- KNAP-PRESTON: -- On page 445 of the Reed Genealogy, by John Ludivicus Reed, it is stated that Dolly (Dorothy) Knap married first Otis Preston, secondly, Esqr. Whitney and removed to Uxbridge. This is incorrect as to the second marriage. She was married but once, and then to Otis Preston.
- Dolly Knap (dau. of Job and wife Ruth Reed) was born Sept. 2, 1776, at Douglas, Mass., and married July 23, 1797, Otis Preston (son of Amariah and wife Susannah Wood) at Douglas, Mass. They settled at Roxbury, Delaware County, N.Y., and left a great many descendants. Dolly died January 24, 1828, at Roxbury, N.Y., and her husband died April 17, 1838, at the same place. He was a major-general in the New York state militia.
