The Knapp Family Bible was given by J. H. Knapp to his grandson, John Henry Knapp of New York. The author of the writing within it is not clear, but it likely is Mehitable (Heatty) Covell Ackerman Knapp, John’s second wife. It takes a little to unscramble this family, but both William Ackerman and John Knapp married Mehitable (Heatty) Covel. William first in 1784. After his death in 1798, Heatty married as her 2nd husband, John Knapp. While the Bible was handed down to John, the inclusion of William Ackerman and her children would presume that she was the writer.

Knapp Family Bible images
This family may have ties to the Ackerman families of Ontario. I do have very distant Ackerman relatives in my famiy in the areas of Kingston to Prince Edward County and beyond.
I have my eleventh GGrandparents of William Knapp 1495-1599 and his wife Lady Julian Jane Child’ 1472-1552. I have all the descendants down to my 5th Great Grandmother Esther Knapp Francis 1740-1821. She was married to William Francis 1737-1808. This is very interesting to me as it looks like I have all the prior generations.
Hello Robert, I am looking for any information on my second great grandmother, Emma Knapp, born in Connecticut around 1858 or 59. She married George Place and moved to Huntington.
