Description	:	There is no evidence that Hanserd Knollys is the father of John Knowles (1632-1705) of Hampton, New Hampshire, and there is good evidence that he was not his father. The following is taken from the autobiography of Hanserd Knollys (available at this link: http://www.vor.org/rbdisk/html/the_life_and_death_of_hanserd_knolly...). His wife dies in 1671. He has this to say about his only surviving son after the time of his wife’s death: "Since the death of my dear Wife, it hath pleased God to stretch forth his Hand upon my only Son then living, and to afflict him with a deep Consumption, occasioned, as I judge,...

The following is taken from the autobiography of Hanserd Knollys (available at this link: http://www.vor.org/rbdisk/html/the_life_and_death_of_hanserd_knolly...). His wife dies in 1671. He has this to say about his only surviving son after the time of his wife’s death: "Since the death of my dear Wife, it hath pleased God to stretch forth his Hand upon my only Son then living, and to afflict him with a deep Consumption, occasioned, as I judge, by Grief for his dearly loving and beloved Mother, for he drooped ever since she first was taken ill of that Distemper of Rhume, which fell from her Head into her Face, of which she dyed: And he hath been worse and worse ever since she dyed. And I having had great Expenses and a great Charge of dear Relations, and owing some considerable debts, I was necessitated to teach School again in my old Age." Elsewhere in the autobiography, Knollys mentions that his sons are teaching with him. As John Knowles (1632-1705) was apparently alive and well and living in Hampton, New Hampshire at that time that Knollys is describing the very ill health of his only living son who was then in England with him, it does not seem that John Knowles of Hampton can be a son of Hanserd Knollys. In addition, John Knowles signed his will by his mark rather than signature which suggests he was not literate – which would be quite unusual for the son of such an educated person as Hanserd Knollys.
