• Note*: 1782; Vermont, USA; KNOWLTON, Luke, (or Knoulton, as
  he wrote the name), count ilor, judge, early
  settler and most influential citizen of New-
  fane, and holding some anomalous positions
  in the early controversies, was born at
  Shrewsbury, Mass., November, 1738. He
  was a soldier in the French and Indian war,
  was stationed at Crown Point for a while,
  and came close to starvation in the march
  from that point to Charleston, No. 4, where
  his company was obliged to kill its last pack
  horse for food. He rame to Newfane in
  177;?. the fifteenth family to settle in town,
  ani'. < a I lie under a New York title which he
  and another man had pur* hased from a lot
  of speculators in New York City. Naturally,
  therefore, he took the New York side in the
  controversy with the Green Mountain boys,
  and adhered to it until i ;8o, when he and
  Ira Allen came to terms while they were at
  Philadelphia as agents for the two sides
  
  
  
  before Congress. But it is certain, in spite
  of the accusations of later years, that he was
  
  on the patriot side at the opening of the
  Revolution, and there is no sufficient reason
  for im])UL;ning his patriotism afterwards, for
  at the time it was done he was acting
  in concert with the erinont leaders when
  his social and personal connections were
  such as to make hi in a convenient medium
  of communication with the Hritish. From
  June, 1 776, to June, 1777, he was a member
  of the Cumberland county committee of
  Safety.
  
  
  
  I
  
  
  
  
  May 17, 1774, on the organization of the
  town of Newfane, he was elected town clerk
  and held that position si.tecu years. In
  1772 he had been appointed by New York
  one of the justices of peace for the county.
  In September, 1780, the Yorkers of Cum-
  berland county sent him to Congress as their
  agent to oppose the pretensions of the new-
  state, and for this service he had a letter of
  recommendation from Governor Clinton, of
  New York. It was while on this mission
  that the arrangement was made with Ira
  Allen, on a basis, as the latter wrote, that
  should " be honorable to those who had
  been in &vor of New York." The arrange-
  ment was to call a convention of delegates
  of all parties interested, including the New
  Hampshire towns that wanted to unite with
  Vermont.
  
  The next month we find Knowlion active
  as chairman of a Cumberland county com-
  mittee of thirteen to bring about this con-

  vention, which firstmet at Walpole, and then
  
  Jan. 10, 17.S1. He va:> prcsciu at the latter
  convention, acting in concert with Allen, who
  was manipubtirm it from the outside. The
  result was tiiL 'Last union" of thirty-five
  New Hampshire towns with 'ermont, and
  following that the "\ st uninn" nf tliat part
  01 New York to the hanks ut IlmiMin river,
  imrth of Massachusetts line to latitude 45**.
  K)ii>wlton wa'< c-i(U'ntn satisfied \{h this,
  as were most ot the .New Vork adherents in
  Windham county, for he soon appeared
  amoni,' tlu it arlers in Vermont j)olitics.
  
  He was town reprcisentulive in the (ieneraJ
  Assembly of the state of Vermont during the
  years 17S4. 1788, 17.S9, 1792, iS'o-;, and
  1 806, and a member of the old council from
  179010 1800 ; judge of the Supreme Court
  in 1 7X6. and judf^e of the Windham coimty
  court from 1787 to 1793.
  
  In 1782 while the Haldimand intrigue was
  nt its iirt^^ht nnfl emi'-sarit"- were passing
  thick back and forth through Vermont, a dis-
  patch was intercepted which showed that the
  British coiniu.itulcr in Canada was innimuni-
  cating with British agents in New Vork City
  by means of letters, exchanged through Mr.
  Knmvltiin mil ( ol. Samuel Wells, of Hrattle-
  buro. 1 he thing was ot course suspicious,
  and there is no doubt that Wells was thor-
  oughly Tory in sympathy ; but it was neces-
  sary for the Vermont policy at this time tliat
  Haldimand should frequently consult the
  r.ritish commander in New Vork about it,
  and it had to be done through men in whom
  both parties had confidence. The discovery
  was laid before Congress by W ashington anil
  the result was an order for the arrest of
  Wells and Knowlton. Their escape to
  Canada was aided by the Aliens. Knowlton,
  however, returned within a year, and was at
  his house in Newfane, November 16, 1783,
  when a lot of ^¦orkers but American symi)a-
  thizers broke in and arrested him, and forcibly
  deported him to Massachusetts. (leneral
  Fletcher and Colonel Bradley organized a
  rescuing party, but Mr. Kncwlton returned
  before it became necessarv ior them to act.
  It was this case of abduction for which the
  leader of the rioters. IVam i-> IVnstv. wns in-
  dicted for burglary al Westminister, and
  which resulted in this curious verdic t : " I he
  inry find in this case that the prisoner did
  break and enter the house of Luke Knowlton,
  Esq., in the night season, and did take and
  carry aw.n tlie said I.iike Knnwlton, and if
  that breaking a house and taking and carry-
  ing away a person as aforesaid amounts to
  burglary, wc =;ay he is guiltv : if not. wr snv
  he is not guilty." The judgment of the
  court on the veirdict was not guilty.
  
  John A. Ciraliam, in a series of rambling let-
  ters descriptive of Vermont scenery, written
  
  
  
  and published at the close of the last century,
  thus speaks of Judge KnowUtm : "Newfane
  owes its consequence in a great measure to
  Mr. Luke Knowlton, a leading character and
  a man of great amliiti<»n and enterprise, of
  few %vords, but possessed of great ipiit kness
  and perception and an aininst iimmr e
  knowledge of human nature, of vhi< h he- a
  perfect judge." "Saint Luke" was the ap-
  pelation given Mr. Knowlton by his contem-
  |)oraries beransc of jrnvr and suave man-
  ners and his decorous deportment even to
  the point of humility. He was liberal and
  generous to the i»oor, entered heartily and
  zealously into all the public enterprises of
  the day, gave to the county of Windham the
  land for a common on Newfane hill at the
  time of the removal of the shire from V'est-
  minster to Newfane, and contributed laiigety
  towards the erection of the first rourt liouse
  and jail in Newfane. Judge Knowlton died at
  Newfane Nov. i», 1810, aged seventy-three.

  and four daughters were' the fruit of the
  union, nearly all of whom had distinguished
  careers or connections. Calvin, the eldest,
  graduated at Dartmouth and was a promis-
  ing lawyer at .Newfane at the time of his
  death at the age of thirty-nine. Patty, bora

  "William Wells of Southold and his Descendants", 1878, by Charles Wells Hayes, lists on 7 children of William Wells on page 33, and perhaps an eighth child, named Anne, wife of John Goldsmith. None of the eight are named Deborah.
  
  A real estate deed is later found that states Mary Mapes, the widow of William Wells, was transferring some land to her daughter Anne Goldsmyth, wife of John Goldsmythe, confirming that relationship - giving eight known children.
  
  "New England Marriages Prior to 1700" by Clarence Almon Torrey, shows the wife of Gershom Terry to be Deborah Wells, 1662-1729. The age indicates this Deborah is of the second generation and a daughter of William Wells of Southold (unless she perhaps comes from a different part of New England than Suffolk County, NY)
  
  In recent years, the sources of Torrey have been published, as well as Wells DNA procedures, but this researcher has not had privy to them to support whether the wife of Gershom Terry was a daughter of William Wells.
