Ancestor Roll Of Honor
NICHOLAS KNAPP
MASSACHUSETTS-CONNECTICUT
(c1606-1670)
Nicholas KNAPP born c1606 in England, died April 16,1670, Stamford, Fairfield Co., NY. He married Elinor (c1606-1658) ________ possibly in England c.1630. They were the parents of nine children.
Nicholas and his first wife, Elinor, departed Southampton, England March 22, 1630 to Yarmouth, England and departed April 6, 1630, to Salem, MA, arriving there June 12th and settled at Watertown, Ma. They came to New England with the "Winthrop/Saltonstall Expedition of 1630." As stated in the book,The Winthrop Fleet of 1630 (Reprint 1976), by Charles Edward BANKS, :53, QUOTE: "...As there is no known list if emigrants, who came in the Winthrop Fleet, so there is none of those who came in particular ships...."
Fortunately, for our purposes, there exists a list of seventy names of those who came with the fleet; a rough list prepared by Winthrop. Among those entered is found the names Nicholas and Elinor (????)Knapp. Possibly aboard the ARBELLA
In the Watertown Books of Town Proceedings-Books I & II he appears many times and his total inventory consisted of the following acreage: 1. An Homestall of Sixteen Acres. 2. Two Acres in Pine Marsh. 3. One Acre in Pond Meadow. 4. Thirty Acres of Upland. 5. Six Acres of Plowland. 6. Seven Acres of Meadow. 7. Thirteen Acres of Upland. 8. A Farme of One Hundred and Seventeen Acres of Upland.
The MA Colonial Records, under date of March 1, 1630/31, shows that Nicholas KNOP (KNAPP), was fined five pounds for taking upon himself to cure the scurvy by water of no worthe or value, which he sold at a very deare rate. The water had been found beneficial and the suit dropped upon payment of costs.
He sold his lands at Watertown, Ma, on May 6, 1646 and removed to Wethersfield, Hartford Co., CT then possibly Rye, CT,then possibly to Greenwich, Fairfield Co., CT and then finally to Stamford, Fairfield Co., NY where he settled and probably remained until his death in April 1770.
Nicholas KNAPP's first wife Elinor died in 1658 and Nicholas married 2. Unity the widow of Clement BUXTON Sr. within the year.

11-Probably the most current and reliable source of information relating to Nicholas and family are the condensed bibliographic sketches on families who arrived in America between 1620-1633, and is entitled "The Great Migration Begins: Immigrants to New England 1620-1633 (1995 - in 3 Volumes), by Robert Charles Anderson, F.A.S.G.. Articles relating to the ancestry of William KNOPP [not Knapp], also appear in these volumes and in earlier articles which establish William Knopp's ancestry, etc, etc., including that of his first wife, Judith Tue. These articles give sufficient extant source references to prove and disprove the many myths and statements found in early day writings and should be adhered to by conscientious Knapp Family Researchers.
SOURCE: The Winthrop Fleet of 1630 (Reprint 1976-Genealogical Publishing Company), by Charles Edward Banks
Early research found that among the passengers that came to America in 1630, Nicholas Knapp and William Knopp, were in evidence. The immigrants came to America in 1630. The Admiral ["Arbella"-formerly the "Eagle"] of the Fleet left the waters of the Castle of Yarmouth "On Thursday, April 8, at six in the morning, weighing anchor and setting sail, followed by her three consorts in scattered formation" [The Winthrop Fleet of 1630 (Reprint 1976), by Charles E Banks, :37) NOTE: Keep in mind this is in reference only to the "Arbella," as there were other ships underway when the "Arbella" set sail. The April 6 entry refers to the boarding of the "Arbella" by Captain Milbourne, of Yarmouth Castle, "a grave, comely gentleman, and of great age"[Ibid, :36]. Fortunately for the purposes of our list of immigrant passengers, there exists a list of seventy names of those who came with the Fleet; a rough list prepared by John Winthrop, and is found entered in a "flyleaf" disconnected from the main text of the original Winthrop Fleet Journal. It was from this list that ancestors Nicholas Knapp and William Knopp, with wives and children were identified. Although it does not depict the name of the ship on which these ancestors were passengers, we can be reasonably assured they were passengers aboard the "Arbella", the Winthrop Fleet Flagship. It is also recognized, that they could have been passengers on any of the other ships in the Fleet that are known to have carried passengers, as well. As stated in the source [Ibid, :53], QUOTE; "As there is no known list of emigrants who came with the Winthrop Fleet, so there is none for those who came in particular ships....". The Fleet consisted of eleven ships as follows:
+1-"Arbella" - Admiral
#2-Talbot - Vice Admiral
#3-Mayflower
+4-Whale
+5-Ambrose-Rear Admiral
+6-Jewel-Captain
#7-William & Francis
+8-Success
#9-Hopewell
#10-Trial
#11-Charles

Fred "Fritz" Knapp is a 61 year old retired US Army Veteran, hailing originally from the State of West Virginia, now residing in the State of Missouri with his family. His interest in Genealogy began on a limited basis in 1962. He began delving fully into his Knapp Line after retirement in 1981, wanting to know more about his family’s Knapp ancestry. As time passed and his interest in New England Genealogy and History became an obsession, his interest spread to the point of finding out as much as possible about the early families that in some way connected to the surname Knapp, whether related to him personally or not. Further emphasis was placed on purifying "yesteryear" mistakes found in many written compilations relating to his Knapp and Allied Family surnames, and at the same time passing his findings along to others who might have need of such information.
From: SAVAGE-COLLINS, ORIGINS & DESCENDANTS, 1630 - 1960
A Chronicle of Selected Descendants of Certain Immigrant Ancestors From
Britain, Ireland and Korea & Who Hold Connecticut In Common. Compiled &
Edited By R. Thomas Collins, Jr.
NICHOLAS KNAPP (Knap) was born in 1605 in East Anglia, probably in the
village of Bures St. Mary, Suffok. Nicholas was a weaver, one of a
growing number of Puritan weavers and artisans who not only suffered
religious persecution but also suffered economically because the long
wars in Europe cut off markets for their goods. Early spellings in
England were Cnaep, Cnepe, Knepe or Knopp. Nicholas spelled his name
Knap, the second "p" not used until the time of the American Revolution.
A Saxon name, cnoep meant hilltop, the word knob having the same origin.
Nicholas and his wife, ELINOR LOCKWOOD, a daughter of Edmund Lockwood, of
Combs, Suffolk, sailed with John Winthrop's fleet of 11 ships in 1630.
The Massachusetts Bay Company selected Winthrop governor and established
a settlement on the Shawmut Peninsula now called Boston. Nicholas and
Elinor Knapp settled in Watertown with the congregation headed by
Winthrop's associate, Sir Richard Saltonstall. Their church was
established on July 30, 1630.
On March 1, 1631, Nicholas was fined five pounds by the Massachusetts
General Court for "taking upon him to cure the scurvy by a water with no
worth nor value which he sold at a very dear rate." Unless the fine was
paid, the court said, Nicholas was to be whipped and imprisoned.
Nicholas' friend, William Pelham and his father- or brother-in-law,
Edmund Lockwood, paid three pounds of Nicholas' fine and promised the
rest later. When no one who had bought the water complained and some, in
fact, said the water helped cure their ailments, the rest of the fine was
forgiven.
By 1636, Nicholas owned 30 acres. By 1639, he owned a farm of 117 acres,
a home lot of 16 acres, 43 acres of upland, seven acres of meadow, six
acres of plowland, two acres in Pine Marsh and one acre in Pond Meadow.
On March 6, 1646, Nicholas sold everything and set out for Stamford,
Connecticut spending two years in Wethersfield before reaching his
destination in 1648. In Stamford, Nicholas owned a small mill and 16
acres of farmland. Elinor died in 1658. Nicholas later married Unity
(Buxton) Brown, the second wife and widow of PETER BROWN. Nicholas, who
died in 1670, and Elinor (Lockwood) Knapp had nine children, including a
daughter, Ruth, and a son, Joshua.
The following is from "The Great Migration Begins: Immigrants to New England 1620-1633" by Robert Charles Anderson:

v SARAH, b. Watertown 5 January 1638/9 [WaVR 5]; m. Stamford 6 April 1657 Peter Disborough [TAG 10:112].
vi RUTH, b. Watertown 6 January 1640/1 [WaVR 8]; m. Stamford 20 November 1657 Joseph Ferris [TAG 10:112].

ix LYDIA, b. say 1647; m. Fairfield 16 January 1666/7 Isaac Hall [FOOF 1:250].
ASSOCIATIONS: See WILLIAM KNOPP for a discussion of suggestions of a relationship between William and Nicholas.
COMMENTS: 1 March 1630/1: "Nich: Knopp is fined œ5 for taking upon him to cure the scurvy by a water of no worth nor value, which he sold at a very dear rate, to be imprisoned till he pay his fine, or give security for it, or else to be whipped, & shall be liable to any man's action of whom he hath received money for the said water" [MBCR 1:83]; on 7 August 1632 "œ3 of Knop's fine of œ5 remitted" [MBCR 1:99]; at the general amnesty of 6 September 1638 it was noted that part of this fine "was paid, & the rest was remitted" [MBCR 1:243].
In the Beaverbrook Plowlands Nicholas Knapp received six acres, and in the Remote Meadows seven acres. Since these lands were granted in part on household size, this would suggest a birth in the interval between the two grants; the birth of Caleb fell exactly one month before the Beaverbrook Plowlands grant, and it may be that this was not taken into account for the Beaverbrook Plowlands grant, but was for the Remote Meadows grant.
At the date of the Remote Meadows grant of seven acres, the Nicholas Knapp family was known to have five members: Nicholas, wife Elinor, and sons Timothy, Joshua and Caleb. This permits the possibility that there were one or two more persons in the household, not necessarily children; but the difference might also be explained if Nicholas had sufficient wealth in cattle, the other criterion for the size of these grants.
