Notes
From Kneisly Genealogy, 1932, Harm Loken Kneisly, Mt. Penn, Heading, PA:
His will filed in Lancaster Book E, Vol. 1, p. 448, Kneisly in index, Nislay in will. (died) May 28, 1787, (probated) Aug- 1787. Executors Jacob Byers and Christian Black, Martick Twp. (wife) Christiana Kneissley. Children as given below.
Orphan's court proceedings: there is a record under "John Nislay" relative to the executors account and later this record under John Knessly, Vol 1796-1801-page 340 dated 7-29-1800. Henry Milter of Franklin Twp. Adams Co,, was appointed guardian of Mary Knessly-David Knessly-Daniel Knessly--Minor children of John Knessly late of Lancaster Co,-deceased.
This record is faulty because as it stands it would signify that these three children were still under 14 years of age in 1800. When orphans are over 14 years they choose their own guardian and the court approves. The guardian was from Adams Co. Possibly they were living over there. Looks like they were born about 1780, 1782 and 1784.
Deed Book AA, page 632 dated 2-15-1779, Daniel Linder, of Little Britain Twp, and Fronica, his wife, sold to John Kneisley, of York Co., for 2,000 pounds, 5 1/2 acres with grist, saw and merchant mills, on north side of Conowingo Creek and 2 acres on south side of creek.
Deed Book AA, page 634, dated 12-5-1783, John Kneisly and wife Christina sold the mills and land to George McCullough.
1782 assessment list. Little Britian, Twp,, Lancaster Co., Penna- Archives 3rd Ser, Vol. XVlI, John Kneissley 2 M.S. and 7 acres, Michael, no land, Christ 96 acres.
Naturally the three youngest boys were also with John Kneisly in Little Britain, as they were minors. It seems that son John stayed in York Co. There were two John Kneisly in 1790 census, Warrington Twp,
It appears as though Michael and Christian went back to York Co. as the 1790 census does not have these names in Lancaster Co. (except John senior's brother Michael),
It looks as if Christina was the second wife of John.
