Hi Sharon,
I don't think there's been much if any exchange on the Knowltons on this list. My great grandmother was the daughter of Daniel Knowlton and Rachel Olney, Mary aka Polly. I have the husbands and wives of her siblings but haven't so far tried to get their children so I don't know where Obed fits in. Could you and Stephen enlighten me as to how Obed and his brothers are descended from Daniel? That was certainly a seafaring family.
