I believe the Amy Knorr you refer to was the second of three older sisters of my maternal grandfather, Roy William Knorr.Amy was born in 1877 in a sod hut on the prairie west of Harvard, Nebraska (Clay County).Her father was the Jonathan Knorr of my original inquiry.Her mother was (no kidding) America Elizabeth Eller.I have a lot of information about the Ellers, but very little about the Knorrs before Jonathan.His father (Amy's grandfather) was a William Knorr, who is said to have been born in Germany about 1830, emigrated to Pennsylvania and married a Mary Diehl.Jonathan was born in Pennsylvania in 1851.
