> Valleri, thank you for your response. Jessie Franklin Catoe was born Jan 6, > 1868, he may be listed in the 1870 or 1880 with his parents. I have nothing > on his family, no siblings nor parents. He married in about 1885, Nancy Lou > Ella Josephine Knight, daughter of the Ervin Knight I am looking for also. > Ervin most likely was born between 1840 and 1845. He married Nora Nancy > Stogner. These families have eluded me for years. I guess I need to go to the > Lancaster Library and spend a few weeks. Thank you for checking your census > records. > Aileen Norris Hiya, Cuz Just throwing in my two cents worth here............I went thru the 1880 Census for Lancaster County, and there is no child there at that time that matches him. The CATOEs were scattered all thruout that area back then, tho, and you might find them in Kershaw, Darlington or Chesterfield County. NOW...........for the good news. I did find Nancy Lou on the 1880 Census. The family is listed in House #93, Family #94, in Buford Township, as follows: KNIGHT, Ervin 62 SC Reuel L. 44 wife Wm. J. 15 son Nancy L. 9 dau Andrew J. 8 son Eli Albert 6 son Martha A. 2 dau there were quite a few other KNIGHT families in that neighborhood at that time. His wife's name, Reuel, has a ? mark beside it in the copy of the census that I have, which would indicate that they had a hard time reading the original. Please let me know if this leads to anything, as I'd also like to add them to my files. Have a great Easter Sunday !! and our best to the rest of the family Cuzzin Bill
