Peter H. Knickerbocker was born in Dutchess County, NY. He arrived in Elba NY before 1830, and never left. He shows up in Elba census records for 1830, 1840, 1850, 1860, and 1870. Unfortunately the old knic.com website confused this man with the Peter Knickerbocker who lived in Potter County, PA. (Go to knic.com, and read the entire Peter Knickerbocker page carefully.)
