    John KNAPP and Elizabeth SAWYER were married in 1785. Elizabeth was probably the grandmother of Mary (VALENTINE) SAWYER and a great aunt of Benjamin (CARPENTER) SAWYER.

    DAR record 45476 references Elizabeth and John, since John's father, James KNAPP, served as a private in the Revolutionary War and was killed at the battle of Minisink. He was born in Goshen, NY.

    One of the papers from the OCGS shows that John KNAPP was married to this Elizabeth's younger sister Sarah (Elizabeth) SAWYER on 24 May 1787, suggesting that this Elizabeth died young (ca. 1786?).
