Hi Tammie and all! I received a request for assistance in finding a descendant for Herman Knight. I've come up with the following information and need further help, hopefully from someone on this mailing list. If anyone knows a relative, or other information, I'd really appreciate your help. Thanks! Karen Sanchez Robert Due Knight b:3/25/1846 married Martha Louisa West Son: Herman Knight b:c1878 Residence 1896 Vinita, OK "The last records I have for them are their Dawes applications from 1902 and at this time Herman and his father, Robert Due Knight, were both living. This actually supports the possability of this Herman being the owner of the deed from 1913 because Herman was the oldest boy and if his father died in 1913 then Herman would logically become heir to Robert's property. Robert's Dawes roll number was 8519 and this number would have been on his original deed to the property as allocated by the Dawes commission. I don't know if this "certificate number" would have been transferred to the new deed. Herman was old enough in 1902 to receive his own Dawes allocation and Herman's roll# was 16760 which would have been used as a "certificate number" on his land allocation. " (NOTE - Per Keith, this certificate number is correct and on the deed. So we've found the right Herman Knight, just need to know of any descendants). ------------------- >Karen Sanchez: I have been trying to find a descendant of Herman Knight. > He >homesteaded in the Cherokee Nation, Ok. in 1913.
