I am trying to find the rest of my family KNAPP Family Tree. Where in England did Nicholas Knapp come from and who were his parents? I would also like to find who Elinor's parents were and where they lived.

Question by crusher45

My 8th great grandfather was Nicholas Knapp who came from England on the Arabella to America in 1630 with his wife Elinor. They arrived in MA., USA. Nicholas was born 1592.
Any info would be greatly appreciated as I have hit a brick wall!!
Nicholas had many children, Jonathan, Timothy, Joshua, Caleb, which is where my line goes. Next was Sarah, Ruth, Hannah, Moses,and Lydia. Elinor died in 1658 and Nicholas married Unity (Unica) Buxton Brown in 1659. This is all I know about Nicholas Knapp/Knepe/Cnaep/Cnepe.
Thank you,
Sharon

Check out my article http://family.cameraontheroad.com/the-myths-and-mysteries-and-hunt-for-nicholas-knapp/

I wouldn't usually just offer that and instead give you the direct link to the most well-researched documentation about the Knapp family, but that site is on Rootsweb and unfortunately still under redeployment, breaking our hearts. My article includes references and quotes from the research, as well, as my own research, that may help.

There is also a Nicholas Knapp facebook, Group I just joined. Check them out for more extensive info on thay family line.

Thabks, Lorelle

Hi, Thanks for responding so quickly. I ad found several members which were supposed to belong to the Nicholas Knapp family tree, but someone deleted all of them. The reason given was there are no ancestors to Nicholas Knapp in the United Kingdom.
So now I am wondering how that came about because Nicholas came to America on the ship
ARABELLA in 1630. The ship set sail from the United Kingdom so he must have lived there. I am stumped. Any info would be really appreciated.
Thanks,
Sharon Turnbull
