In "Statue of Colonel Thomas Knowlton: Ceremonies at the Unveiling" By Patrick Henry Woodward, Ashbel Woodward  we find:
PATERNAL LINEAGE OF COL. THOMAS KNOWLTON.

The following genealogy of Col. Thomas Knowlton to the seventh generation, inclusive, was prepared by Doctor Ashbel Woodward, and first published in 1861. A few changes have been made 1n the order of the children of William6 to conform more closely to the order of birth.

Were you to make inquiries among the people of New England generally concerning their ancestry, in nine cases out of ten they would tell you that they were descended from one of three brothers who came over from Old England about the year 16— ; and in nine cases out of ten they would be wrong. But it so happens in the Knowlton family that three brothers did actually come to New England and settle in Ipswich ; John,1 William,1 and Deacon Thomas1 ; for both John1 and Thomas 1 call William * their brother ; evidence of the most satisfactory character.

The second brother, William1 Knowlton, was a bricklayer. He married Elizabeth . He died in 1654 or 5. The inventory of his estate taken July 17, 1655, was ^37 2s. 1d. His debts were £27 1^s. id. We have his descendants for several generations, but it is not our present purpose to include his branch of the family in this brief sketch.

The third brother, Deacon Thomas1 Knowlton, was born in 1622. He married, first, Susanna . His second wife was Mary Kimball, to whom he was married May 17, 1682. It does not appear that he had children.

On the 19th of Nov., 1678, Deacon Thomas thus writes : " I gave a coat to brother William, and his two boys I keept to scool from the age of 5 to 8 years, and a girl from the age of one & a half years till she was married." He died April 3, 1692, aged 70 years.

(I) John,1 though the last to be noticed, was the eldest of the three brothers. He took the freeman's oath in 1641, was in Ipswich in 1641, perhaps earlier. He made his will Nov. 29, 1653. He married Margery -, and had John, Abraham, and Elizabeth.

If this is William KNOWLTON, then he would be born about 1619, based on Deacon Thomas being born abt 1621.

Elizabeth 1. Elizabeth married William Knowlton.
