Elizabeth, I was cleaning up old e-mails and ran across this one that had been sent to me by a Orange and Westchester County researcher who had been a great help to me on my Voughts. He knew about my great grandmother Vought being a daughter of Leander Knowlton and of my search for Leander Knowlton's father Henry Knowlton. I had no need to follow up on this because my Knowlton's ended up in western NY after migrating from NH. Knowing you Elizabeth, you probably already have the 1830 census for Thomas Knowlton. Thought I'd send it on just in case you did not.
