| I also a direct decendent of Capt. William.
You can e-mail me at GrandmaXray@aol.com. Hello cousin. Our connection
is way back but a connection just the same |
|
|
|
I too can trace my direct line back to Capt.
William Knowlton wife Ann Elizabeth Smith. Looks like you descend from
their son John. I descend from their 4th son, William ( 1615 to 1665).
I have traced my direct line, and many branches, from Capt. William to
the present.
Fun stuff, this family research!

Hi Thomas
I can fill in the question marks on Nathaniel Knowlton who
was married to Elizabeth Dean. He was christened 12 May 1717
in Ipswich, Essex, Mass. He died 25 Feb 1812 in Mass. He married
Elizabeth Dean 25 Dec 1742 in Ipswichm Essex, Mass.
I don't know any more about them as the line I am following is
through his brother Samuel who was born 5 Mar. 1720. I can, however
take you back 3 or 4 generations beyond William Knowlton and Ann
Elizabeth Smith. If you are interested let me know. |
|
|
|
| I am very interested in any information on
William and Ann and prior lineage. Do you have any information on
Knowlton MAnor and anything more about William's voyage to Nova Scotia
and or the location of his head stone on Sable Island? Any additional
information woould be greatly appreciated. TKF |
|
|

Re: Earlier posts of Tod Knowlton and Linda Blevins
My direct line is William,b 1614. Any information is appreciated. They died in Ipswich, Ma..
Would
you have the linage going back from Richard K.and Elizabeth Orcantiz? I
had tried to email Linda Blevins earlier but she changed address.
I'm
getting the feeling a large family as I have no parents, aunts, uncles,
cousins. Now I may have cousins many times removed. Your help is most
appreciated.PCK |
|
|
|
Thomas
I should have given you my e-mail address as I
check it more often than I do the message board.
You can reach me at al-mar@excite.com |
|
|
|
| Since my last posting my email address has changed from k2621@webtv.net to k2621@frognet.net |
|
|
|
| I think it is your ancestor book that I saw a
few weeks ago. It was the first time I had seen my family traced back
to Richard Knowlton b. 1553 in England. You took the information from
"Rev. Stocking's Knowlton Genealogy." Do you know where I could find
that book? Also, do you still have copies of your book? |
|
|
|
I was wondering if you might have anything on a
Susannah Knowlton, who married Azariah Mitchell
in 1762, New London Co.,CT. They were in Ontario
Co.NY by 1800. Azariah died there in 1801.
Have lost Susanna after that. I would like to
know what happened to Susannah who were her
parents sibblings. Any help appreciated.

|
| I am a direct decendent of Capt William
Knowlton. And I have gone through a direct line (which inclused my
father Louis Knowton) to the original Knowlton in 1066 in Kent England. |
|
|
|
Would you please post the lineage beyone Capt William.
My understanding is that the Lineage beyond Capt William
is not reliable and therefore most likely NOT accurate.
Please check the Knowlton Website for more information.

|
|
| I have some history past Capt William. But I
don't know if it is what you may want. From my branch of the Knowlton
name there was a Knowlton that took his wife's name to become Knowlton
and that was in France. True, my branch and Capt William's were from
Kent County in England. But I go back to 1066. E-mail me at
lindablevins@webtv.net for further information. Linda |

|
|
He sounds like my ancester as well...
He settled in mass. after coming here
sometime in the 1630's.......
My later ancesters had a hat factory in West
Upton Mass. in the late 1880's - early
1900's |
|
|
|
| I don't think we are directly related. But what was the name of the people who had the hat factory. Linda Blevins |
|
|
|
He would be my great grandfather
with the same name, daniel knowlton,
that had the hat factory way back.... |
|
|
|
| My father was Louis T Knowlton, Grandpa was
Fred Gastman Knowlton, Great grandpa was Hazen Knowlton Great, great,
great grandpa was Nathaniel W and on and on and on. Where do you fit in
this family? Let me hear from you as I think it rather neat that
someone is willing to talk to be about the great family. |
|
|
|
those names don't ring a bell.
my dad has a big family tree chart, size
of a big picture, in his house that was compiled by my grandfather....I will have to check that out the next time I visit....
dan |
|
|
|
The capt william knowlton, I'm related to
came here in 1633 and settled in Ipswitch, Mass according to the family tree drawn up by my grandfather..... |
|
|
|
| Dan - when did he "come" to Ipswitch? The
Capt William I have died in 1639 and not in Mass. Where was he born?
Also when was he born? |
|
|
|
| My records show that Capt. William died on
the westward voyage in 1632, and his widow (Elizabeth) and children
proceeded to Nova Scotia where he was buried, they remained only a
short time. The next mention of them is in Ipswich, Mass, where his son
John became a resident in 1639. Information taken from the "History and
Genealogy of the Knowltons of England and America", 1897. |
|
|
|
| Hi - another person heard from. Just kidding.
What is your William father's name and was William the first or last
child? Where can I get "History and Genealogy of the Knowltons of
England and America"? In RootsWeb.com go to Fred Knowlton and then
progress back to William. |
|
|
|
| This does get rather confusing since the same
names keep recurring. The first mention of Capt. William Knowlton I
have is on the voyage from London for Nova Scotia in 1632-34. William
born in 1610 married Ann Elizabeth Smith. They also had a son William
who married a woman named Ann Elizabeth. The name William continues to
appear over time, in fact my brother is named William Appleton
Knowlton. More to follow as I dig through the history. |

|
|
|
| You can find the history books about the
Knowltons at the New England Genealogical Historical Society in Boston.
I am also related to Capt. William Knowlton down through Rachel
Knowlton who married John Chapman in Maine. My email is
amoskeag@ma.ultranet.com if anyone wants to trade information. |

| Barnes and Noble has the book you are looking for. The hardbound is $99 and they also have it in paperback. |

I will have to get more info off
the family tree chart my dad has...
on any death date...It mentions capt william knowlton is a ancester to all new england and candian branches of the knowltons.
He stopped in canada on the way to what would be the US and married a woman
from there..... |
|
|
|
| This is strange. The William I show was born
in 1584 in Kent, England. Married Ann Elizabeth about 1605 in England.
They had 6 children: John (Which I am related to) b in 1610 in Kent;
Samuel b 1611 in Kent; Robert b in England (didn't say where) Wiliam b
in 1615 in Canterbury; Mary b in 1617 in England (didn't say where) and
Thomas b in Kent. Also it shows William died about 1639 in Nova Scoatia
or at sea. But Burial in Shelburne, Nova Scotia. Emigrated between 1632
and 1634. Does this sound right to you. Please let me know. Sincerely,
Linda |

Hi,
I took some notes from the
family tree chart today...Capt william (from Kent County England) has
some records of him dieing on the way to the new world in 1633 and
buried in Nova Scotia, like you mentioned. There are also accounts he
made it here and landed in Newtowne (now Cambridgeport I guess in Ma.)
Settleing in Hingham Ma. His wife name was Ann. He was owner or
co-owner of the boat that they arrived on and it was suppose to look
something like the Mayflower.
(that is all from the research my grandfather did)
Capt William's son, William that was
born in England in 1615, settled in Ipswitch
Ma. His name showed up on town records there
in 1641 being granted some land.....He died
in Sept 1655 in Ipswitch.....
I'm decented from his family according to the tree chart my grandfather did many years
ago......
Hope this helps, wish I could find more
about the Capt.....

Hi - I think we are on the same wave-length.
My mom and dad went searching cemetaries and looking at grave stones
and they found Capt William buried in Nova Scotia. Now how that can
happen I really don't know. But it looks as tho we are some type of
cousin. Shrt tail maybe - but still cousen. Your Wlliam born in 1615 is
the BROTHER to John who I descened from. William and Ann had 6
children. John b in 1610; Samuel b in 1611; Robert b in 1613; William b
in 1615; May b in 1617; and Thomas b in 1622. All the kids were born in
England around Kent County. One of my ancesters was and undersheriff of
Kent County. I too and heard that Williams' ship looked like the
Mayflower in fact in grandmother tried to tell me that we came to
America on the Mayflower. Daddy went all over New England and Canada to
get the information that he got and he was able to trace back to 1066.
Does your chart show Capt Williams Mother and Dad? I imagine if you
could get in touch with some Canadian Knowltons then you could find out
more about Capt William.....
Thanks so much Cous---- |

Hi,
My chart starts with Capt
william on the top of the Knowlton branch and proceeds down the tree
limb to the base of the tree with my grandparents, my dad and aunt
are..
No references to the Capt's parents....
Someone should check the old town records in Hingham, Ma for possible references to the Capt.
Dan |
|
|
|
Hi Dan
Would you like what I have in regards to William's parents?
Linda |
|
|
|
Hi,
that would be interesting to have some
info on the capt. parents....
thanks..
|
|
|
|
| Hi - well it has taken me awhile but here it
is. On Capt William there is a note stating the following: "William,
wife and children left England in the Spring of 1632, leaving no word
of their desination. They left alone with no crew. The difficult
passage to the New World took about seven weeks, and apparently toward
the end of the voyage Wiliam fell ill and died. The family, with wife
Ann Elizabeth Smith now piloting the ship, made landfall in Nova
Scotia. They buried Captain William Knowlton on Cape Sable Island, Nova
Scotia. In 1839 a land surveyor names Alphonso Wells came across an
ancient grave there will 'William Knowlton - 1632' carved on a homemade
headstone. It is understood that this headstone still stands. After the
death of William, the family wintered in Nova Scotia; and then in 1633
sailed down the New England coast to the fledgling Puritan colony of
Ipswich, Essex Co., Massachusetts. Ann and the children joined the
colony and remained there for many years." Interesting. William's
father was Richard Knowlton born 1553 and died in 1632 in England. Born
in Knowlton Manor Kent England and laid to rest in Canterbury. He was
married to Elizabeth Cantize. Richards parents Edward Knowlton B 1520
and d 1580 M to Elizabth (Payton) Peyton. Edward's parents John b 1490
and d 1550 m Dorothy Lyndal. John's parents Sir William de Langley b
unknown d unknown m Christian Knowlton. Note: William de Langly married
Christian Knowlton. For unknown reason Sir William adopted the Knowlton
surname and became SIR WILLIAM KNOWLTON (Cite: 1996 posting in
ftp.lglobal.com/pub/benetech/knowlton website.) Very interesting.
Somewhere around my house I have further back on the family. I will try
and find this information and get back to you. Hope this helps. Bye

| In the Knowlton History it stated that Capt.
William was buried in Shelbourne, Nova Scotia. Is that on Cape Sable
Island? Thanks, Virginia |
|
|
|
| Another question, what note on William Knowlton? Is there another book out there? Or a family diary? Thanks again. Virginia |
