Research Notes:
There are questions about this person's identity. He is either dead or gone by 1850. And because of the proximity of Christian Knodell to Margaret and her daughter Melissa for several years, it's clear that he would be connected to Christian somehow. Because his age is about the same as Christian's, it's assumed they were brothers.

Margaret living with daughter Melissa & husband Edward V. Heminway 1860 - no indication she is a widow.
