I have been working on the James
Knight family for a while, and was hoping that someone else was working on the same family. I am connected to James
Knight and Elizabeth
Kennedy Knight through their son,
Grant Knight 1809 - 1866. He married to a Nancy
Lowry and later to a Martha
Rowland. He had a son in the first marriage named James
Williams Knight b. 1838 and died in around the year 1874. He married two times, the first marriage was to a Eliza Young, daughter of Walter
Carr Young and Henrietta
Sophia Peck. They had one child, named Thomas
Peck Knight 1860 - 1939. Eliza Young died in 1865 and James
Williams Knight married secondly to a Lydia Worland. In this marriage there was one child, a girl named Jamie or Jane or Jimmie
Williams Knight. The first marriage was in 1859 in
Jessamine County Kentucky and the second marriage was in 1872 in
Fayette County Kentucky. Jimmie
Williams Knight was born in 1873 and was alive as late as 1920 in
Shelby County Indiana. She married to a Thomas
Campbell in around 1901 in
Fayette County Kentucky. Now Back to Thomas
Peck Knight. Thomas P. Knight married to a
Sallie E. Coons 1863 - 1955. They were married around the year 1880 in
Fayette County Kentucky. They had one child, my great grandmother Katherine
Knight, born in 1886 - 1985. Thomas
Peck Knight was a Policeman and for about 30 years a fireman in the Lexington City Departments. Sallie E. Coons was the daughter of James Joshua
Coons 1832 - 1917 and Amanda Catherine
Moore 1832 - 1911.
Katherine
Knight married to Clarence Everett Wood 1885 - 1948 and one child out of possibly three that lived. Her name was Sara Thomas Wood 1921 - 2001. Sara Thomas Wood married to my Grandfather,

Glackin owned and operated a Elevator Company in the Lexington,
Kentucky and surrounding areas for many years. They had one child named Rebecca
Glackin which is my mother. She married my Father, C. W. Jeppson 1935 - 2002, in 1964 and had three children, myself, Jeff, then Greg, and lastly Scott.
