Richard B. Knox (abt. 1795)

Husband of Addy Knox — married about 1820 in Oxford County, Maine, United States

Biography

Nothing is known of the ancestry of either the Richard B. Knox of Jay, Maine, or of the Eady or Addy Knox, of Livermore, Maine , who apparently married, either at Livermore or Jay, in 1820 or 1821.

Research Note

Richard may have been a son of the Richard Knox who was living at Jay in 1810, one of the two males aged 10 to 15 in that household.^[1] Or he may be one of the two males aged 16 to 25 living in the household of Stacy D. Knox at Livermore in 1820, or Addy/Eady may be the female aged 16 to 15 living in that household;^[2] the 1928 history of Livermore says that Stacy Knox had a son named Richard.^[3]

The date of the marriage of Richard Knox and Addy or Eady Knox is uncertain. A transcription in the Maine Marriages database says that Richard B. Knox and Addy Knox married at Jay on 8 Apr 1820.^[4] An entry for the marriage intention of Richard B. Knox of Jay and Eady Knox of Livermore in the vital records of Livermore has the date April 8 without a year. It appears between intentions dated 31 Mar 1821 and 10 Apr 1821, but the marriage intentions in this section of the Livermore records were not always entered in order.^[5]

No record has been found of either Richard of Addy/Eady Knox after their marriage.
