"THE MOST PROLIFIC BROTHER"
William Knowlton

William was a bricklayer, and resided in Ipswich. He was a member of the First Church of Christ (Congregational), and a Freeman in 1641/42. He was given commonage, with pasturage for one in Plum Island. On December 12, 1643, he conveyed to Edward Bragg of Ipswich a house and lot which he had purchased of John Andrews. William died in 1655, his estate being inventoried July 17, and estimated at 27 pounds/14/1. He left his wife Elizabeth Welch, with seven children, ages two through fourteen to raise. They were Thomas, Sr., William (III), John, Samuel, Benjamin, Joseph and Mary.(We are the decendants of Mary Knowlton who married Samuel Abbe).Thomas, Sr. is the Thomas I believe that was fined 10 shillings for his wife overdressing. Although it's kind of hard to tell, with so many thomas Knowlton's running around.
