Carolyne, I don't know that there is any connection, but I'd be interested in finding out more about your line of Knight's as I am also researching the name. My line goes back to a Robert Knight & his wife Agnes who baptised several children in Wembworthy starting in 1695. I have been unable to find a birth, marriage or burial record for Robert.

I have learned a lot. So, basically I am researching a Knight line back from Hatherleigh, North Devon. They parish-jumped from Black Torrington after the marriage of one Henry of Black Torrington to Grace Westlake in BT in 1777, when their children were born in Hatherleigh. I have sort of felt my way back to another Henry in BT born 1664, and possibly even his father, John, but could not be 100% sure that it is all correct. Perhaps someone else out there is researching the same lot? I should also mention that I found five early family wills on the Devon Wills Project which may help to clarify the early generations and I was thrilled so thanks all round to those who contributed. I am very grateful.
