17. Henry Bond, "Genealogies of the Families and Descendants of the Early Settlers of Watertown, Massachusetts, Including Waltham and Weston ..." (Boston: The New England Historic Genealogical Society, 1860), 327.
18. All data are as given in The Great Migration Begins (note 3), 2: 1136-7 except where noted. Lists of spouses given in the Knapp Genealogy (note 7) and other secondary sources are similar, but have additional marriages for many of the children that have not yet been verified. This list follows Anderson who discounted many of these additional marriages for lack of proof. Also note his discussion and rejection of the claims that William Knopp of Watertown was a close relative of Nicholas Knapp.
19. Although Bethia's identity is given as fact by Norman Davis in his "Westchester Patriarchs" (Bowie, MD: Heritage Books, Inc., 1988), 36-7, 140, it is not confirmed by Anderson, or by Donald L. Jacobus in his, "History and Genealogy of the Families of Old Fairfield," 2 volumes in 3 (Fairfield: Eunice Dennie Bun Chapter, DAR, 1930-1932), 1: 108.
20. All from Charles W. Baird, "Chronicle of a Border Town: History of Rye Westchester County, New York 1660-1870" (Camden, ME: Picton Press [reprint], 1994), 416.
21. Stamford Town Records, 1: 20, transcription copy, 26.
22. Stamford Town Records 1: 19, 74, transcription copy, 74, 87. Some authors have claimed that she had an additional first marriage to John Disbrow, but this is unlikely since she was called Sarah Knapp in 1657.

24. Stamford Town Records, 1: 128, transcription copy, 164. See also Ferris Genealogy (note 5), vol. 2, ID no. 12.
25. Mr. Bond gave the year as "1643-4" in his Watertown Genealogies (note 17) but Anderson gives it as 1642/43 based on the original (The Great Migration Begins [note 3], 2: 1137.)
26. Early Settlement (note 10), 174, lists a marriage for her to Zerubbabbel Hoyt in 1673, but there is no such marriage in the generally reliable David W. Hoyt, "A Genealogical History of the Hoyt, Haight, and Hight Families with Some Account of the Earlier Hyatt Families..." (Providence and Boston: the author, 1871, repr. Somersworth, NH: New England History Press, 1984), 311-2.
27. Old Fairfield (note 19), 1: 250. It is sometimes claimed that she married Richard Mills but Jacobus explained that this Mills marriage instead belonged to Lydia the daughter of Roger Knapp of New Haven and Fairfield (Old Fairfield [note 19], 1: 365, 411.)"
