As genealogy is partially putting bits and pieces together like a puzzle, I take it upon myself to connect one family to another. I do it as carefully as possible, noting all my sources, so that if I have made a mistake, I can "unconnect" properly. Because I am not as "sharp" as I used to be, and some of the active members are of this line, I solicit comments and or corrections on the following connections that I have made. Daniel Knowlton and Abigail (Almy) had a son Elias (#398 Stocking. Elias was b. 1744, served in the Rev. War., and died 1784 in Holliston, Middlesex, Mass. Elias married Elizabeth Jennings and had the following children: i. Rebecca b. Oct. 3, 1765, rec. pg. 127, v.r. Framingham, Mass. (Newcomb and Gauss book) she married Daniel Morse, both of Framingham, Jun 29, 1790 in Hopkinton, Mass. (pg. 314 v.r. Hopkinton, (Newcomb + Gauss book) ii. Elisha b. Jun 5, 1767, Framingham, rec. pg. 128 v.r. His name is spelled Elias in 1813 birth record of son John T.G. (Dublin, N.H., v.r.) This son John T.G. died 1898 Boston (v.r.) and that entry says his father Elijah was born in Sherborn. Elisha married Polly Chamberlain 1795 Dublin, N.H. (from pg 32, Marriages (Grooms) Index of Dublin, N.H. 1760 - 1990 - found at NEHGS or Ct. Hist. Soc or Ct. Soc. of Gen - mac) Polly is listed as Hannah Chamberland in death record 1898 Boston (v.r.) of son John T.G. Elisha was a blacksmith and died about 1840 (per. Stocking pg. 166) iii. Elias b. May 14, 1769, rec. pg. 90 v.r. Holliston, Mass. (Newcomb + Gauss) He married Lydia Fisk 1789, rec. pg. 230 and 208 v.r. Holliston (Newcomb + Gauss) Lydia died 1802, and he m. 2nd Hannah Fisk. He removed to Warwick, Mass. ( per. Stocking and pg. 68 errata) iv. Daniel (he is not well documented before his marriage) (he is #914 Stocking, pg. 166) Daniel married Linda Blake, (Lendy in int.) Sept 8, 1803. pg. 152, and 105 v.r. Holden, (Newcomb + Gauss) He is listed as Daniel H. and wife Melinda in death record 1910, Springfield, Mass. (v.r.) of son Austin. His wife is listed several ways: Lucinda Blake (pg. 77 Stocking), Lendy Blake (birth records of some children and marriage intention.) I have used Linda Blake as stated in her birth record (twin to Lucy, pg. 17 v.r. Holden, Mass.) and marriage record. v. Jesse b. abt. 1771 (calc. from death info: Jesse Knowlton, (married) died Dec 21, 1844, a. 73. worn out, born in Holliston, rec. Grafton, Mass. v.r. pg. 437. He married Polly Blake 1794 in Holden, v.r. pg. 153 and 105. Polly is listed as Mary, in marriage record of son Jason (s. Jesse and Mary, a. 40, widr.) and Zilpah B. Holt, m. April 24, 1845. Grafton, Mass. (v.r. pg. 238 ) - I have a note stating Zilpah was widow, age 29 yr at m. (source ???) maiden name Bruce, dau. of John and Prudence, b. about 1816 (source ??? - mac) vi. Luther, b. 1773 (per #915 Stocking, pg. 77 kea) Luther removed to Walpole, N.H. in 1800 (pg. 69 errata) Marriage: Luther Knowlton and Prudence Dedman Dec 28, 1800*. Framingham (v.r.pg 235 + pg. 268) Their family is listed in "Walpole As It Was and As It Is " by George Aldrich, (internet - Gen Web (prob. History Project) vii. Elizabeth b. April 19, 1776. (pg. 90 v.r. Holliston) she died unm. (pg. 46 errata) viii. Gilbert. b. Mar 6, 1778 (pg. 90 v.r. Holliston) rem. from Holliston. his family not known (pg 47 errata) AND that is why I am here! I believe Gilbert is the following: (1) Gilbert married Sarah Rowell from "the Bangor Hist. Magazine, later the Maine Hist. Mag - 1885 - 1894" Maine Gen. Soc. special #14, edited by Joseph W. Porter, Pictou Press, Camden, Me., 1993 pg. 2085 - Eddington Families David Rowell, from Woolrich to Bangor abt 1770, moved to Eddington and drowned at Gardner's Falls in 1771. married Patience Greenleaf Ch: iii. Sarah m. Gilbert Knowlton ------------- (2) - 1860 census, Maine, Penobscot Cty., Eddington, series M.653, roll 445, pg. 125, Line 22, Gilbert Knowlton, 82 yr., male, retired Farmer, born Mass., living with Line 17, dw. 4, fam. 4., Coolige Comins, 57 yr., male, farmer, b. Mass., his wife Eliza, 55, F., b. Me., and three Comins children. (pos. dau. to Gilbert?) ---------- (3) - Gilbert died Nov. 29, 1870, age 91 y 7 mo 23 d = b. about May 8, 1878 (I could have copied his birth month as March instead of May) from "the Bangor Hist. Magazine, later the Maine Hist. Mag - 1885 - 1894" Maine Gen. Soc. special #14, edited by Joseph W. Porter, Pictou Press, Camden, Me., 1993 pg. 992 - Deaths Copied from Inscriptions on Grave Stones Gilbert Knowlton, Eddington, Nov. 29, 1870 aged 91 yr, 7 mo, 23 dy. (probably found at my local library) ------------- (4) Also living in Eddington (1860 cens.) is David Knowlton age 59 yr., with children named Luther D., and Elias R. I believe David is son to Gilbert. Can anyone confirm that for me? ------------- (5) Also living in Eddington (1860 cens.) is Elias, 57 yr., and Elias F., 29 yr. I believe Elias, 57y is brother to David 59 yr. and son of Gilbert. Elias F. 29 yr., is living next to David and is probably his son. ________ Any help would be appreciated. Also, If Lynde Randall still needs the children of Daniel and Linda (Blake), I can help. Marcia Clark
