[Posted Essex and Middlesex, because of overlap] Helen Graves asked MAExxex about record of marriage of Ebenezer Knight and Mary Greenslit in Lynn 7 Aug 1739. I gave VR citation in Lynn, then became curious, since we have many Knight ancestors in Essex Co. [Middleton & Topsfield], but no children of Ebenezer are found in Essex County. Search for Ebenezer Knight in NEHGRegister index reveals the following sequence of recorded events. Could this be the same Ebenezer and Mary? Two places on same day? Aug 23 1735. Anna, dau of Ebenezer and Mary Knights born, Malden [1] 24 Feb 1735/6 Ebenezer Knights and Mary his wife warned to take children viz "Alice, Amaziah, Mary, Ebenezer, Ruth, Matthew, Sarah and Anna" and depart. Malden Mass., Warnings Out 1678-1794 [2] [Introduction clarifies that warnings out were given by town selectmen to strangers who arrive and the town did not wish to be obliged to support] 15 Apr 1739 Alice, Amaziah and Mary 3 adult children of Mr Ebenezer Knight by virtue of their own covt, Ebenezer, Ruth, Matthew, Sarah, Anna and Elizabeth by virtue of their Father's Covt. baptized Milton Church. [3] 15 Apr 1739 "Alice, Amaziah, and Mary, 3 eldest children of Ebenezer Knight" admitted to Milton Church. [4] 7 Aug 1739. Ruth dau of Ebenzer Knight bapt Milton Church [5] [a Tuesday]; [is she the same sister of Alice, Amaziah, etc above] 7 Aug 1739 Ebenezer Knight and Mary Greensleet married Lynn [6] Seems a big coincidence to have an Ebenezer Knight and Mary marry and have a child baptized on same date in different towns. There seems to have been an Ebenezer Knight and wife Mary in Reading about that time; also in Stoneham, but children names were different, and these families seemed to stay there.
