Notes |
- Esrom Knapp appears to have been recorded as Aaron Knapp in the 1860 US census. Esrom died May 5, 1890 at 52 years of age, which means he was born ca. 1838. This is the same age as the Aaron of the census. He is listed as Esren Knapp in the Wisconsin Death Index, and Esram Knapp in "American Civil War Soldiers" on Ancestry.com.
At time of military service he was 27 years old, had brown eyes, brown hair, dark complexion, was 5 feet 8 1/4 inches tall, and by occupation a farmer.
