It is very doubtful that any Kniffen was from Scotland. The Kniftons settled in Rye , NY in 1660. Sniffens appeared around 100 years later. Kniveton was the name in England. Kniffin and Sniffen are all American. I have another line from Catskill and Cairo by chance. Luther Whiting was born in Cairo, but family was from Dedham , Mass.
