Wow...I do not recognize this Adin Knapp but it is such an unusual name. My Adin Williams
Knapp was born in 1824 in Ripley Indiana, married to Sarah Cady there in 1841 and died
there in 1905. His mother's father, Simeon Williams, came from Hartland VT and there
were many Knapps there as well. Your Adin may be a cousin of mine as many of Simeon's
relatives stayed behind in VT.
I have been working on a possible Hayden family connection as a source for the unusual
given name Adin/Aden. It is a theory that Adin Williams Knapp's grandmother's
maiden name was Hayden. Have you seen the Hayden family in your research?
