Marriage Notes (Paul Knowles)
"Paul Knowles, of Truro, born at Eastham 8 Aug. 1702, died before 11 Apr. 1775, when administration was granted to his estate. He married first, at truro, 28 Feb. 1722/3, Phebe Paine of Truro, born in 1700, died at truro 23 June 1748; and secondly Mercy (---) Harding, who died 29 Jan. 1761, in her 60th year, widow of Nathaniel Harding. Administration on her estate was granted 17 Mar. 1761 to Ephraim Harding.

Paul Knowles settled at Truro, where he took a position in line with his family standing. While evidently avoiding permanent town offices, except for serving one year as selectman, he repeatedly headed special committees by choice of the parish and the Truro proprietors. On his death his real estate was settled on his sons Paul and Silas, who were to pay their portions to the other heirs, including four living brothers and sisters and the children of three not living." 44
