Byron doesn't sound familiar, however, my cousin and I will be doing more work in New York and if I come across anything, I'll let you know. We are quite sure the Job in Herkimer County is our Job. -----Original Message----- From: Steven Knight [mailto:sknight3@twcny.rr.com] Sent: Monday, June 24, 2002 12:10 PM To: NYHERKIM-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [NYHERKIM] Re: NYHERKIM-D Digest V02 #64 My Knight family line is a brick wall. The earliest Knight member I can find is Byron Knight (my g-grandfather) married to Emma Viola Powers (1845-1926). This was Emma's 2nd marriage and I don't know the date or place but their only son was William Bernard (1879-1926). William m. Frances L. Mooney of Utica, Oneida Co., NY and they moved to Mohawk, Herkimer Co., NY. Their son John (1912-1981, my dad) m. Lois Anna Nabinger. Emma's 1st marraige was to someone named Curtis but I can't find any data there either. In fact the only references I have to Byron are 1) his name on William's death certificate; 2) Emma claims to be the wife of Byron and the mother of William in court papers filed at the probate of her grandmother's will (William got a beneficence); & 3) the 1896 city directory of the city of Utica, Oneida Co., NY lists Emma as "widow of Byron". Prior to 1896 the city directories listed Emma as head-of-household. Apparently they didn't live together for very long. There was a Job Knight who was a veteran of the War of 1812 and lived in Newport, Herkimer Co., NY which is where Emma Powers' father lived at the 1850 census. It would make sense that Emma may well have married a hometown boy but I can't seem to find a connection. There are also populations of Knight families in southern Herkimer and Oneida counties. Daniel Knight came from New England and was one of the founders of Rome, Oneida Co., NY. If you can loosen even one brick in this wall for me, I'd be grateful.
