BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. 



M. V. KNAPP, 



son of James A. and Margaret Knapp, was born at Penn 

 Yan, Yates Co., N. Y., Nov. 16, 1824. His father was a 

 native of this State, and settled in Yates County at a very 

 early day. He had a family of ten children, viz., George 

 H., James, M. Y., A. P., S. A., Mary L., Chas. F., 0. C, 

 Wm. C, and F. R. All are living except James and 

 Greorge H. James A. Knapp, Sr., was a painter by trade. 

 He died in the seventy-seventh year of his age, at Penn 

 Yan, N. Y. 



Mr. M. y. Knapp was reared a poor boy, but by indus- 

 try and economy, and the aid of his faithful wife, he has 

 acquired a competency, and during his life he has aided 

 his parents and other members of the family to a livelihood. 

 He commenced life by working on a farm by the month ; 

 also for some time was engaged on the Erie Canal. He 

 married Miss Sarah E. Haight, daughter of John and 

 Sarah Haight, of Penn Yan, Dec. 31, 1846. Miss Haight 

 was born July 8, 1826. Of this union two children were 

 born, viz., Marsena A. and Manford H., the latter of whom 

 died at the age of five months. Mrs. M. Y. Knapp's 

 parents were also early settlers of Penn Yan, and members 

 of the Baptist Church. Mr. Knapp has followed farming 

 the most of the time since he was married, and to-day is 

 the owner of one hundred and seventy-six acres of good 

 land, known as the Judge Hall farm, a fine view of which, 

 and portraits of Mr. and Mrs. Knapp, may be seen in this 

 work. In politics Mr. Knapp has always been identified 

 with the Democratic party, and has held some of the po- 

 litical offices of his town. Mr. and Mrs. Knapp are mem- 

 bers of the Baptist Church of Wayne, and contribute liber- 

 ally to its support. Their son is also a member of the 

 same church. 



JOEL WIXSON. 



Mr. Joel Wixson, of Wayne, N. Y., son of Daniel and 

 Deborah C. Wixson, and grandson of Solomon Wixson, who 

 was one of the earliest settlers of Wayne, was born in 

 Wayne, Steuben Co., N. Y., Oct. 16, 1814. His father 

 was a native of New Jersey, and was born Aug. 18, 1786, 

 and married Deborah Conklin, of New Jersey, March 3,
