INDEX
Notes
!OK001 Knowles Gen- It is not known whether, on removing to CT, he at first
settled near his brother-in-law, Cpat Cornelius (3) Knowles, on the east side;
but he tok part in the first movement into the interior of the country east of
the Connecticut River, and in the first valuation of the settlement at the
mouth of Pocotopogue Lake, presently organized as the Parish of East Hampton,
he is shown to have been one of the largest investors in making that
settlement. His name is on the petition, dated 29 Apr 1743, for establishing a
church at that place, as are also the names of the Norcotts, who had sold their
farm in Eastham to Col Samuel (3) Knowles. His inventory showed a grist mill
and a bolting mill, presumably located on Pocotopogue Stream. He left no will,
but the distribution of his estate ordered by the court discloses his surviving
children.
