The Private Journal of a Journey From Boston to New York - In the Year 1704 #220289

Sarah Kemble was married to Richard Knight of Boston, a Captain of a London trader.3 He died abroad, but in what year is not ascertained. Mr. Deane says that his wife supposed him to be living in 1706, when she signed as his attorney; but the notice in the Historical Magazine, just referred to, states that her journey in 1704 was to claim some of his property in New York. The fact that he is not mentioned in the jour nal seems to favor the latter of these views. He had had a former wife, Remember Grafton the daughter of Nathaniel Grafton, of Salem; and he is said by one authority to have been bred a carver.
