For the past month I have been working on the Knowltons who left the lower Hudson in the second half of the 18th century and migrated to Albany, Saratoga, and Herkimer Cos. and then west to Schenectady, Onandaga, Chautauqua, Cattaugarus, and others, and finally west to Wisconsin and Illinois (some of them) in the first half of the 19th century. They all seem to descend from one Ephraim Knowlton (b ca 1676) who left Ipswich area for Westchester Co., and his sons who moved into Ulster, and Orange Cos., NY, ca 1700 - 1750. My recollection is that most people on this list descend from those who stayed longer in Massachusetts and then migrated to Maine, NH, VT, and CT, not passing into NY until about 1800 or later. However, if you do descend from this early NY branch, would you remind me or contact me so we can share our research? I am still waiting on the researcher who apparently saw an old Bible years ago that documented the marriage of Thomas Knowlton of Ulster Co. to one Ann Clugstone b ca 1720-1725. Since this marriage must have taken place ca 1750 and there were so few Knowltons in the area, I am thinking that these must be Thomas 229A & Anna mentioned on the Bible record of their son Thomas in Canada many years later. But we will have to see. Apparently the researcher works in a chicken house at night and is fairly incommunicado. Elizabeth W. Knowlton
