Dear Listers, I have received a request from someone researching Mary Knowlton, b ca 1842, PA, married Hiram Cornell. They lived in Steuben Co., NY, in 1870 and 1880. I have located them in 1860 in Potter Co., PA, living in Roulette with Aaron Knowlton's family, next door to Christopher Knowlton (an extremely rare Knowlton name then despite its ubiquity nowadays). I suspect they are Mary's brothers, given their ages. Can anyone give us citation for these Knowltons in 1850? If you go to http://www.geocities.com/mfs53211/mastertree1.html and search on Knowlton, you will find Jane Schoonhoven marrying Joseph Knowlton. Her father was Christopher Schoonhoven. They seem to be in the likely area for the Roulette Knowltons (and somewhere I saw Christopher or Aaron saying his father was b CT). This family is on p 504 of Stocking (correct Joseph's birth date to 1779 per ERRATA to make him old enough for War of 1812). Born in CT, mother a Sheldon. Married in Lancaster, PA. Any ideas? Elizabeth W. Knowlton
