I have definitely traced his ancestry back to Edward H. and Mary (Emery) Knowlton, who lived in Thurston, Steuben Co., NY. I was in contact with another descendent years ago who lived in the Steuben Co., NY area, and he provided Edward's birthdate as Sept. 25, 1813 in Quincy, Mass, and his death date as Feb 8, 1892 in Steuben Co., NY. The town of Quincy, Mass is also given as a birthplace for Edward on the death certificate of his son, William H. Knowlton. Online today, I found a citation that listed a birth of Sept. 25, 1813 in Quincy, Mass for an Edward Hamilton Knowlton. Edward Hamilton Knowlton's parents are given as Charles W. Knowlton and Sally. Exact citation is: Title: Genealogies of the Families Of Braintree, Norfolk, Mass., 1640-1850 Author: Waldo Chamberlain Sprague, AB Publication: Including the modern town of Randolph & Holbrook and the city of Quincy, after the separation from Braintree in 1792-3. Can anyone confirm or deny whether this is correct and I have indeed found my elusive Edward H. Knowlton?
