The leader Knute Knight is buried just across the creek from us >> I read a book a bunch of years ago about Knight and The Sree State of Jones. It was "Echo of the Black Horn" by Ethel Knight. Got it through an inter-library load from university library here. Does anyone know the genealogy of Knute Knight? My 4th greatgrandmother was mary Knight who married Thomas Graves Coffee. Mary's parents were Mary Smith and Charles Knight of Nottoway, VA. Betty.
