Note: E. I HAVE SIMPLY COPIED FROM BOOK SOURCES WITHOUT GOING TO MANY PRIMARY SOURCES, YET COMPARED AND VERIFIED WITH SOURCES BELOW WHEN SOMETHING LOOKED UNRELIABLE. THERE IS SOME DISCREPANCY ABOUT THE NUMBER OF CHILDREN IN THIS FAMILY GROUP. I HAVE TAKEN THE CONSERVATIVE POSITION AND INCLUDED ONLY CHILDREN UPON WHICH SERIOUS KNECHT RESEARCHERS AGREE.

The source for the marriage of Jonathan and Anna Margretha is <i>SOME OF THE FIRST SETTLERS OF "THE FORKS OF THE DELAWARE" AND THEIR DESCENDANTS, </i>BURIALS OF EASTON, PLAINFIELD, MOUNT BETHEL AND DRYLAND.
Marriage date: 20 Nov 1805
Name: Jonathan Knecht
Spouse: Margretha Hauser
According to Sharon Gothard of the Marx Room of the Easton, Pennsylvania Public Library there is no mention of a will for Jonathan in any of the books checked (Knecht Family books and Northampton County Will abstracts).
CHILDREN:
Sources for the dates and baptisms of the children are from the well sourced "Knecht Family History, 1702-1985" by Linda Klosek, 1417 Mashie Drive, Wescosville, Pa, 18106, and the Registry Report (pdf file) for Johann Gottfried Weissmuller.
For more information see supplementary notes under the individual pages of children Anna Christina, Elizabeth, or Henry.
A verification source for Anna Margretta as daughter of Jonathan is "Pages of Confirmation" from the Plainfield Reformed Church, Plainfield, Northampton, Pennsylvania, 218MM from the Marx Room of the Easton Public Library, which lists her as being sister to Henry Knecht and daughter of Jonathan along with her age.
Sources for the marriage of Christina are the 1850 and 1860 Pennsylvania census which lists Christina as married to Thomas Gold with mother Margrette (of the correct age for Anna Margretha Hauser) living with her, in addition to brother Jonathan. M432-803 page 344, image 139.
