Researching Knight family history. I think my gggrandfather William A. who moved to Southeast Arkansas was brother to infamous Newton Knight. Appreciate any information!

According to a list I got from my great Uncle, Thomas Jefferson KNIGHT, the children of Newt KNIGHT were as follows:

Madison "Matt" KNIGHT
Sylvester "Sil" KNIGHT
Mollie KNIGHT
Susan KNIGHT (married a Welborn)
Kezzie KNIGHT (married a Welborn)
Cora KNIGHT
William KNIGHT (Died at the age of 12 years)
Tom KNIGHT ( my Great Uncle)

Becky,
I have a copy of "Knight and Related Families" by Jan Sumrall and Kenneth Welch. I am descended from Newton Knight's brother Albert Knight, Jr. I'll be happy to look info up for you.

Looking for information on Albert Knight

Dont despair, dear. My gg Uncle was Newt Knight and I've
lived very well in spite of it. Newt had a brother William
born 02-02-1869 who married Sophronia C. Smith, daughter of
Malcolm F. Smith and Ann M. McFarland. Does that give you
enough information to make identifications?

If I can help, let me know.

Lonnie Knight, Jr.

Perhaps I can help with your request for information
about Albert Knight. Which Albert Knight?

Rainey?

Albert Knight, Jr. b 05/22/1833 m. Patsy Corley?

and wife #2 unknown to me.

I'll be glad to provide any information I may have which will help you.

I'm looking for information on my great grandmother. Her name was Corina (Corenah) Knight. I think she was born in 1867. She married James Terrell Tisdale. My grandmother was Maybelle Clara Tisdale. I don't know who Corina's parents were or exactly where or when she was born. Can anyone help?

Perhaps this will give you areas to pursue: Corina Knight
was daughter of Daniel Champion Knight and Elizabeth (Lizzie)Coleman. Daniel was son of John "Jackie" Knight.
James Terrell Tisdale b 10/12/1865 married Corine E. Knight.
His parents were John Appleton Tisdale and 2nd wife, Nancy
Caroline Watson b 1837 in BIBB Co. GA. d 1919 in Tisdale Cem., Jones Co. MS.

They had several children, one of which was James Terrell Tisdale b 10/12/1865.

You may check Who Married Whom in Jones County, MS. (
page 148), and, the book John "Jackie" Knight and Keziah
Davis Knight. Also, refer to "Descendnats of William
Pleasant Tisdale, Sr.

I wish you well, cousin. Let me know if I can help.
