David & Hannah Knickerbocker: a possibility for their son William b 1827-1828
This is a POSSIBILITY for William Knickerbocker b 1827-1828 OH, s/o David & Hannah Knickerbocker
RE:An unknown William Knickerbocker whose birthdate and parents are unknown, but who was probably born in Indiana......He may be the missing William, s/o David & Hannah Knickerbocker, but that is ONLY A GUESS on my part.He might fit elsewhere (EXCEPT HE IS NOT THE S/O ALANSON KNICKERBOCKER & ELIZA HANCOCK - though as recently as December 2008, another tree has popped up placing him there).
Mary Jane Imel Knickerbocker Sharp was born 7 Feb 1847 in Jennings County, Indiana, and died 14 September 1924 in Groveland Township, Tazewell County, Illinois.She is buried in the Peoria Cemetery, Peoria, Peoria County, Illinois.Mary Jane married on 21 January 1866 in Marshall Co IL to a William Knickerbocker, but we have not been able to identify this William Knickerbocker.I am quite sure HE IS NOT THE WILLIAM L KNICKERBOCKER who was the son of Alanson Knickerbocker and Eliza Hancock.William Knickerbocker and Mary Jane had 4 children born between 1866 and 1872/1873 (Lina, Henry, Thomas, and William).Sometime between 1872 and 1877, Mary Jane's husband, William Knickerbocker, died or disappeared, and she married to Joseph Sharp.Mary Jane and Joseph Sharp had several children together between 1877 and 1884, and Joseph Sharp died or disappeared before 1900.
