He died on 9 May 1874 in Clinton, Dutchess, NY, 1 line death notice in NYC Sun newspaper. At Clinton, NY, Lewis D Knickerbocker, of this city [NYC], age 42Y, 10M, 25D.

Knic Lineage: 1. HJ / 2. Peter / 3. Harmen / 4. Peter / 5. Lewis (this person.)
Knic Generation #: 5.
NY, Rensselaer, Lansingburgh. HOH = Hiram Knickerbocker.
Lewis (Petrus line) Knickerbocker, B1831, lived in Lansingburg, Rensselaer, NY, in 1850. Living with Hiram, and clearly too old to be Hiram's son.¹
He lived in New York, New York, NY, in 1855. Last time that the family is together. Separation / divorce before 1860? Also: in this census, he has a middle initial, which is "D."³
He lived in New York, New York, NY, in 1860. Policeman. Household included Everett Knickerbocker, who was a mason.²
He lived in New York, New York, NY, in 1870. Mason. No wife or kids? (Living in a household headed by a policeman.)⁴
1873: I could never find this person in any census after 1870. There were other men named "Louis" or "Lewis", but I had concluded that this man must have died. Later, I stumbled on a death notice in a NYC paper .... see below.
