From the History of Williams County by Shinn:

Biography of Peter Knipe of Williams County, Ohio
 
In October 1833 Rev. James B. Austin was invited to preach at Mr. Daniel
Colgan's cabin.  At this meeting a society of five members was formed.  Peter
Knipe and his wife were early members of this Methodist organization.
 
From "Williams County, Ohio - A Collection of Historical Sketches and Family
Histories compiled by Members and Friends of the Williams County Historical
Society," Vol. 2 1978:
 
"It will be remembered that Peter Knipe settled on the southeast corner of
Section 33 in the Spring of 1831, one of the first settlers in Williams County,
on Bean Creek in Springfield Twp.  The first death in the township was that of
Malinda Knipe, daughter of Peter Knipe, which occurred on the first of May,
1834.  The funeral was preached by Reverend Thomas J. Prettyman."
 
From the "Historical Narratives of Williams County," published in 1950: 
 
"Peter Knipe lived at Mile 12 from the point of beginning and three miles north
of Defiance. . . Peter Knipe had moved up the river soon after the survey of the
road. . . "

Frederick Austin Knipe, who was the father of Roxie Elizabeth Knipe, who married
William H. McQueen, who was the father of Austin William McQueen, Who was the
father of Clyde Delbert McQueen, who was the father of James Francis McQueen who
