Hi, That is what I thought, I have been to Tent Cemetery and that is what confused me. I really couldn't read the date that, that Hannah was born. But it did say wife of John Mcknight and died May 26, 1875. The old LDS records show "George" and I can not find nothing with Hannah and George. My grandmother always told me that her great grandmother's name was Hannah and gr. Grandpa was John. The census 1870 show Hannah, John, Henry J, Rachel, William George B and Margaret. Than who did Hannah born 1801 marry? I have John and Hannah son William Obt died 8/27/1941. Which does not list parents, just a daughter Anna Shiffbauer, Hopwood which he lived with. 2 other daughters Sarah Cain, Hopwood, Jennie Whitstone, Akron, Oh and a son George of Pittsburgh. But also 2 brothers George, and John and 3 half sisters, Mary, Sarah and Nancy. This tells me John remarried and I think it was to a woman named Missouri. It shows it is the Census. But no information on her. Oh I hope I am doing this right.

McKnight and they had a son named William McKnight b.c. 1862. I know that the old LDS records show "George" but I believe that is wrong! Hannah McKnight wife of John M. McKnight was the only Hannah McKnight I could find anywhere. Then I found in "Records From The Past, Volume II: Funeral Home Records, Fairchance, Fayette Co., PA" p. 160 the 1944 funeral home record for John M. McKnight, Jr. listing his parents as John M. McKnight and Hannah HUGHES. Finally, the gravestone for Hannah McKnight is in Tent Church Presby. near that of Catherine Hughs, Issac O. Hughs, Daniel A. Hughes , and Isaac Hughes. d. 1893. Hannah's stone says that she was the wife of John and dau. Maggie H. d. 3/22/1877 is next to her. This child Margaret is in the 1870 Census with the family of John and Hannah.

Hi, Christine, I do not know who submitted those records to the LDS, but I do recall connecting with a Hugh researcher who lived in CA back in 1997 and she told me that she had made a trip home to Fairchance and had interviewed relatives. I got the sense from what she wrote that she was assuming that these respondents were accurate! Since then, I've tried to be cautious and rely on records as much as possible; however, there can be errors in those, too. It is best to find multiple sources, three if possible, is the rule of thumb. >I have John and Hannah son William Obt died 8/27/1941. Which does not >list parents, just a daughter Anna Shiffbauer, Hopwood which he lived >with. 2 other daughters Sarah Cain, Hopwood, Jennie Whitstone, Akron, Oh >and a son George of Pittsburgh.

But no information on her. That's excellent, Christine. I've not tried to follow this branch very far. Wow, I've just found her. I have what I thought might be another John McKnight m. Missouri CONN. From "Vance-Brownfield Funeral Home Records, Main Street, Smithfield, PA, 1892-1981" p. 64, there is a funeral home record for Jennie KREMER widow of Thompson Kremer. She was b. 5-6-1879 d. 4-6-1939 dau. of John McKnight and Missouri Conn; buried in Mt. Moriah Baptist Cem. So, this Jennie would be yet another half sister, one who predeceased William. I had found Jennie in the 1930 Census of Smithfield listed with her husband: Washington Way, #303-251, ED 84, Smithfield, Fayette, PA; 50 b. PA; parents b. PA. Thompson died 1/16/1936; that's on p. 59 of the same Vance book; his parents are listed as Frank Kremer and Anna Wilson. The Fairchance and Smithfield funeral home books are available from Closson Press. You can find those online at: http://www.clossonpress.com/index.jsp The person who transcribed these records is Kathryn Cooley Miller. If you just type her name into the Search box, then this set of books should be found easily. There are also lots of gravestone photos online now for Fayette which are incredibly useful, especially for cemeteries not listed in published books. http://www.usgennet.org/usa/pa/county/fayette/headstones/index.html >Oh I hope I am doing this right. Yes, you are, Christine! Best regards, Cuzin Jane
