Notes
a. Note:   From History of Farmingtion, Maine: After marrying Mary Blunt Oakes, they lived in Walpole, Mass. for a short period of time. In company with other Massachusetts families, he came to Damariscotta about 1781. Here he made no permanent settlement, but pushed on to the Sandy River valley the same year and took up lot No. 17, on the west side of the river. Upon this lot he built a small log-house on the interval, from which his family was driven by the great freshet of Oct 22, 1785. Water covering the house to a depth of five feet, he was compelled to convey his family in a boat across the river to his brother-in-law's, Francis Tufts. Soon after , he built a log-house on the uplands, and this he replaced by a framed building in 1796. Mr. Knowlton with Stephen Titcomb was foremost in erecting the first house for public worship built in the town. He also was one of the principal agents in the purchase of the township of New Vineyard, and for a time was principal owner of the mills and machinery at Farmington Falls.
