Events

Knick Lineage	1827	1. HJ / 2. Peter / 3. Abraham / 4. John / 5. Bolivar (this person). This is tenuous, based on Bolivar's connection to NYC (where very few Knickerbockers lived).
Knick Generation Number	1827	5
Birth	Mar 1827	Mentioned in various civil war documents. None of the references provide any hint of his lineage. However, death certificate of daughter Bolivia says that father Bolivar was born in NYC. This limits the candidates who could be his father. - New York City, New York, USA
Extra information	1828	Was 1st name Bolivar or Boliva? Good picture of tombstone on Findagrave. "Boliva" without an R. Military records suggest Bolivar.
