    Notes:

    Name:
    The "Descendants of Nicholas Knapp" from The USGenWeb Project- Fairfield County, Ct, states the following: Hannah, in many circles is claimed to have married Zerubabel Hoyt, son of Walter & Rhoda (Tinker)(Hobbs)(Taylor) Hoyt. The only record for such marriage is found in the Nicholas Knapp Genealogy (1953),: 1. Beyond that there is no foundation for the claim. The Hoyt Genealogy reflects Zerubabel with an "Unknown" first wife, whose identification remains unknown. Edwin Hall in his extracts of the Norwalk Records (1847), reflects nothing relative to the first marriage of Zerubabel Hoyt and the Stamford Records that are extant do not present any future for her. Thus claims to a marriage and/or death as found in many early day publications must be considered in error.

    Based on the findings found in 1995 research (The Great Migration Begins: Immigrants to New England 1620-1633,: 1137), no further record is known to exist as pertains to Hannah Knapp's future. She is last identified in the 15 Apr 1670 Will of her father, Nicholas and then a single woman. To indicate anything otherwise as pertains to her or her future would be nothing more than pure speculation
