Children of WILLIAM1 and ANN ELIZABETH (SMITH) KNOWLTON, all presumably born in count Kent, England:
i. John2 KNOWLTON, b. ca. 1610; d. 8 October 1654, acc. to the geneal. Tingley, (1935, p. 190) says March 1654, both prob. wrong since acc. to Jacobus (1945, p. 267), his wf. made a will dated 20 Feb. 1653/4, he been alive., m. bef. 1633 at Ipswich, Marjory (-----) who has been called a Wilson, but Jacobus thinks she may have been a Kenning and it is known that she was sis. to the wf. of Theophilus Wilson and to Jane Kenning, poss. a dau. of John Kenning, a relationship thathas led to her erroneously being given the surname Wilson (TAG, 35:17f.).He was a shoemaker and citizen at Ipswich in 1639, made freeman there 9 June 1641, a subscriber to Maj. Denison in 1648.He accumulated considerable property.Ch.:John; Abraham (d. unm.); Elizabeth.
ii. Samuel2 KNOWLTON, b. ca. 1611 (Tingley says 1626); d. 1655, unm.He was a mariner and although presumed to be in England, was certainly at Hingham prior to 22 Sept. 1655 when inv. of his estate was taken by his nephew John.
iii. Robert2 KNOWLTON, b. ca. 1613; d.y.
iv. William2 KNOWLTON, b. ca. 1615; d. 17 July 1655 at Ipswich, MA; m. 10 January 1640 at Ipswich, Elizabeth Balch, dau. of John and Margaret (Lovett) Balch acc. To Tingley (op.cit., p. 191) or, as Jacobus (ibid.) would have it, simply Elizabeth (?).He was a bricklayer, a member of the chh. And made freeman in 1641/2.He was given pasturage for one cow, and a shore of Plum Island.On 12 Dec. 1643 he conveyed to Edward Bragg of Ipswich a house and lot which he purchased of John Andrews.The inv. of his estate was taken by Theophilus Wilson and his bro. Thomas2 on 17 July 1655, showing £37-2-1 in assets and £27-14-1 I debts.On 14 Jan. 1655/6, his wid. released her dower and conveyed his land.His bro. Thomas2 raised his three youngest ch.For some reason, Tingley gives him a sec. wf. Anne (-----) when it is clear that his wid. Is Elizabeth and Tingley does not have the same ch. as the Knowlton gen.Ch.: Thomas; Nathaniel; William; John; Benjamin; Samuel; Mary (m. Samuel Abbe).
v. Mary2 KNOWLTON, b. ca. 1617; d.y.
vi. Thomas2 KNOWLTON, b. ca. 1622; d. 3 or 12 April 1692 at Ipswich, MA, ae. 70; m. Susanna (-----); m. 2nd, 17 May 1682 at Ipswich, Mary Kimball, dau. of Richard and Mary (Scott) Kimball (but Tingley says dau of John and Mary [Bradstreet] Kimball).He had a share in Plum Island.He was a cordwainer and shoemaker, a deac. of the old First Chh.Since he had no ch., he sent his bro. William 2's boys to school and cared for a dau. until she m. as well as taking in Nathaniel, his nephew, to live with him.His will of 5 Dec. 1688 settles the matter of his childlessness since all legatees are stated to be ch. of his bro.
vii. SUSANNA2 KNOWLTON, b. ca. 1624; d. unk.; m. ca. 1650 no doubt at Hingham, MA, JOHN1 GUILFORD (see Guilford family).
Tingley (ibid.) gives them additional children as follows:Elizabeth (m. Theophilus Wilson); Jane (m. a Kenney of Salem, called [-----] KINNEY by torrey); Margery.We believe that the Knowlton genealogy has these correctly and that Tingley is in error, particularly with respect to the Kinneys whom we have studied intensively and for whom there is none to marry Jane.(See John2 above for discussion of Jane Kenning.)
