Abraham b 1802 son of Caleb moved to Mason after 1850, he was in Wirt Co in 1850, he died in 1878. His brother Moses stayed in Greenbrier and died there abt 1834. All of the Knapps you see in Mason before 1850 are family of Moses, you should have children of Abraham in the file I sent, many of them came to Mason with their dad and spouses. I have combed the files in the court house for these folks, they are hard as he-- to find, drive me nuts!! sandy in fla
