      1. "Nicholas Knapp Genealogy," compiled by Alfred Averill Knapp, M.D. "This Genealogy of the Descendants of Nicholas Knapp, first found mentioned at Watertown, Massachusetts in 1630, is the result of the work and research of many individuals. The four principal collectors of data were Charles Ruggles Knapp, Henry Eno Knapp, Ezra Fred Knapp and the author, Alfred Averill Knapp, but they were assisted through correspondence by a large number of individuals who furnished much valuable family and local information..."

      2. FHL book 929.273 R871rg "Ancestry of Long Island and Greenwich 1667-1992," by Rundall, Austin, Brownhill, Parker (poorly punctuated), pp. 470-471:
      "Jacob Rundle 2, William Rundle 1, resided: Greenwich, Fairfield Co., Connecticut; born: ca 1701 Greenwich, Fairfield Co., CT; died: 1733, Greenwich, Fairfield Co., CT.; buried: probably at Greenwich; no stone found; parents: William Rundle Sr. / Abigail Tyler; married Apr. 01 or 04 or 05, 1729 (various sources) by Rev. Stephen Munson Greenwich to Rebeckah Knap/Knapp, born: 1707 probably Greenwich pg. 10 Knapp; buried: probably an unmarked, Greenwich, parents: Joshua Knapp / Abigail Butler; occupation: farmer; religion: 2nd Congregational Church. Children (Rundle)3:
      1. Rebecca, b. Mar. 28, 1729/30, m. John Reynolds 1759.
      2. Jacob, b. Aug. 02, 1731, m. Rachel Lobdell.
      It is possible Jacob 2 & Rebecca removed to New York (see Knapp). Jacob 3 & Rachel Lobdell were married in Westchester Co. NY. He removed to Cortlandt Manor, NY before their marriage, apparently. It is unknown whether her family had moved to Westchester Co. before their marriage.
