Don. I suspect that the Rumney family history determined that Charles Knibbs was born in Devon Feb. 1819 from the IGI. This information was input to the IGI by Carolyn Knibbs Myrick. She got the information from a Knibbs family bible in the possession of a Tressa Kirk, who has since "shuffled off this mortal coil." I guess that if Carolyn got it from a Knibbs family bible, we have to accept it's accuracy. I wish I knew who had this bible now. Glenn Ellsworth Knibbs is only 10 years older than me, so I am not terribly sympathetic with the infirmities of the "golden years." I have a few myself. Ritchie
