If you read the ernlun post of 7th June you will see that he has James Knipe born in 1828 whilst your date is 1845. (All his other dates seem to fit with yours) Can you please confirm that yours is correct.
I also have James marrying Mary McKeown (I will need to check my source which may have been dathai) ... my James had at least 9 children

Hi. Yes, there were many Knipes by those names!
I am positive on the info for my Knipes, and know they must have had cousins etc. with same names in the general area, so we may still have some overlap. In general, I enjoy learning about others with this name in this area, so would be happy to look at your trees on ancestry.com if you have them?  We may have some Knipes in common.  THank you, peggy

Hi Wesley
My great grand mother Mary Brown married a Robert Bell they both came from Cookstown area they moved to Whitehouse  Newtownabbey around 1906. The only trace I could find of Matilda Brown in the 1911 census was in the Carmoney area. I remember my father once saying the photo was taken in the Whitewell area but can not be sure of this during the war he was evacuated to Cookstown and in the Carmoney area

hi
   i am trying to find the connection in my family tree of the knipes from county tyrone and the brown(e)s
my grandad henry browns nan was a knipe from county tyrone
i am quite sure my great great grandad william brown married matilda knipe, but found 2 records of a matilda knipe born in 1859 and 1868 only to discover that a matilda knipe died at a young age and her sister mary knipe changed her name to matilda knipe
any help would be very very helpful
my family tree is proving very hard to discover

Hi,
    15 May 1882 William James Brown married Matilda Knipe in Magherafelt Church of Ireland. A Matilda Knipe was born on 6 Nov 1868 to William Knipe and Margaret Reid.  The birth was registered in Cookstown.  The familysearch site shows several other children for this couple.
