Biography

Ursula Knight, daughter of William Knight, preacher who came to New England in 1637 settling in Ipswich, Massachusetts Bay Colony.

She married David Yale in 1644 in New England. [1][2]

William Knight, son of William of St. Olave's, Southwark, England and his wife Elizabeth, widow of Rev. Thomas Stoughton, had a 1629 will that named his children, including one named "Ursuly". Further weight to her surname being "Knight" is found on page 112, where either Genevieve Tylee Kiepura, author of "Stoughton-Knight Data," or the editor Donald Lines Jacobus makes the case that David Yale married one of the sisters of William Knight.[2]

Hello, we need a source for the maiden name of Ursula Yale; if one cannot be found her LNAB needs to be changed to unknown. Thank you.

Does your ancestry.com marriage record give her LNAB as Knight? I can't access it, no membership.

The profile of the father uses this source for the identification of his children: TAG 33:108. I'll go take a look.

The full citation is Genevieve Tylee Kiepura, "Stoughton-Knight Data" in The American Genealogist, 33 (1957). Page 109 (https://www.americanancestors.org/databases/american-genealogist-the/image/?volumeId=11876&pageName=109&rId=23569945 for subscribers) indicates that William Knight had a 1629 will that named his children, including one "Ursuly". So we know that William Knight had such a daughter. Later (p112), the author (or Jacobus as editor) makes the case that David Yale married one of the sisters of William Knight. As we see, this Ursula does have a brother named William.

So that's where this appears to be from.

Of additional interest, New England Marriages to 1700 is cited for David Yale's marriage to Ursula Knight, but the book actually does not provide a maiden name for Ursula.

thanks for the look-up and other info, Jillaine.

Keeping maiden name, Knight. Will add TAG citation here and also to her husband's profile, David Yale-34.
