This was a second marriage for William Carter Knight. He first married Elizabeth Guerrant Dickinson. I have an original letter written by Cleverine to her brother, Wray Thomas(b. abt 1820) while he was living in Columbus, Ohio. He was in law practice with another brother, Kendal (b. 31 May 1824-d. 26 Feb 1878). A sister, Delight Thomas (b. 10 Dec 1813-d. 14 May 1892) m. John F. Davis on 7 Oct 1835.

William Carter Knight bought the plantation "Wilton" in 1859 and lived there during the civil war. My great grandfathe! r was named Creed Thomas Knight, obviously after Cleverine's side of the family.
