Memory of
SHUBIL KNIFFIN,
who died
July
18th
1823
in the 85 year
of his age.
The name does not occur in the census
or N. Y. rolls, but that of Shubil Sniffen does in both. He was enrolled in the 6th regiment of Dutchess Co., under Col. Morris Graham. As both surnames were frequent there, it is probable there was an error in recording the name, or it may have been changed, as sometimes happened. Local histories make the forms synonymous, a father and son differing in the form.
