Joshua Knapp, Jr (Joshua, Nicholas)129 was born Abt. 1662 in Stamford, CT, and died Abt. 1750 in Greenwich, CT. He married (1) Elizabeth Reynolds 16 March 1686/87 in Greenwich, CT130, daughter of Jonathan Reynolds and Rebecca Husted. He married (2) Unknown [see NOTES for Joshua Knapp, Jr] Aft. 1710 in Fairfield Co, CT. Notes for Joshua Knapp, Jr: Research of his presumed second marriage does not bear any evidence that he married secondly, Abigail Butler. Greenwich Commonplace Books, indicates that Abigail Butler, daughter of Walter Butler, married Daniel Marshall. Daniel Marshall, died in 1727. Records do not reveal whether his widow, Abigail, remarried. Clarence Almon Torrey, in his book, "Marriages prior to 1700", indicates a marriage to an Abigail(?), but questions the entry. If Joshua married secondly to Abigail Butler, it would obviously have had to occur after 1727, unless there is another Abigail Butler that has not been identified in the records. No doubt he probably remarried, and quite possible to a lady named Abigail, whose maiden name is not indicated. Doubtful that Joshua would have remained a Widower for any great length of time, as he had several children, all ranging in age from a few months to the age of 12, at the death of Elizabeth Reynolds, in 1710. Even if he married a second time, he evidently had no children born of that marriage, as there is no record of any children beyond those reflected in this report. This report reflects a second marriage to "Unknown" in view of the absence of an official record to prove otherwise. At best, if he married a second time, his second wife should be reflected as "Unknown", pending proof to the contrary. For more information relating to Abigail Butler, daughter of Walter Butler, refer to "Early Records of Greenwich, CT" [formerly called "Commonplace Books"], :610 and the Will of Daniel Marshall, dated 10 Feb 1726/27, Fairfield Co, CT - Probate Records - Greenwich Probate District, VIII:78. A reference to the second marriage of Joshua Knapp, to Abigail (Butler) Marshall, is said to exist in the "Early Records of Greenwich, CT", :595. However, all attempts to gain a copy of this source has been fruitless, and if such exists, could clear up the problems stated here.

Sarah Knapp131,132, born 1706 in Greenwich, CT; died in Greenwich, CT. She married Peter Sewell133,134 12 April 1722 in Greenwich, CT.
Another records says that this Sarah Knapp, married Peter Sewell, which is doubtful, as the 2d Congregational Church record clearly calls her Sarah Reynolds, nee' Knapp, daughter of Joshua Knapp, Jr and now wife of Peter Reynolds. It may be that Peter Sewell was a second husband???
BURIED : Greenwich, CT RESIDED AT: Greenwich, CT RELIGION: Congregationalist CHURCH AFF: 06 November 1728, 2d Congregational Church Greenwich, CT
A son Peter, said to have been born in 14 Dec 1718 and claimed as a son of Peter of this writing, is either in error or is the product of an unknown first wife. More research is required to solve this problem.
