Surnames: Knowlton, Stringer, Thompson Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/5Mn.2ACEB/127.140 Message Board Post: My grandfathers oldest brother was named William Appleton Knowlton. I thought that this was kind of an "odd" second name. But I happened to see your message and the replies and I realized maybe there is a connection to you. Any ideas? Let me know what you think. His fathers name was Alfred Walter Knowlton.-Merry Christmas Juanita
