Rod,
In my genealogy records I have a Mary KNOWLTON, born 14 July 1752 in
Holliston,
MA. Exactly one year earlier than the Mary you list. I believe that
this
is the same Mary KNOWLTON, though I did not have her marriage to
Ephraim
Bigelow.
If you are interested I can send you her ancestors.
Thanks,
John Vermeer
