Notes
Marriage Notes (Captain Josiah Nickerson Knowles)
"On January 28, 1864, Captain Knowles sailed from Boston for another run around the Horn [in Charger], this time with a very fast voyage of 108 days and returned to Boston with a 99-day run on November 8, 1864.
Captain Knowles then wed his first-cousin, Mary Eaton [Knowles], a young woman from a seafaring family from New Bedford, Massachusetts, after an extensive courtship. She accompanied her husband over the next several California voyages before going ashore at New Bedford for a time.
Captain Knowles went on to command the full-rigged ship Kentuckian which he sailed to Italy. Mary Knowles gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, Harry and Mattie, and another daughter was born two years later and named after Mary, and she and the children remained with family in New Bedford while Captain Knowles was at sea." -eraoftheclipperships.com
