Sue, Thanks for your info. You have just answered many questions for me. I'm hoping to get to Auburn to research, but don't know just how soon. The Knight's I've only just learned are part of the family. David B. Knight m Mary Boyle and according to the 1850 census they had 8 eight children. I know nothing about your Michael Knight and family. I am thrilled to hear about the Eckhart Library and what sounds like a wonderful collection.
