Thomas Knower of London, a clothier, appears as an inhabitant of
Charlestown in 1630. He was set in the bilboes of Charlestown, 8 Apr.
1632. Savage supposes that he returned to England and brought his fami ly
in the "Abigail" in July 1635. At least, one Thomas Knower, age 33 and
N oel Knower, age 29, and Sarah Knower, age 17 [although she should have
been a round 13], were among the passengers to be transported to New
England, 17 jul y 1635 in the "Abigail". (Hotten's Original Lists, 92). In
his "Planters of t he Commonwealth",pg. 75, Banks says, he came from
London and settled in Charl estown. Gov. Winthrop in his journal says that
"One Knore of Charlestown, com ing down Mistick in a small boat laden with
wood was found (dead) in it", Nov . 1641. (pg. 52). The inventory, taken
19 Nov. 1641, mentions his two bibles, 20 acres above the ponds, 4 acres
within the neck and 5 acres near Bunker's farm. The inventory calls him
Thomas "Knocker" and names his brother George " Knocker". (Register, 2:80).
