Now that Tim has mentioned it, I recall an article by Holton from AJP that_____________________________________
makes the same claim. It was collected in the AAPT reader on relativity,
but the original article dates from 1958, I think.

Gerald Holton has a chapter is his book "Thematic Origins of Scientific
Thought" on this issue. He looks at quite a lot of evidence and builds a
convincing, albeit circumstantial, case that Einstein didn't know of
Michelson-Morley. I haven't read the article for several years so I
don't remember many of the fine points. A good read, though.
