Knowlton, was born March 3, 1812, in Herkimer county, New York, and the following year accompanied his parents on their removal to Chautauqua county, where he resided until 1839. He then went to Freeport, Illinois, where he embarked in business as a general merchant. He was one of the principal promoters and builders of the first railroad out of Chicago, the old Galena & Chicago Union Railroad, now owned and operated as a part of the Chicago & Northwestern Railway system. Of this line he was one of the directors. In 1855 he returned to VVestfield, Chautauqua county, New York, and after a residence of six years there he went to Saratoga, New York, where he purchased the Empire Spring and organized the Congress and Empire Spring Company. While in Freeport in 1869 he established the bank of D. A. Knowlton & Sons and continued in the banking business up to the time of his death. In religious faith he was a Presbyterian and in politics he was one of the early advocates of the abolition party, becoming the first candidate of that party in this state for governor. He was married in early manhood to Miss Eveline Arnold, who was born in Herkimer county, New York, and when about seventeen or eighteen years of age went with her parents to Chautauqua county, the marriage being celebrated there at what was called the Town Line, between Jamestown and Fredonia, New York.   Martin2001 Satisfaction Guaranteed Policy!
