Marcia, I spent some time studying your email last night. The locations do work. Here is my question, however: is there time for the generations of this new family to be born? Say we begin with Daniel Knowlton (181) who was born in 1717. He married in 1843. Most of his listed children have no birthdates; he resided in Framington, MA, so perhaps you can find dates for the children of Daniel and Abigail Almy Knowlton. Several did marry Jennings--good sign. William (395) is listed first, but he cannot be the firstborn as his brother Elias (398) was born 1744; and a brother John, 1745. You are suggesting William has a son John (409) [my book says b Feb 28? 1763]. Stocking lists three children for William and Rachel/Rebecca: Josiah, Kate, and Oliver, b 1770, 1773, and 1779. He could have had John in 1763, but he would have been under 20, in fact probably under 18, not usual for Knowlton men. Any thoughts on this? Maybe much more is wrong in this line in Stocking. Elizabeth Message text written by INTERNET:KNOWLTON-L@rootsweb.com >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.< Elizabeth W.
