Daniel Knowlton and Zerviah Watkins had many children: Stephen, b. 1746; Robert,b.1748 [both from the Ashford CT vital records]; Miriam,b.ca1750; Eleanor,b.1752;Esther, Daniel and Mehitable [I have no dates for them.But, the younger children may have been born in Nova Scotia as Daniel went there after the Louisburg campaign [ca 1750] with his friend Richard Upham.Both lived for a time in Halifax, then took up properties in Colchester Co., N.S. where Eleanor Knowlton [Upham] is buried. No mention is made in the Nova Scotia records of a Robert Knowlton. That branch of the family had assumed that the Robert had died young.
