(The Kneeland Line).

Tradition says the Kneelands were among the ancient Vikings that overran northern Europe prior to the tenth century and finally settled in Scotland. Burke in his "Landed Gentry" says: "The family of Cleland (for- merly spelled Kneeland) is of great antiquity in Scotland." Anderson in his "Scottish Nation" says: "Kneeland the first of his family on record-Alexander Kneeland living in the time of Alexander III. of Scotland, married Mar-

garet Wallace, daugliter of Adam and sister of Sir Malcolm, father of Sir William Wallace." Burke says further: "William Cleland, the tenth of that ilk, eminent for his loyalty to Queen Mary, etc." Both he and his son, Cap- tain John, were eminent in their devotion to this luckless queen. The Kneelands of Amer- ica use the coat-of-arms granted Major Will- iam by Queen Mary : "A lion rampant holding a cross. Crest : A demi lion rampant holding a cross." The Clelands use the original coat- of-arms, which has probably been in the family since the days of Bruce.

The American ancestor of Caroline (Knee- land) Holbrook was a son of Captain John Kneeland, the second son of Major William Kneeland, born at Kneeland Manor, in Lanark- shire, Scotland, about 1550. He was a brave soldier and sailor and commanded several vessels, surviving shipwreck and battle to die peaceably in his own cabin and finding a sailor's grave in the sea. He was a loyal follower of Queen Mary, and inherited from his father the possessions and coat-of-arms bestowed on him by "Her most gracious Catholic Majesty" for gallant services. He married Mary Dunbar, of Dunbar Castle, a descendant of the then extinct peerage of that name, and had several children, all of whom came to America.

(V) Benjamin, fourth child of Edward (2) Kneeland, was born in Ipswich, Massachusetts, July 7, 1699. He removed in 1725 to Fram- ingham, Massachusetts, later to Hebron, Con- necticut, where he died February 18, 1743. He lived in other places, however, viz .: Oxford, Massachusetts, and Glastonbury, Connecticut. In 1736 he joined with his sons, Benjamin, John, Joseph and Isaac, in a petition for a new town to be made up of parts of Glastonbury, Hebron and Colchester. He married Abigail, whose surname does not appear in the records. Children : Benjamin, Abigail, Elizabeth, John,

Three of the sons of Isaac Kneeland, Benjamin, Isaac and Jesse, served in the revolutionary war. Content, second child of John and Deborah (Fuller) Rowley, was born at East Haddam, March 26, 1719. She was a daughter of John Fuller, born about 1655, son of Samuel and Jane (Lathrop) Fuller. Samuel Fuller came over in the "Mayflower" with his father, Ed- ward Fuller, and uncle, Dr. Samuel Fuller.

After this much had been accomplished, Benjamin sent Daniel back to Marlboro to bring back Benjamin's promised bride, while he remained behind to prepare the cabin for her coming. Late in the autumn, after a tedious journey, much of the way marked only by blazed trees, they arrived at the forest home, but no welcome awaited them, as Benjamin was dead. Grace Williams, the bride-elect, seems to have found equal favor in Daniel's eyes for they were at once married, October 23, 1803, and lived out their joint lives on the forest homestead, which Daniel cleared and made one of the best farms in the country.

Arms : "Vert a cross engrailed ermine." . Crest : "In a ducal coronet gules a goat's head argent." John Kingsley. (also Kyngesley and Kinsley) according to Savage, was of "Dorchester, Massachusetts, 1635, came probably with some

friends of Mather, and was here before him. At any rate was one of the seven pillars on formation of the new church for him, August 23, 1636, and was the last survivor. He re- moved to Rehoboth after 1648, when he was in office and in 1658, there lived and suffered the Indian hostilities, in which in a letter of supplication for relief under date of May 5, 1676, a most sad picture is given (see Trum- bull Colonial Records, vol. ii, p. 445). His will of November 2, 1677, mentions only three children : Edward, Enos and Freedom."
