The Knowlton Family News

A generic type newsletter put out by a company in Denver, CO, Maxwell MacMaster, ed., for the express purpose of making money off poor dupes who subscribed for several years hoping that the articles written en masse for who knows how many newsletters (with our names cleverly inserted at regular intervals) would give way to actual queries and records of our Knowlton relatives.


[See the February Mail List messages for a note from Elizabeth Knowlton on an interesting article by William A. Knowlton disputing Stocking's connection of William Knowlton to Richard Knowlton and Elizabeth Cantize.]
