Knapp, the founder of the city of Fort Madison, the history of which will be found elsewhere. Jonas Knapp arrived with the family at the new settlement, previously selected by his father, Oct. 9, 1835, at which time Fort Madison contained but four families. After his father’s death, which occurred Jan. 4, 1837, the family moved on the claim now occupied by him, which had been located by his father. At the age of 23 years, he married Miss Mary, daughter of Col. William Stewart, then residing at West Point; they have five children-Harriet B., Stewart W., Fletcher J., Libbie E., and Carrie A. Mr. Knapp’s farm consists of 240 acres of highly-improved land, with good buildings, houses, barns and everything conveniently arranged; in short, it is a model homestead, with a place for everything, and everything in its place. The first plowing Mr. Knapp ever did was in the little corn-field made by his father, about where Morrison’s Plow Works are now situated in Fort Madison; this was in 1836.
