Person:Peter Knap (1)

Child's Name: Peter Knap
Date of Birth: Nov. 3'd 1741
Clerk of: Hanover
[Note: this was clearly recorded as an adult and is not indicative of birth location. Find A Grave suggests he was a son of Seth and Hannah of Rehoboth, Source:Fuller, Clarence C. Records of Robert Fuller of Salem and Rehoboth (Massachusetts) and Some of His Descendants suggests he was a son of Seth and Judith of Taunton. These have only been superficially investigated but no records of Seth were located. So, no records found to support either argument. Note: the index for this record lists the date as 30 Nov, but it looks like 3'd, and americanancestors.org plus another familysearch index appear to agree it is the third of November.]
