Generation: 1

  1. 1.  William Pratt was born Abt 1848 (son of Richard Pratt and Mary Knapp).

    Notes:

    In 1860 William Pratt appears to be age 13, living with the Fairbanks family at Newark, Caledonia Co., VT.


Generation: 2

  1. 2.  Richard Pratt

    Richard — Mary Knapp. Mary (daughter of Remington Knapp and Clarissa Leland) was born Abt 1814, VT; died Aft 1 Jun 1880. [Group Sheet]


  2. 3.  Mary Knapp was born Abt 1814, VT (daughter of Remington Knapp and Clarissa Leland); died Aft 1 Jun 1880.

    Notes:

    On the Federal Census of 1880, Mary Pratt is age 60, living at Morgan, Orleans Co., VT. With her is son William 32, and brother David Knapp 65.

    In the Federal Census of 1850, Mary appears to be single, as Mary Knapp 35 VT, living with her siblings and their mother (probably). However, in 1880 she is Mary Pratt and has a son William born c 1848. Either she was already widowed/divorced by 1850, or else she was married after 1850 and adopted an older child.

    Children:
    1. 1. William Pratt was born Abt 1848.


Generation: 3

  1. 6.  Remington Knapp was born Abt 1785, RI (son of David Knapp, Jr. and Mariam Remington); died Abt 1827, Barton, Orleans Co., VT.

    Notes:

    A deed signed on 25 May 1841 in Barton, Orleans Co., VT, and recorded at Johnston, RI, on 15 December 1841, refers to the mother of Remington Knapp as Mariam Knapp (see Deeds, Vol. 10, p. 494; top shelf at Johnston Town Hall). The original of this deed was signed by his children Nancy, David, Mary, & Abigail, and witnessed by James Salsbury and John H. Kimball, Justice of the Peace for Orleans County, VT.

    See notes for Clarissa.

    Remington married Clarissa Leland Abt 1810. Clarissa (daughter of Joseph Leland and Abigail Healey) was born Abt 1790, RI; died Aft 1 Jun 1850, VT. [Group Sheet]


  2. 7.  Clarissa Leland was born Abt 1790, RI (daughter of Joseph Leland and Abigail Healey); died Aft 1 Jun 1850, VT.

    Notes:

    Clarissa was d/o Joseph Leland and Abigail Healey; Joseph was s/o Jesse Leland of Johnston, RI.

    This is likely the family group in the 1850 Federal Census at Barton, Orleans Co., VT: David Knapp 38 VT, Claude 62 RI, Mary 35 VT, Nancy 40 VT, and Abigail 32 VT. "Claude" is probably Clarissa.

    Children:
    1. Nancy Knapp was born Abt 1810, VT; died Aft 1 Jun 1850.
    2. David Knapp was born Abt 1812, VT; died Aft 1 Jun 1880.
    3. 3. Mary Knapp was born Abt 1814, VT; died Aft 1 Jun 1880.
    4. Joseph Knapp was born Abt 1816, VT; died 1828.
    5. Abigail Knapp was born Abt 1818, VT; died Aft 1 Jun 1880.
    6. Patience Knapp was born Abt 1820, VT; died 1828, VT.
    7. George Knapp was born Abt 1823, VT; died 1843.


Generation: 4

  1. 12.  David Knapp, Jr. was born Abt 1747 (son of David Knapp and Patience Rhodes); died Between Jun and Sep 1830, Johnston, Providence Co., RI.

    Notes:

    This Knapp family needs more research.

    The will of David Knap of Johnston was dated 8 Jan 1826 and proved 18 Sep 1830. It mentions his wife Naomy; three sons: Zachariah, Joseph, & Moses; and one daughter, Lydia, who is single.

    I am not sure how many times this David Knapp was married -- see all notes for David and his supposed wives. It may be that there were two David Knapp Jrs and that this family data should be divided between the two.

    A David Knapp of Warwick, son of David, married Anne Griffin of Exeter, d/o Isaac, at West Greenwich 8 Dec 1768. Could this be the same David Knapp? I have made an assumption here that it is the same David (needs more research to confirm). Therefore, I am not absolutely certain that both of these marriages belong to the same David Knapp. Could Mariam have been his first wife and Anne the second? I have not positively resolved this. It could even have been a second marriage for his father, who may have also been a son of David.

    See notes for David's son Remington Knapp. It is confirmed that his mother is Mariam. However, I don't know exactly when Remington was born.

    There are two possible children for David & "Anne" Knapp: Moses B. b 2 Sep 1798, and Patience b c1787 (md. Laban Tefft Apr 1807 Johnston). If this is the same couple that were married in 1768, then Mariam must have been his first wife, or else the wife of another David Knapp. Or, Anne could have been a nickname for Mariam, also. As an alternative, David could have had a third wife also named Anne.

    In the Federal Census of 1830, a David Knapp is listed at Johnston, RI. In the household are 3 males age 30 < 40, one male 80 < 90, one female 30 < 40, and one female 60 < 70. I have assumed the elderly gentleman age 80 - 90 is this David Knapp. The female is probably his wife "Naomy" mentioned in his will.

    The Knapp property was located on Central Avenue in Johnston, west of what is now Route 5/Atwood Ave. Mariam's brother Caleb Remington and family members are buried at "the Knapp place."

    Again, please be advised that I am not absolutely sure of these marriages for David, or of the exact birthdates of the children, or of which children belong to which wife. I have pieced David's likely family together as best I can, given the data I have, along with additional data from family trees at Rootsweb's Worldconnect to fill in some gaps.

    A question which remains is, is Mariam referred to in some of the vital records as Anne? Moses is identified as son of David & Anne, not David & Mariam.

    David married Mariam Remington Abt 1775. Mariam (daughter of Joshua Remington and Elizabeth King) was born Abt 1753; died Abt 1794. [Group Sheet]


  2. 13.  Mariam Remington was born Abt 1753 (daughter of Joshua Remington and Elizabeth King); died Abt 1794.

    Notes:

    I have roughly estimated Mariam's birth year. She may have been born later.

    It has been said that Mariam & David went to Bartonsville, VT (needs more research).

    David's third wife as shown on my family tree -- named Anne -- may actually be Mariam -- possibly a nickname (?). However, his first wife was Anna. One genealogy says that Mariam died c1835 at Johnston. David's will mentions his wife as Naomy.
