(VI) - David Moore, fifth child of William Moore (5), was born in Sudbury, Massachusetts. Family tradition has it that he lived for a time in Salem. Members of his father's family went to Salem, unquestionably, and also to Boylston. Uriah Moore, probably his father's brother, sold land in Boylston to Abijah Moore, perhaps his son, in Boylston in 1791. Uriah lived in Bolyston. Abijah died in 1796, leaving young children, for whom Henry Powers, of Berlin, was guardian. There was also in Boylston before David Moore a Hugh Moore, who left land in New Salem to his son Hugh. He was possibly of the Salem family also. David Moore probably came to Boylston to live witli relatives, for in 1805 he married a Boylston girl. As mentioned above David Moore, of Salem, was guardian of Uriah Moore and other children of Uriah Moore, and sold land in Worcester county in 1821. This David, of Salem, was born in Sud- bury, according to his son, David Moore, who was born in 1817 and was living in 1904 in Salem. He was very likely a son of one of David Moore's ( Boylston) uncles.

He married (first), April 26, 1804, Fanny Tilton, who died December 10, 1806. She was the daugh- ter of Joseph and Elizabeth Tilton, of Boylston.

Abijalı Moore, born October 1, 1757, at Princeton, son of Abijah and Eunice Moore, who was born in Prince- ton and came to Boylston to settle the estate of David Moore.

He succeeded his grandfather and carried on the farm during the active years of his life and left a competence when lie died in 1879.

The following tribute was written by a fellow townsman: "Mr. Moore was a life-long resident of this town (Boylston). His brother, E. H. Moore, was a representative in Congress from Ohio, to which state his father early removed. Mr. Moore was a very prosperous farmer and in connection with his sons at the time of his death owned and occupied one of the largest and finest farms in this section.

"Mr. Moore throughout his active life and until within a few years of his death when compelled by failing health to relinquish all care and anxiety, was an honored and useful citizen, deeply identify- ing himself with every enterprise that had for its object the promotion of the prosperity of the town and the social and moral elevation of its people. He was frequently called upon to act in official posi- tions of honor and trust, and he served the town of Boylston upon the boards of selectmen and assessors, much of the time in association with the late Capt. Andrews whom in death he so quickly followed.

"In early life he took a deep interest in educa- tional matters and served for many years upon the Boylston school committee. Possessed of abundant means, ever kind and courteous in his bearing, al- ways acting under a sense of his duty, in every de- partment of life in which he was called, he ex- hibited a firm and dignified course, carefully seek- ing and zealously guarding the rights of himself and others. Of a vigorous mind and rare and dis- criminating judgment, success was always sure to follow in whatever he undertook. He had long been a leading and perhaps one might more truthfully and unostentationsly say the leading member of the Congregational Church and Society, which he was ever ready to assist; and to his wise counsel and generous hand the church was indebted more than to anything else for its financial prosperity and by his associates in the church he will long be revered

as a faithful Christian member, a wise and true counselor and ever ready friend."

Ile married Sally Wellington, daughter of Jolin and Elizabeth (Temple) Wellington and grand- daughter of John and Mary Gould (Hurd) Welling- ton.

CHARLES HENRY KNAPP. William Knapp (1), the emigrant ancestor of Charles Henry Knapp, of Worcester, was in Watertown as early as 1030, as he is referred to in the Colonial records of No- vember 3, 1630. He died August 30, 1659, aged about eighty years, and accordingly his birth must have occurred about 1579, and he was over fifty years of age when he emigrated to New England. Nicholas Knapp also settled at Watertown in 1630, and the presumption seems warrantable that they came together from England prior to the month of March, 1630. If Nicholas was his brother he was much younger; he was not his son.

William Knapp was a carpenter by trade. He was one of the proprietors of Watertown in 1636, and in 1655 he made a deed of gift to his son, John Knapp. The will of William Knapp mentions his wife Priscilla, who was the widow of Thomas Akers, also children: William, Jr., married Mary , died September 25, 1676; John, born 1624; James, born 1627, married Elizabeth War- ren; Mary, married Thomas Smith; Judith, mar- ried Michael Cady, of Watertown; Anne, married Thomas Philbrick; her death occurred prior to the death of her father; Elizabeth, widow of

-, of St. Mary, Suffolk county, England; she sent power of attorney, December 27, 1660, for collection of her dues. Most of the estate was bought up by Nathaniel Coolidge.

(II) John Knapp, son of William Knapp (1), was born in England, possibly at Bury St. Mary's, in Suffolk county, where his sister lived, in 1624. He was also a carpenter by trade. He was ad- mitted a freeman in 1652. He sold land to John Fiske in 1666, and a very large number of real es- tate transactions of his are on the records. He married, May 25, 1660, Sarah Young, and their children were: John, born May 4, 1661 ; Sarah, born September 5, 1662; Henry, Isaac, Daniel and Abi- gail. His will was dated January 22, 1695-96, and proved April 27, 1696. His estate was administered by his brother-in-law, Henry Young. It mentions his wife Sarah, and children, Henry, Isaac, John, Daniel and Abigail.

James Knapp (IV) died about 1748, and his son James had a guardian appointed in Worcester ; the guardian was Benjamin Flagg. The Flaggs and Kings intermarried and there was some rela- tionship between the lad and his guardian. The names on the bond of James Knapp were: James Moore, John Chandler and Moses Marcy, of Wor- cester, Massachusetts.

(V) John Knapp, son of James Knapp (4), was born in Waltham or Watertown, October 31, 1731. His father died in 1748, when he was about

sixteen years of age. The probate records at Wor- cester show that on May 17, 1748, Benjamin Flagg, of Worcester, was appointed his guardian. He was described as John Knapp, son of James Knapp, late of Waltham, aged about sixteen years. The sureties and witnesses were James Moore, John Chandler and Moses Marcy, of Worcester.
