    • This source provides only the date and names of the bride and groom. Thus, this record is presumed to refer to the Daniel Knep and Susannah Hout in the baptismal record for Benjamin Knep. Because most of the original data was lost, this marriage does not appear in Scott's (1972) compilation of New York marriages before 1784.

    • Is this the Benjamin Knapp who married Hannah Kelly 27 Sep 1789? Both were from New Hempsted. They were probably the Benjemen Knep and Henne Knep who had a son Daniel b. 6 Jan 1791, bp. 8 May 1791. [3, 5]
