Notes
Birth
Capt. John Knowles was born about 1614 in England. I've heard he was one of the original settlers of Jamestown but don't find him on the list of one of the first 3 boats that came over. He appeared in the colony by 1663. Finally he leaves a will in which the only people he mentions are his beloved children William & Bethenia. However William never sells any of the land...Bethenia's husband William Giles does. All we can assume is William died too. John's loving friends Capt. Henry Isham & William Byrd are executors of his estate.Endnotes
