On the web, listed as a place name in Plymouth is :
CROWN HILL -- The area was originally known as Knackers Knowle and is a modern name of circa 1880 to denote land at the crown of a hill. Nackershole 1765; Knackers Hole 1823. Origin uncertain but clearly what "Devon Place-names" describes as a 'term of contempt'. The first part could be connected with the present meaning of that word as a worked-out horse.
Genuki states that Egg Buckland included part of the village of Knackers Knowle - quoting White's Devon Directory 1850

Grace married Richard WILTON, son of Joshua WILTON and Martha GEACH. (Richard WILTON was born in 1813 in Charles, Plymouth, Devon, England.)
