His son John Ira.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has ever heard of a Edward H.Knapp? I found his name is a photo album that belonged to my grandmother. She had written in the front, my grandfather. The photo was taken in Homer, Michigan, after 1855. Another photo had the caption, my brother Will, on the back was written, W.H.Knapp. I think the family was originally from NY. I don't know where. E.H. Knapp was the father of my Rose Knapp. I am grasping at straws as I cannot find Rose's parents. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, Lynn Crowder

Hello again, Has anyone a Knapp who moved from VT or OH to IL about 1840 or earlier? Still looking for Jerome Knapp, killed at the Battle of Shiloh.,CW. Some of the family think his father was Ira, or John or both. Ira and John are names repeated in the family until today. HELP, I am getting older by the day. gijoeww2@plateautel.net

I don't know. I have a copy of Jonathon's will. Since you raised the question, I went back and looked at the "D" formations. Now, to me, it almost looks like an "I" in his name, but the "I"s and "J"s throughout the will all look the same. I didn't find a birth date for him either. I only have Lydia's and John W. (the oldest son who was arrested for the pension). I was hoping this was a connection. Oh well, who knows maybe it is and I just don't see it yet. Thanks so much for your reply. If I do find something, I will be in touch. Kim

There is a Darius Knapp listed in the Ohio 10th Calvery, a SGT and in the "notes" column it says Jarius W. Found this in Ancestry.com Civil War rosters.

This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------90DEEA883DBB87DBC43CE049 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Knapp researchers, I am looking for documentation of the area of New York and the parentage of one Joshua Knapp 1774-about 1855. Joshua appeared in Kentucky by 1800 and married at least three times. His final marriage was to Mary "Polly" McDonald in Fleming County Kentucky in 1807. The 1850 census, indicates that he was born in New York. The death record of his daughter Hebe Knapp, indicates that she was born in 1794, to Joshua, while living in Jessamine County Kentucky. One John F. Knapp, born 1852, sold land in 1881 in Rowan County, near the area in which Joshua once lived. At the time of this sale, JF Knapp and his wife Susie J. Knapp were said to be residents of Hamberg, Erie County New York. This JF Knapp later returned to Morehead, Ky.,where he lived in 1810. Joshua Knapp and Polly were parents of one of my gggrandmothers. Emily Knapp, who married James Johnson, born in Fleming Co. Ky. and died in Carter Co. Ky. I would appreciate hearing from any New York relatives who may know of this Joshua.

Dear Kim, Is it possible your Jarius is Darius? The census we found him in says he was born in OH and his father was from NJ. We have no idea what his fathers first name was, but maybe because of the circumstances, maybe they were hiding his fathers arrest??? Do you have a date on Jarius? Our Darius was born c: 1840 in OH.

The Severyite, 8 July 1907 [note - this obit was attached to card in Greenwood Co. KS Historical Museum - not date of paper - date of death - I try to type in same as in article, so errors may not be mine - Ruby Ryno] Benjamin Knapp 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.
