KNOWLTON.
This family is believed to have come from County Kent, England, where there are a Knowlton Parish and a Knowlton Hall six miles from the city of Canterbury. The line in America is given as follows.
WILLIAM1 KNOWLTON, son of Richard and Elizabeth (Cantize) Knowl- ton, b. 1584; estate appraised, Sept. 18, 1661; m. Ann Elizabeth Smith, who survived him. He sailed from London for Nova Scotia about 1633, and settled at Hingham, Mass., about 1635. He probably died while on a visit to Nova Scotia, as he was buried there.
WILLIAM2 (William1), b. 1615; d. 1655; m. Elizabeth He was a bricklayer at Ipswich, Mass.

1. BENJAMIN6 (Rice5, Rice4, John3, William2, William1), b. Dec. 10, 1728; d. July 31, 1809; m. Phoebe Wright [d. Jan., 1813]. He came to New Ipswich about 1751, and was one of the more fortunate proprietors in respect to property. He settled upon the lot afterward known as the Chickering farm, (22, N. D.) He was a member of the first Committee of Cor- respondence and Inspection, and was also a lieutenant in the first military company of the town. He removed to New York state with his son Benjamin as early as 1808. Children :

In the Knowlton family history he is cred- ited with considerable service as a Revolutionary soldier from New Ipswich, but neither the town records nor the New Hampshire Rolls support the statement. He removed to Sangerfield, N. Y., as early as 1808, and thence to Manlius, N. Y., where he died. Children :

4. HENRY7 (Benjamin6, Rice5, Rice4, John3, William2, Wil- liam1), b. Apr. 16, 1756; m. Sybil -. He was a member of Capt. Atkinson's company in service at Coos in 1776. The family history credits him with service in the same company as his brother Benjamin, and it seems not improbable that they really served together, but not in New Hampshire troops, and that the disagreement results from that minor error.

According to the family history he lived and died in New Ipswich; but the absence of his name from the records and the entire lack of tradition concerning him unavoidably suggest an error, and that he left his home in very early manhood.

He came from England to Hartford, Conn., at the age of thirteen, expecting his father and family to follow the next year, which, however, they did not do. Hence he became an independent pioneer at an early age. He was one of the eighty-four proprietors of Farmington, Conn., and there passed his life. Some of his land, bought of the Indians, is still owned by his descendants. He was a deacon, and also a constable, which office in early days was a much greater honor than now.

He graduated from Yale College in 1827, and pursued his profes- sional study in the associated theological seminary. He was pastor in Sherborn, Mass., for six years, and in 1836 was set- tled as pastor of the Congregational church of New Ipswich, which position he held until 1860. His pastorate has been considered on a previous page, but his work was not confined within professional limits. He was interested in all lines of the town's progress and had many earnest friends among the citizens outside his church. He was a member of the school committee for nearly twenty years, and represented the town in the Legislature three times. He was also trustee of the Academy during his entire residence in town.
