He married : Lois Newcomb Bearse. He died in 1804 in Dutchess County, New York. : Among the children often listed for Thomas E. Knapp is THOMAS KNAPP : (birth estimated at 1758). : : I would like to find out what the source(s) is/are for Thomas Knapp : being a son of Thomas E. Knapp and Lois Bearse. Was it a will of Thomas : E. Knapp? A deed? It is very important to me that I find this out as : he is the only Thomas Knapp I have found in over 15 years that fits the : time frame for my ancestor of that name. Knowing more about him could : finally connect me to the Nicholas Knapp line. Any information on this : Thomas Knapp would be greatly appreciated. : : Also, there is a Nathaniel Knapp who married Eunice who is also in this : family. He was the son of Hezekial Knapp and would have been Thomas : Knapp's second cousin. I have a Nathaniel Knapp who was married to a : Eunice listed on a land deed in Fabius, Onondaga County, New York around : 1816 and this puts him in the same town as my Thomas at that time. This : is circumstantial evidence of a connection to this line to be sure. But : it is also intriguing evidence. Any info on Nathaniel and Eunice Knapp : would be appreciated as well. : : Thank you so much and Happy Holidays to all of you. : --Wyatt R. Knapp-- : : : : : :
