    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/gFC.2ACI/265.387 Message Board Post: I posted a message about Thamer on the Knight Message board, but it didn't get posted to you Carol. 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 obiturary 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 barn 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 time but have never found her grave. Now recently I was looking up things in Ancestry.come 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 for Wayne Township, Monroe County, Ohio. O cjecled tjat 1850 Census and fourn the family of Johyn Farnsworth with Thamer as a child of 13 living just a few families away from lemuel Knight who was living with his mother Francis Knight and his daughter Rebecca. (Her name was Similda Rebecca) and she was 4 years old on the 1850 Census. 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 was a Dennis daughter of Absolum. If you could give me some info on this puzzle please let me know. Thank You.
