It is unlikely that she was a Knowlton at all. The only source that states she was a Knowlton are DAR records which are notoriously unreliable.

Marriage
She married Lieutenant David Dewey IV in 1774.[1]
Death
Mrs. Seviah Dewey (Sevier, wife of David) died 18 Feb 1831 in Richmond, Massachusetts. [1][2]
