Events

Knick Lineage	1740	1. HJ / 2. Lourens / 3. Harmanus / 4. Lawrence (this person)
Knick Generation Number	1740	4
Knick References	1740	See the report "The Knickerbockers of Amenia NY" on knic.com.
Birth	Jan 1740	Birth date from Van Alstyne. Lawrence & brother Harmon were the founders of a large Ontario Co clan of Knickerbockers. - Amenia, Dutchess County, NY
Marriage	11 Feb 1767	From church records. It appears he also had a wife Mary, based on tombstones of youngsters Silas & Samson Knickerbocker. Deborah and Mary might have been the same person, but I'm showing them separately, for now. - Amenia, Dutchess, New York, USA - Deborah (1stwoHarman) MARTIN
Residence	1799	Amenia, Dutchess, New York, USA
Residence	1801	Amenia, Dutchess, New York, USA
Property	1808	In 1808 and 1809, Lawrence sold parcels for 1 cent each to his kids. No doubt: the deeds contain the words "son" or "daughter". Sons Benjamin, David, Lawrence Jr. Daughter Mary. - Gorham, Ontario County, New York, USA
Property	1809	In 1809, Lawrence sold 100 acres to Harmen Knickerbocker for $500. The deed does not say how the two men were related. Clearly not father and son (since Lawrence sold land for 1 cent to his kids.) My guess is that Harmen was brother of Lawrence. - Gorham, Ontario, New York, United States
Residence	1810	Gorham, Ontario, New York, United States
Death	1814	Will was witnessed in May 1814, and proved in July 1814. Left everything to son Benjamin. No mention of any other relatives. (Wife was already gone, and he had already transferred property to each child for 1 cent each.) - Ontario County, New York, USA
Probate	2 Jul 1814	Ontario, New York, USA
