    3. The only Knight I have listed on my family charts is in some notes of my ancestors as follows: 1788:Daniel & Sarah Hicks, 1788, By Virture of a Writ of Summons to you directed and herewith showed unto you, you are personally to be and appear before the Justices of our County Court of Marlborough to be held at Gardners bluff on the first Monday in Sept. next in order to testify according to your knowledge the truth in a certain cause now depending then and these to be tried Between Moses Knight Plaintiff, and Andrew Gibson Defendant on the part and behalf of the said Defendant, herein fail not on pain of the penalties that will fall thereon at will as the forfiture of ten pounds proclamation paid of office this fourteenth day of July in the year of our Lord, One thousand seven hundred and eighty Eight. 1788:To the Sheriff of Chesterfield Co.,SC, August 25, 1788, I do certify that I have summoned the within named Daniel Hicks and Sarah his wife to be and appear at the time and place within mentioned. Signed: Allen Chapman, Sheriff -------------------------------- Have you checked Richmond Co.NC? I have a few books of that county's records, recently published, and those names featured are : ARCHILAUS KNIGHT-1810, ELIZABETH AND AARON KNIGHT, MOSES KNIGHT, -1811, AGNES KNIGHT-1825, DAVID KNIGHT, ADMINISTRATOR OF HER ESTATE. BENJAMIN KNIGHT--1829, SARAH KNIGHT, (SAME YEAR, MAY BE WIFE) both deceased, estate being administered by John Knight, Francis Knight, and John C. Knight. Then James Knight, 1864, mentions inventory of the estate of the late James L. Knight. as returned by John C. Knight, then John C. Knight, 1915 mentions Augustus C. Knight of Greer Co., Oklahoma , heirs of W.R. Knight, deceased. Finally , another meniton of Sarah Knight--1829. Being from so far away, you may not realize that our early families continuuously moved back and forth between Richmond Co.,NC, Chesterfield Co., and Marlboro Co.,SC. I had several relatives who had farm land in at least two counties most of the time. There was very little between the counties to seperate them in those early years, and the map makers were not even sure the surveys had been done accurately. They were forever redoing the state lines.. I hope some of this helps. Sorry it could not be more. Joanne H. NC
