August 2006 --- I was overjoyed to find your wonderful
website at
http://www.rootsweb.com/~srgp/bibles/elsbknap.htm
concerning the ELSBREE-KNAPP Family Bible
I have been searching for at least ten years for the genealogy of Elizabeth
Mahaley (Knapp) Taylor. While a widow in Washington state in 1876, she
married Samuel S. Tingley, who became one of the most important pioneers
here in Skagit County. Elizabeth was herself quite famous because she was
a midwife who delivered hundreds of Indian and white babies. Serendipity
led me to your page, after my hopes were dashed for so long, including
just this week. And we know what a lovely woman Sarah is. I finally took
a chance and entered Knapp +doctor +Pennsylvania and your site came up.
All we knew from the extensive Tingley Family Association books was
that Elizabeth was the daughter of a Pennsylvania doctor named Herman Knapp,
who married Elizabeth Easterbrook, and that the daughter was born in about
1840. If your tree is a correct match, then the first name of the father
was confused from Hiram to Herman. The mother's name is exactly correct.
And the daughter's birth year is off by only one year. The only other confirming
fact that does not yet jive is whether your Hiram was a doctor. I did find
Dr. Hiram Knapp Jr. on another site in New York state, who was in the right
age range, and I notice that your Hiram had a Hiram Jr.
The other fact that I need to check is daughter Elizabeth's marriage
to a man named ?? Taylor. She may have been widowed even before she moved
to Washington Territory, in 1872, according to our information. She had
one son by Taylor, named Warren, born in @1866.
I truly hope that this information matches. It has been a long hard
road. I publish the most extensive website on northwest Washington history
and this has been one of the toughest profiles I have yet worked on. Thank
you, Joyce for all your hard work. I have nearly 550 stories, so I know
what you go through. I also routinely commit "random acts of genealogical
kindness." And thank you, Eleanor, for posting that email on the above
mentioned web page. Please advise if I have hit the jackpot and headed
down the right country lane. Else I will still have miles to go before
I sleep...
Noel V. Bourasaw,
Thank you for your kind, prompt answer, Joyce. But meanwhile,
I had indeed entered your front door and I spent the last two hours researching
deep into your site, which the great Goddess Serendipity delivered to us.
And we have nailed it. You can narrow your follow-up to the item below
on your page:

Orwell Churches History by V. C. Detty
A HISTORY OF THE CHURCHES OF ORWELL, PENNSYLVANIA
DR. HIRAM L. KNAPP
Dr. Hiram Liscom Knapp, son of William, was born in Springfield N.Y.,
February 13, 1802, died October 18, 1864. Having studied medicine at Albany
Medical College, he settled in Orwell in 1825 and built up an extended
practice. On December 28, 1826, he married Elizabeth Haley Estabrook, who
was born May 29, 1806 in Woodstock, Windham County, Conn., the daughter
of John and Elizabeth (Howard) Estabrook, and died at Orwell in 1885. She
was a faithful attendant at the Presbyterian Church. They had eleven children,
ten of whom lived to be married, two of whom were physicians, listed in
the Genealogical and Personal History ofNorthernPennsylvania (Lewis Historical
Publishing Co., 1913). Dr. Knapp died October 18, 1864. The names of children
and other descendants follows.
Child:
Elizabeth H. Knapp, born July 8, 1839, married a Mr. Taylor, and had
a son Warren. With this son, Mrs. Taylor went west several years before
1886 to Lyman, Washington. Warren died in December, 1934. Mrs. Taylor married
Samuel Tingley, and they lived at Lyman, having five children: — May (deceased),
Ben, Henry, Martha (deceased), and Lilly Tingley.
Child:
Dr. Capella Brutus Knapp, born at Orwell, May 6, 1845, died March 9,
1896 at Hamilton, Wash., graduated from Hobart Medical College, practiced
first at Stevensville, Pa., where he married April 5, 1877, Susan Bosworth
Crandal, daughter of Dr. Edward and Electra Crandal, had five children
born in Stevensville, one in Hamilton, Wash. Mrs. Susan Knapp was a school
teacher before her marriage, and taught also in Washington State. Dr. Capella
B. Knapp was known as "Pol." He studied at Lafayette College, Easton, Pa.
He and his wife had six children:
**
Not only does that nail it, but I looked up our burial records, and
sure enough, there is her brother Capella, living just across the Skagit
River out here, from Elizabeth Knapp Taylor Tingley and her husband Samuel
Tingley. I know also know that our Elizabeth's middle name was Haley, not
Mahaley, derived from her mother's family.
I have repeated my original email to you and Eleanor below so
that Linda and Victor can come up to speed. I know that the Tingley family
out here will be overjoyed to find a whole new branch of their family whom
they assumed had been lost in the mist decades ago. This is truly a "random
act of genealogical kindness" of the highest order and my hats are off
to you.
Meanwhile, when I complete this profile of the Tingleys and Knapps
for publication, I will provide a one-page summary for your website, so
that the Knapps back there in Pennsylvania can also meet their illustrious
family out here.
Bless you, Noel, editor
