I cannot believe my luck!. The Jennifer Knibbs I referred to in a previous email (a Knibbs by marriage) has put me in touch with her sister-in-law Kim Knibbs also in New York, who, by strange coincidence, I had 'spoken' to well over a year ago. There was no apparent connection at that time, but we communicated regularly until suddenly, she disappeared. Jennifer told Kim about my web page and when Kim looked at the details of the New York Knibbs, she found a connection with Cornelius Knibbs, the son of Joseph and Hannah Bennett of Somerton in Oxfordshire, who emigrated to New York in about 1840. Cornelius is the one that we've only just found the details of in Athens, Bradford County, Pennsylvania, USA. Kim is the g.g.granddaughter of Cornelius. Kim has been able to verify that Cornelius had a son James J Knibbs who married to Edith Talady (not Talada as I had it). Kim is descended from this line. The information that Kim has given me is as follows (with dates for living individuals removed): Descendants of Cornelius Knibbs 1 Cornelius Knibbs b: Bef.
