I'm pretty sure I finally figured out where John came from. Here's my conjectured
family group of origin:
Sebastian Ludwig KNAUSS, b. 6-14-1794 Northampton, PA; ?Tuscarawas, OH 1820 as Lewis
KNOUSE; this family is conjectured to connect with him
sp-Lucy ____, b ca 1787 MD
Lewis KNOUSE, b ca 1824 OH; Dover, Tuscarawas Co, OH 1850, 1860 as Lewis KNAUSE
sp-Susanna ____, b ca 1825 OH
John KANOUSE, b ca 1829 OH
sp--Margaret SHAFER, b ca 1829 OH
There are almost certainly other children of Sebastian Ludwig, who apparently went by
Lewis, and it's very important to note that John's son was named Lewis, which was
not a common name in the family.
Lewis in turn was a son of these two:
John Ludwig KNAUSS, b. 5-19-1759 Salisbury, Lehigh, PA; d. 4-24-1832 nr Sharon, Tuscarawas
OH; m 11-25-1783; svd Rev. War; Tuscarawas, OH 1820 as KNOUSE
sp(1)--Mary Magdalena KLEIN, b. 3-5-1764 Saucon Valley, Northampton, PA; d. 8-18-1827
Sharon, OH
