General:
There was a short biography published in The Cape Cod Standard Times, Tuesday, 17 May 1966. pages 10-11. Also, 3 sentences in Brewster Ship Masters, 1906.Marriage Notes (Caroline Doane)
Captain Knowles was a very successful ship captain from the 1840s to 1870s. Among the ships he commanded were Coquimbo, Albatross, Western Star, the New Line packet Robert C. Winthrop, The McKay clipper Chariot of Fame, and the bulk carriers Agenor and Conqueror.
His parents moved to Brewster in the 1840s, and Allen apparently lived there until 1864, when he had built a big three-storied house on "Captain's Row," in Yarmouthport.

Notes
General:
Amos Knowles was the Eastham representative to the Massachusetts Congress at the start of the Revolution. Apparently the town voters were split into factions, with Amos part of a more moderate or skeptical group. There were multiple petitions to the Congress to have him expelled on the grounds that he was insufficiently patriotic. The actual depositions by the town men, to support the petitions, claim that Knowles frequently complained about Congress members' motives, and said Congress's actions were as tyrannous as Parliament's, but the depositions lack any detail. Without more specifics, and without a study of the Congress, it is unclear who was in the right.
For example:
early 1775?
THOMAS TWINING TO THE MASSACHUSETTS CONGRESS.
To the Honourable Provincial Congress of the MASSACHUSETTS-BAY:
MAY IT PLEASE YOUR HONOURS: Deeply impressed with a sense of the weighty task you have to perform, in the management of our publick affairs at this difficult and alarming crisis, and how necessary it is that many of your deliberations and resolves should be kept a profound secret from the enemies of our common liberties, whether foreign invaders or our own domestick traitors; and humbly apprehending that one Mr. Amos Knowles, Jun., from the Town of Eastham, hath behaved in such a manner as to give just ground to suspect his fidelity to his Country, and even to suppose him inimical thereto, your petitioner, in behalf of himself and of the Association in Eastham, thinking it a duty incumbent on him so to do, as a member of society, begs leave to represent to your Honours, that the said Knowles, who now hath a seat in said Congress, hath been an opposer of the common cause of this Country, and hath frequently exclaimed against Congresses and the present mode of opposition, as may appear by the papers herewith presented. And your petitioner, apprehending a known enemy to our Country ought not to be allowed a seat in said Congress, lest he might thereby betray its secret plans to our common enemy, humbly prays your Honours to take the matter into consideration, and expel him from said Congress, or otherwise deal with him as you in your wisdom shall judge proper. And your petitioner; as in duty bound, shall ever pray.
Your petitioner begs leave further to represent, that the said Knowles was one whom the Committee of Correspondence of the Town of Eastham, thought it their duty to discriminate and disarm, in consequence of recommendations from the late Congress, but did not think it prudent to attempt it, knowing said Knowles had a considerable party of similar principles and conduct, who had before armed themselves to oppose some publick measures.
THOMAS TWINING.
______________
To the Friends of Liberty, to whom the bearer hereof shall apply himself:
This may certify, that we, the subscribers, do hereby ask your advice and assistance on the important matters that shall be laid before you by our worthy friend, Mr. Thomas Twining, relating to the great and intolerable difficulties between the Whigs and Tories in this Town. Although we are a minority, our number of zealous friends will, we hope, be thought sufficient to gain some notice. Mr. Twining is one whose veracity may be relied on; and if by this messenger we gain no relief, we see nothing but we must submit to the mercy of the Tories in this place.
