I was at the Pepin Co., Court House, Durand, Wisconsin last week, doing some research. I found the following which may be of some interest to someone: Marriage record Vol. 1/ Page 40-C 1. Hezekiah Knapp, parents were George & Clerisa Knapp born PA m. Marriet Bennett, parents were Oliver & Abigail Bennett born WI on 11/20/1867 at the home of Charles Meyers, Town of Frankfurt, Pepin Co. Civil ceremony I think. Volume 2 page 68: 2. Phillip Knapp, parents Leopold & Maria Knapp of Austria all 3 of them. m. Agnes Baumersil, parents Agnatius & Magdalia Baumersil. on 2/6/1882. A roman Catholic Wedding, he is listed as a laborer living in Durand the City. I would venture they came from the Gemund, Schrems area, where most of the other Austiran families came from in this area. #3 My personal request: I was looking for a John Knapp from Canada earlier, and have all of his chldren info. I found in an obit from one his sons a middle initial. so here goes. (The middle initial was hard to read) John I. or J. Knapp b. 1/25/1805 in Canada somewhere. d. 1/20/1885 in Lewiston, MN. m. Eunice Demarey b. 11/25/1810 d. 4/26/1871. Children were: Jessie b. 11/6/1832 Canada d. 5/24/1921 m. Marietta Pennock who died 4/12/1904 David Knapp Byron C. Knapp William B. Knapp Ben S. Knapp John B. Knapp Silvanus F. Knapp Never married Hiram Jasper Knapp born in Minnesota and married a Van der Zee or Vandersee. I have much information on this family, along with decendants, pictures, etc. It was all in the Livingston/Knapp bible, and my grandmother copied it all down years ago. I am trying to make the connection from John I. or J. Knapp back farther to his parents, etc., etc. and eventually to England I think. Supposedly these Knapps were of English extraction. Any help would be appreciated. Greg Lampman
