Others have discussed your problem over the years; I just cannot find the discussion in our archives. People are more likely to answer you if they don't have to go to the message boards to do it. Second, I don't know if you have any of the background, but, briefly, some of us believe this line comes down from Jonathan (54) son of Samuel and Elizabeth Wilt/Witt Knowlton. I suppose you know Stocking's History if you refer to #964. Using Stocking, the Errata, and Hopkinton/Holliston records, a possibility is Jonathan (54) and Elizabeth. >iv. Jonathan (54); born 16 Mar 1677/78;125 married Elizabeth (--?--); died 1728 in Hopkinton, MA, intestate and insolvent.126 He moved after 1716 in Hopkinton, MA.127 He and Elizabeth (--?--) had 3 children.128< There are a couple of Knowlton gene sites; this info from the Cameron Knowlton site. This Jonathan had Jonathan (160B) ca 1704, who married a Mary Maxwell in Holliston. Jonathan (160B) and Mary Maxwell had a Jonathan (183) in Holliston in 1739. And it is this Jonathan (183) I believe to be the father of John (409) in Holliston who married Susannah Jennings. But I have not collected all necessary records to prove this; it is just an idea.
