Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/gFC.2ACI/1286 Message Board Post: I am also a direct descendent of Lemuel Joseph Knight. He was my G-G-Grandfather, through John Wesley and then Jasper Warren Knight, my Grandfather, and then my mother Hazel Irene Knight. We always had the information that Lemuel was married to Thamer Virginia Dennis and that her father was Absolum Dennis and her mother was Mary. I really don't know where that information had come from. I have an obituary that I had gotten in River Falls or Menomonie, Wisconsin. I don't remember where at the moment. In there it says her name was Thamer Virginia Dennis, that she was born in 1830 in Monroe County, Ohio, and that she died in 1904 in Lucas Township, Wisconsin, and that she is buried in the Teagarden Cemetary, between Knapp, Wisconsin and Menomonie. I have been to the cemetary several times but have never found her grave. Now recently I was looking up things in Ancestry.com and put in Lemuel's name and came up with him being married to a Thamer Farnsworth. That her first husband was named Dennis, (I don't know if that is the first or last name according to this) and that her second husband was named Lemuel Joseph Knight. They had also listed the information from the 1850 Census. I checked that 1850 Census and found the family of John Farnsworth with Thamer as a child of 13 living just a few families away from Lemue Knight who was living with his mother Francis Knight and his daughter Rebecca. (Her name was Similda Rebecca) and she was 4 years old at this time. His first wife Rebecca Gray was supposed to have died in about 1849 in Monroe County, Ohio. This is all very new to me, and I can't help wondering where this information came from. I also wonder where your information came from that Thamer's name was Thamer Dennis. If you could give me some info on this puzzle please let me know.
