Does anyone have access to the Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire by Noyes, Libby & Davis? Are any of these marriages mentioned there? >> Pg 545 of the above says that Ephraim b. 24 Apri 1656 m. Elizabeth Barron; liv Groton, Mass where 3 ch. rec. 1689-1699. He was son of John Philbrick & Ann Knapp (dau of Wm. Knopp). No mention of him married to an Elizabeth Knopp The Elizabeth Knopp daughter of Wm Knopp & sister of the above Ann was md to a John Buttery. I havent checked my sources on that so am not sure of it. Good Luck Leslie
