Sidney Knowlton (1792-1863) was born at Ashford, Connecticut, son of Ephraim and Jemima Farnham Knowlton and the grandson of Lieut. Daniel Knowlton of Revolutionary War fame. He married Harriet Burnham (1797-1881) in 1816. They had ten children, 1817-1841. The family was living at Dunbarton, New Hampshire, in 1817. They were at Susquehanna, Pennsylvania, by 1820; at Covington, Kentucky, by 1822; and at Cumminsville, Ohio, by 1827. The family joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and were living at Bear Creek, Hancock County, Illinois, by 1835. They migrated west with the Mormon pioneers, arriving at Salt Lake City in 1849. Sidney married five plural wives. He had a son by one of the wife, born in 1863, six months after Sidney's death. Descendants lived in Utah, Idaho, and elsewhere.
