| NOTE:
Lebbeus Knapp is the first ancestor of Nicholas that settled
in New York State. He and his three brothers, Jared, Silas and
Jonas moved from Horse Neck (now Greenwich) Connecticut to Haverstraw
New York in 1767. According to Frances Ashby Wright's papers
Lebbeus served in the militia during the Revolutionary War between
1776-1781. He was enlisted for 17 months and during his entire
service was engaged in guarding the shores of the Hudson River
around Haverstraw Bay not far from West Point. He enlisted in
the militia three times. Listed in the DAR Patriot Index. |
