Have you tried the LDS site. It is not always accurate but it does give you names to work with.

Dear Patricia, Thank You for your answer to my query. I would indeed like some info on the family of Lois Newcomb Bearse, especially since it's looking more and more all the time like she may be an ancestress of mine. I would like to have the info on file for the day I hopefully make the positive connection. Thank you. My e-mail is: earp@grnet.com. --Wyatt--

Hello, Here is some info and then a question: Thomas Ebenezer Knapp (son of Ebenezer Knapp and Elizabeth Benedict) was born abt. 1729 in Danbury, Fairfield County, Connecticut. He married Lois Newcomb Bearse. He died in 1804 in Dutchess County, New York. Among the children often listed for Thomas E. Knapp is THOMAS KNAPP (birth estimated at 1758). I would like to find out what the source(s) is/are for Thomas Knapp being a son of Thomas E. Knapp and Lois Bearse. Was it a will of Thomas E. Knapp? A deed? It is very important to me that I find this out as he is the only Thomas Knapp I have found in over 15 years that fits the time frame for my ancestor of that name. Knowing more about him could finally connect me to the Nicholas Knapp line. Any information on this Thomas Knapp would be greatly appreciated. Also, there is a Nathaniel Knapp who married Eunice who is also in this family. He was the son of Hezekial Knapp and would have been Thomas Knapp's second cousin. I have a Nathaniel Knapp who was married to a Eunice listed on a land deed in Fabius, Onondaga County, New York around 1816 and this puts him in the same town as my Thomas at that time. This is circumstantial evidence of a connection to this line to be sure. But it is also intriguing evidence. Any info on Nathaniel and Eunice Knapp would be appreciated as well. Thank you so much and Happy Holidays to all of you. --Wyatt R. Knapp--

Jim: Believe this Isaac Knapp you refer to is of the WILLIAM KNOPP Line. I don't have any further info on him, but believe this is the correct line, as I have read article in the past about him.

I don't know anything about Isaac but one of the biographies I found says that Gamaliel Knapp born in Greenbrier in 1819 was a well known Unionist.

I have periodically seen references to a Boston publisher and prominent anti-slavery activist by the name of Isaac Knapp. He published many abolitionist works and exposes. Does anyone in the group know anything about him, his origins, family line etc. I know he was active in Boston in 1837 and 1838. Since this is historical in nature and may be of general interest to the group a response to the list is good. Thanks, Jim Knapp JKnapp6423@aol.com

Hello I am looking for someone who might be able to give more infomation on these two persons who are buried at Fort Hill Cemetary Auburn NY Joseph KNAPP d 24 May 1910.... plus: Minnie Knapp d 2 Jun 1932 Any help would be appreciated and most welcome. Kathy

Does anyone on the list have any information on the following story? "On the evening of October 9th, 1992, residents across 7 U.S. states witnessed a brilliant fireball hurl across the evening sky, as bright as the full Moon, with a long tail behind it. Meanwhile in the town of Peekskill, New York, 18 year old Michelle Knapp was at home watching television when a loud "crashing" noise came from outside. The fireball had accumulated in the fall of a single stone meteorite which had shot straight through the back end of her car (1980 Chevy Malibu), bursting the oil tank and excavating a small 12cm impact crater in the ground below. Warm to the touch, the incident was originally reported by the Peekskill police as "criminal mischief by a very strong male", science would determine this 12.4kg meteorite as a H5 chondrite."
