Book Description

Excerpt from The Knapp Family in America: A Genealogy of the Descendants of William Knapp, Who Settled in Watertown, Mass;, In 1630, Including Also a Tabulated Pedigree, Paternal and Maternal, of Hiram Knapp This book embodies the result of investigations pursued for many years, as a diversion from other literary labor, by one who, despite his modesty, reflected much honor upon the name he bore. [See Appendix, Note A.] The author would doubtless have extended and elaborated the work before publishing it, and solved some problems that perplexed him; but the editors have chosen to present it substantially as he left it. He was extremely painstaking in his researches and cautious in his statements, so that his records may generally be relied upon. His doubts, so far as known, are indicated as such.
