Bill: Rev Isaac Knapp, is of the Nicholas Knapp Line [F-577, NKG, :202-203], which also says he was a Presbyterian Minister. His first wifes name was Jerusha Ellsworth [called "Rusha" in the Family Bible], daughter of Oliver Ellsworth of Windor & Berlin, CT. Jerusha was also called "Sally"???, a lecturer on Women's Rights and Temperance, d. 20/21 Jul 1814, Westfield, MA. Secondary writings indicate Isaac's date of birth as 2 Sep 1776, as does [supposedly] the Ellsworth Family Bible??? Seems correct as he was about 30-31 years old at his first marriage.
