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. Best regards, Cuzin Jane
