She was a 4-foot, 11-inch dynamo. Her father was named after the mythical Knyvet family which H.G. Somerby confused the Sears with in his research. David Sears [5768] retained Somerby, the leading genealogist of Great Britain in the 1830s and turned the information over to Rev Edmund H Sears[7108] who did the original genealogy based on the errors. Somerby's own copy of the Sears genealogy in the British Museum has a note on the front page "not to be shown to the public" and there is a letter from Sir Bernard Burke expressing his concern and deciding he would not circulate the book. Fifty years later my folks commissioned Dr Samuel May to update the genealogy, and he discovered these mistakes - and made a lot of his own."( e.g. He shows Clara's middle name as Payson.) !BIRTH-BIOGRAPHY: W J Burke and Will D Howe, Editors, American Authors and Books; 1640-1940; New York, Gramercy Publishing Co, 1943; pp 674-675; Book in Duncan Public Library, Duncan, OK; Author-Bronson Alcott's Fruitlands (1915); The Bell-Ringer (1918); The Romance of Fidler's Green (1922); Days of Delusion (1924); Whispering Pines (1930); The Great Powwow (1934); WInd from the Hills, and Other Poems (1936); etc. Compiler- Glenaings from Old Shaker Journals (1916).
