Mari,
Thank you for being thorough.
I did not mention that the Knapp book had Rev. William Knapp was married previous to Harriet and two daughters listed in a census were from that previous marriage.It also listed a possibly first marriage for Rev. William Knapp.
However, the Knapp book did not mention Elizabeth (Knapp) Colwell since she was not in the Rev Knapp's census household.Also Elizabeth's birth year before the possible first marriage year - either year wrong or a previous marriage to the previous marriage.
With the John & Elizabeth (Knapp) Colwell migration following Rev. William Knapp's to the point of only being a couple households away, I would have to make the same conclusions as you seem to have - Elizabeth is a daughter of Rev. William Knapp - from a union pre-Harriet.
Thanks again
Geoffrey
