Generation: 1

  1. 1.  Patience Knapp was born Abt 1820, VT (daughter of Remington Knapp and Clarissa Leland); died 1828, VT.

Generation: 2

  1. 2.  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. 3.  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. 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. 1. Patience Knapp was born Abt 1820, VT; died 1828, VT.
    7. George Knapp was born Abt 1823, VT; died 1843.


Generation: 3

  1. 4.  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. 5.  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.

  3. 6.  Joseph Leland was born 1767; died 1816, Barton, Orleans Co. VT.

    Notes:

    Joseph was s/o Jesse Leland of Johnston, RI (source: "The Leland Magazine," p 162, Google Books).

    Joseph — Abigail Healey. [Group Sheet]


  4. 7.  Abigail Healey
    Children:
    1. 3. Clarissa Leland was born Abt 1790, RI; died Aft 1 Jun 1850, VT.


Generation: 4

  1. 8.  David Knapp was born Abt 1705.

    Notes:

    On 26 Apr 1738, Zachariah Rhodes deeded land in Pawtuxet to his son-in-law, David Knapp of Warwick, and his wife Patience (source: New England Historic Genealogical Register Vol 114 p 282).

    David Knap of Gloucestor, cordwainer, bought a mansion house and lot in Warwick bordering other land David owned, 2 MAR 1746/47 Gloucestor, Providence County, RI (source: Warwick Land Records Vol 8 p 85; cited in family tree of Guy/Sam Wallis at Rootsweb's Worldconnect).

    David Knap bought land in Warwick adjoining Zachariah Rhodes in 1735. He must have been at least 21 years of age at that time (source: Warwick Land Records Vol 5 p 303; cited in family tree of Guy/Sam Wallis at Rootsweb's Worldconnect).

    David Knap is listed in the 1777 Warwick census as being over 60 years of age (source: Rhode Island Military Census 1777; cited in family tree of Sam Wallis at Rootsweb's Worldconnect).

    A Nehemiah Knapp died at Pawtuxet at about age 78 in 1815 (b c1737). Could he have been a son of David & Patience?

    Also, they may have had a daughter named Hester or Esther, who married at Warwick, 6 Sep 1761, to William France (Warwick Vital Records).

    David married Patience Rhodes Abt 1730. Patience (daughter of Zachariah Rhodes) was born Abt 1707. [Group Sheet]


  2. 9.  Patience Rhodes was born Abt 1707 (daughter of Zachariah Rhodes).
    Children:
    1. Mary Knapp was born Abt 1737.
    2. 4. David Knapp, Jr. was born Abt 1747; died Between Jun and Sep 1830, Johnston, Providence Co., RI.

  3. 10.  Joshua Remington was born 1720 (son of John Remington and Mariam Blackington); died 15 Aug 1787; was buried , Johnston, RI.

    Notes:

    I have not as yet confirmed that Joshua is John's son, as indicated on the ancestry chart by Boyd Scott Remington. However, it is a reasonable assumption, particularly since Joshua had a daughter named Mariam, probably named after Mariam Sweet.

    Joshua became a freeman in 1742, was appointed fence viewer for Johnston in 1759, and highway overseer in 1768. He is listed in the 1777 Military Census at Johnston, RI, along with sons Stephen & Joshua, Jr..

    BSR says Joshua's grave is in a cemetery on Central Ave., Johnston, but there is no listing in the RI Cemetery Database. Perhaps there was no stone, or the stone has been taken.

    Several cemeteries in Johnston are now labeled as "missing."

    Is he the one who built the Remington farmhouse on Central Ave.? According to information on the back of the photo, it was built in 1713.

    I have estimated the birth years for some of Joshua's children.

    Joshua married Elizabeth King Abt 1747. Elizabeth (daughter of John King) was born 1730; died 18 Apr 1824, RI. [Group Sheet]


  4. 11.  Elizabeth King was born 1730 (daughter of John King); died 18 Apr 1824, RI.

    Notes:

    She is probably the Elizabeth Remington listed at Johnston, RI, in the 1800 Federal Census (listed next to Mary King).

    Dr. Moses Mowry's Day Book (of Johnston) has the following entry -- I don't know if it refers to this particular Elizabeth:
    "Elizabeth Remington was born the 16th day of January AD 1732."

    Children:
