I recently found these passenger records and trying to place them into my family line of
Mayo's and Knowles from Chatham, Ma. Perhaps it will be of use to others on this
list.

Hi Bonnie! I looked at a genie from NEHGS regarding
Henry Knowles of R.I. I could not find any one
marrying a Jemima Austin. I did find that she had
N.H. origins. My article gave this about some other
Knowles in N.E. This is a paragraph taken before the
Henry Knowles of R.I. genealogy.
Besides the Knowles family of Rhode Island,
descendants of Henry Knowles, there were other
families of the name in New England; which apparently
had no connection with the Rhode Island family; at any
rate, their relationship to it has not been
established. Richard Knowles of Plymouth, in January
1637/38, and later of Eastham, in the Plymouth Colony,
was the ancestor of a family whose genealogy, compiled
by Charles Thornton Libby, the eminent Maine
genealogist, has been published in the Register, vol
79, pages 286-297, 379-392, (July and October, 1925)
and vol 80, pages 6-24, 119-130, 265-279 (January,
April and July, 1926). The Henry Knowles family of
Mount Desert, ME and the Knowles family of Liverpool
and Barrington, N.S., as well as Maj. Henry Knowles
and Rev. Charles Knowles, were all descended from
Richard Knowles of Eastham. Four other immigrants
named Knowles left descendants in New england, viz.,
Mr. Alexander Knowles of Fairfield, 1636, a councillor
in the New Haven Colony. Thomas Knowles, also of the
New Haven colony, 1644, John Knowles of Hampton, N.H.,
1660, for whom see Dow's "History of Hampton," vol 2,
page 778, and Cogswell's "History of Northwood," page
736 and Capt. Robert Knowles of Charlestown, Mass.,
who died in 1703, aged 36, for whom see Mr. Libby's
account in the Register, vol 79, page 287.
Two clergymen, Rev. Hansard Knowles or Knollys of
Boston, MA., and Dover, N.H. 1638-1641, and Rev. John
Knowles of Watertown, MA 1639, soon returned to
England, where both became distinguished members of
their profession and lived to be very aged, Rev. John
Knowles declining in 1672 the presidency of Harvard
College. (Cf. the Register, vol 79, pages 286-287,
Venn's Alumni Cantabrigienses, the Dictionary of
Natural Biography, under Knollys and Knowles, and
other similar works.)
Hope this helps.
