Personal Information    |    Notes    |    Sources    |    Event Map    |    All

  • Name Thomas KNOWLTON  [1] 
    Birth Abt 1736 
    • This age is a low end estimate based off his military service. He would have had to have been 18 years old in 1758 when he first started serving (or older) and he could have been no older than 45 years old in 1782 his last year of service.

      Also in his father's will dated 18 Jun 1757 he is the only of the four children who is over the age of 21. It may be the case that the will was written due to his becoming and adult. So if he was 21 in June 1757 and not yet 45 in 1782 (month unknown) then 1736 seems a very good guess for his year of birth.

      Conflicting data comes from his burial which states he was aged 50 when he was burried. But that makes him too young for the above.
