Hello, list............. Has been awhile since I bothered the KNOX ancestors, out of Chester County, coming from Scotland by way of Ireland. I've had the good fortune to make the acquaintance of a researcher in Germany and he has been able to access the church records for my husband's paternal ancestors, both sides...............I'm back another 5 generations in some lines...................Glory Be. And I'm researching for him, his relatives (Niehaus) that emigrated to the USA close to my husband's people (RAKER/RAEKER and OBERTATE/OBERTOEDTE) KNOX >From James KNOX and Elizabeth Craig > > > to > > > their son Robert, b. 1758 in Balleymoney, Ireland. The family came to South Carolina, in 1767. Robert m. Elizabeth Gill in 1784 James, b. 1785 George Gill b. 1791 Mary John Eliz. Craig Joseph Robert and Elizabeth moved to Kentucky, stayed awhile in Franklin Co. / Frankfort, and then up into Gallatin / Carroll Co. About 1809 / 1810 -- Elizabeth died. In 1817, Robert married Mildred Bohannon, and there were more children. I have an Austin KNOX b. 1810 KY that belongs in this family...............but for the life of me, I have not been able to make James, b. 1785, or Robert b. 1758, the father of Austin. Austin is on the estate settlement of Robert's second wife in 1861 as an 'heir-at-law' as are two other men whose relationship I can not prove. Is anyone researching this line of KNOX people???????? I have just discovered a lady from my church that is descended from JANNET KNOX, dau. of James and Elizabeth Craig KNOX. Jannet married a Gaston. Jannet is a brother to Robert, b. 1758.
