Hi, Len: I was going to tell you about the William Baldwin story in "Ashtabula Co. Then and Now," which says Caroline was the daughter of William and his first wife. Then I noticed that you were the submitter of the story! It may have been my database you saw at WorldConnect. I do show Polly Knapp as the daughter of Daniel. I got my info from Fritz (fritz@fidnet.com), whom you've surely heard of from the Knapp mailing list. His source was the Nicholas Knapp Genealogy, as you said. He's corrected many errors in that book, but perhaps this is one he doesn't know about. I have the Knapp marriage index pages for Ash. County, and the index shows Sally Knapp married to Daniel Palmer in 1821 (Film No. 01, Frame 63-64). In my database, I show Mr. Oliver as a previous husband -- but if that's the case, she shouldn't have been listed in the marriage index as Sally KNAPP. It seems I saw something printed that said she married Palmer after Oliver died, but I don't remember right now. I see in my personal notes on Daniel Knapp that Jean Martinez has Daniel's will, and it's inventoried on 4/22/1820 by John Dibell, Jr., John Dibell, and Phillip Goff. Administrator was his son Roswell Knapp. Parties owing the estate were son Elihu Knapp, son-in-law DANIEL PALMER, and David Sacket. Historical resources show Dibell spelled Dibble. Signatures all in same handwriting so Dibble is probably correct, says Jean. Her e-mail address is jebet@juno.com -- maybe she can shed some light on this whole family. I'll copy this to her in case she didn't see your post to the mailing list. Let me know if you find corrected information, will you, please? Thanks!
