General Notes: Husband - Hiram Knapp

---

He received his primary education in the public schools of his native town, but completed his studies at Boston Hill, where he went to live with his parents. When the family removed to Pine Grove township, Warren County, Pennsylvania, he purchased a fifty acre farm, known later as the Clark farm. In the fall of 1839 he rented his farm and moved to Marsh Corners, where he leased a three hundred acre farm on shares with J. C. Newman, which they successfully operated for five years, and during this period he accumulated sufficient capital to erect a frame house on his own farm. He returned in the fall of 1844 and purchased twenty-five acres adjoining. About 1853 he sold his farm and purchased forty-two acres on the county road, one mile west of Farmington Center. Here he resided for six or seven years, then sold it and purchased seven acres of land in the Center, (Lander). Here he erected a comfortable house and barn, and there spent the remainder of his life. He was quite a singer and taught singing schools at Farmington and Boston Hill at various times. He held the offices of road commissioner and school director. He was a Universalist in religious belief, and a member of the Masonic order.
