Stephen... In looking over your home page I see you do not have my ancestor as the son of Silas Knapp ( born 1770 ) wife Amelia Reed. Charles was their youngest child and is # G-1561 in the N K B on page 303. I have e-mail you a few times but do not think I followed through with my information. Let me know what you think. O.K. I loved the work you have already done with your home page. I will send you my information so you can add to your work, if you care to do it. Charles H. Knapp Born 1812 in Delhi, N.Y. He was a pioneer resident of Jerseyville, Jersey CO. ,Illinois He was an early merchant of the Jerseyville area He is listed on page 375 of the Nickolas Knapp Book His number is G - 1561 He was elected Justice of the Peace on April 23, 1842 - 1843 and 1845, in Jerseyville, Green County, IL He has his mother ( Amelia Reed Knapp ) living with him in the 1850 census and she was age 75. ( I have a copy if you would like to see ) On page 20 of a Jerseyville History Book C.H. Knapp is listed with others who were the charter members of the Jerseyville division Number 16 " Sons of Temperance" which was organized on August 4th 1847, later it is said that another 400 members were added., The division built, in 1851, a fine hall, two stories high, 22 by 50 feet, which was dedicated in Sept. of 1851. On page 110 Jerseyville History , Ill. Book say that Charles H. Knapp was the county superintendent of school , elected in the fall election in 1868 , and served for the next six years. I have a copy of a letter she ( Charlotte Knapp )wrote in 1836 , to her brother and sister in law after the death of her sister Laura, who had suffered from a long illness. Lottie and her mother ( Elizabeth Halstead Knapp ) took complete care of her at the last. I also have passed down to me through my fathers family - three silver spoons with E.H.K. inscribed on them.... I feel a real Keep sake of their past lives, for me to treasure.
