    3. My husband is also a descendant of Timothy Knowlton and his son Timothy. There is a lot of confused and wrong information about him. Also there was another Timothy, b. 1739, son of Ephraim and Ruth (----), who m. Sarah Merrifield (dau. of Joseph and Hannah (Hill) Merrifield at Wrentham, MA. in 1764. See "The Merrifield Family" by Flora and Charles Merrifield, pub. 1981 and at Salt Lake City Family History Library. We believe our Timothy was from Rowe, MA, where he owned land, and served in the military. He was listed among the taxpayers in 1784 in Rowe (originally known as Myrifield plantation). We have been to Rowe, but found little information on the family. Stocking's book, The Knowlton Genealogy, says Timothy And Sarah Mansfield Had Ebenezer, Joseph, Benjamin, Mary, Rachel, Hannah, Paul, Rhoda, Huldah, Sarah, Ephraim, Aaron, and Timothy. Stocking says Timothy removed from Medway to Rowe before 1770, . His farm there was in a very rugged spot and he left it for Belchertown. There are many errors in Stocking's book, so I don't trust it. I have a lot of info on Timothy's son Benjamin and Benjamin's children. but can't verify any of the earlier generations. I would like to know more about Timothy and wife, and about Benjamin's wives.

He does not appear any place that I have looked over the years (except in those two books by Stocking and Knowlton). Am I the only one descended from this couple? I never see any information about them posted - no one else asking questions. Who did he marry and where? When did they die? Were there other children besides Timothy [also mine], and Ebenezer? Did he leave a will? Where did he really live?
