June, thank you for the info. My email is [email protected] I have a notebook kept by my grt. grandma Annie Knight Purdy, daughter of Albert(Joseph's)older and only brother. The notes are difficult to read because of her writing style. I would love your email and home address as I could copy several letters that Addie(Adelaide House Knight wrote to Annie regarding geneology. I would also copy the chart of Capens back to 1500s to send. I have not been into my research for a couple of years but will try to answer what I can for you. My grt. grandmother spoke of her Aunt Emaline (sister of her mother Fannie) who was married to Mark Blanchard. His father took as a wife, Lydia Capen Knight Delano after his first wife's death. I will look for written info on this. All of these people were in York State and then moved to Fredricksburg, Iowa. We have lots of ground at the Rose Hill Cemetary. June...email me and I will fill you in on where I am, etc. Ginny --- "[email protected]" <[email protected]> wrote: > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to > this mailing list. > > Author: JuneMayer71 > Surnames: > Classification: queries > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.newyork.counties.allegany/1573.1.2.1.1.1/mb.ashx > > Message Board Post: > > At last-I have only information about Joseph Knight > after Iowa.
