Replying to Query/boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/5Mn.2ACEB/297.1 Putting my two cents worth into your discussion: #964 John Knowlton was born Sept 30, 1795, son of John and Susanna Knowlton. Recorded in Dublin. (N.H. State Records - Concord, N.H.) He was of Dublin at m., and married Lois Bemis, also of Dublin, 1817 - 05 - 06 (page 32 "Marriages (Grooms) Index of Dublin, N.H. 1760 - 1790" found at either N.E.H.G.S. or Ct. Soc. of Genealogists") "History of Dublin", pg. 804 says he died 1832 at Sandy Creek, N.H. and Lois was dau. of James and Lois (Walker) Bemis. The Father John is #409 Stocking and said to be the son of #183 Jonathan and Elizabeth. I question that position. John #409 was of Dublin, N.H. at time of marriage. Is there proof that he was born there? Susannah Jennings (dau. of Daniel and Elisabeth, b. Apr. 3, 1761) birth recorded Holliston, Mass. v.r. pg. 69. Their marriage recorded in Holliston, Mass, v.r. pg. 225 J and pg. 32 Grooms Index of Dublin. I have not found either death record. Getting back to the birth of #409 John - Stocking says he is #409 b. Feb. 23, 1763, son of #183 Jonathan and ___ (wife said to be Elizabeth). From pg. 17 Errata: Jonathan and Elizabeth lived in Ipswich, moved to Hopkinton after 1716 where he died 1728. Three children listed: Elizabeth, Jonathan and Daniel. No John listed to this couple in Stocking or Errata. How did we assume John was their son? Do we have a primary source? Errata pg. 46 further notes that #409 John lived in Sherburne, Mass.; removed to Dublin, N.H. Now, we have another John, born Feb. 23, 1763 (same date as John #409 above) who was the son of #395 William Knowlton and Rachel (Anderson). This birth is recorded pg. 85 Medway, Mass. vital records (Medway is near Sherborn, etc.) From pg. 46 errata: William and Rachel or Rebecca lived in that part of town of Sherborn which was sent apart as Holliston. (This info. puts John in the correct area to meet and wed Susannah). On 4/27/00 via the Benetech Knowlton Listserve, Linwood Wickett made a very strong argument supporting the suggestion that this John (who married Susannah Jennings) was the son of #395 William and Rachel and NOT of #183 Jonathan and Elizabeth. Do we have clear evidence that #409 John was son of #183 Jonathan? Also, Elizabeth, do you have the address for Cameron Knowlton site? You mentioned it and I have not seen it yet. Marcia Clark
