Hi, Helen.

The Banks book lists Nicholas and William Knapp, coming from Bures, St. Mary,
Suffolk to Watertown.

In "Directory of the Ancestral Heads of New England Families 1620-1700"
compiled by Frank R. Holmes I found:

KNAPP
From the German word knappe, a lad, boy, servant, workman; a squire. The
family originated in the province of Saxony, Germany. The English lineage
traced to Roher Knapp, of County Sussex, England, 1540.

AARON, came to Plymouth, Mass., 1638; in 1643 removed to Taunton, Mass.

NICHOLAS, b. Eng., came in 1630 to N.E.; settled at Watertown, Mass.; removed
1646 to Stamford, Conn.

ROGER, was at New Haven, Conn., 1643.

WILLIAM, carpenter, b. Eng., 1578, was at Watertown, 1630.

Regards,
Debby
