Martha McBride Knight. Refinement, religious fervor and supreme loyalty characterized the life of Martha McBride Knight, the 9th child of Daniel McBride, a Campbellite minister of New York, and
Abigail Mead. She was born March 17, 1805, at Chester, Washington County, New York. She was married July 26, 1826 to Vinson (Vincent) Knight, who inherited a farm at Perrysburgh, New York, from his father,
Dr. Rodolphus Knight of Norwich, Massachusetts. They acquired considerable wealth from their farm. Joseph Smith and Parley P. Pratt brought the Gospel to them March 21, 1834. The first test of her faith was the
departure of her husband for Zion's Camp, organized by Joseph Smith for the redemption of Zion. Upon Vinson's return the farm was sold at a great sacrifice. The Knights and four little children, accompanied by
Newel Knight, Lydia Goldthwait and Maria Crandall, traveled 135 miles by stage coach and canal boat to Kirtland. They assisted in the building of the City of Kirtland and the Kirtland Temple. Afterward he moved his
family to Adam-ondi-Ahman, where he became the bishop. Later, with the Saints, they lived for a season in Nauvoo. Martha joined the sewing circle and was a charter member of the first Relief Society. A few months later
her husband died, July 31, 1842, and in September 1842 her son Nathaniel passed away. She often told her grandchildren of the cruel martyrdom of the prophet, the sorrowing of the Saints and the solemn services; her
witnessing the form of Brigham Young change to the person of Joseph Smith, and Brigham's voice ringing out in the tone of Joseph's voice, declaring him the leader of the wondering Saints. She remembered the cruel
expulsion of the Saints from Nauvoo, and the crossing of the Mississippi on the ice. She recalled the long winters with crude shelters at Winter Quarters and the tedious journey across the trackless plains. The burial
of her baby grandson in Gilbert Belnap's tool-chest by the wayside was one sorrow she never forgot. They arrived in Salt Lake Valley, September 15, 1850, in Jonathan Foote's Company; and were assigned to go to Ogden
to make their home. She was sustained first counselor to Delilah Pierce Palmer, first president of Ogden City Relief Society, January 6, 1856. Mrs. Knight witnessed the grasshopper plague; she attended the dedicatory
services of the St. George Temple, and worked for her kindred dead in that edifice. After the death of her husband she married Joseph Smith, and later became the plural wife of Heber C. Kimball. Her children were
Almira K. Hancom Stoddard, Rizpah K. Gibbons, Adaline K. Belnap, James Vinson, Martha A., Rodolphus Elderkin, and Nathaniel, who died in infancy, and an infant child born after her marriage to Heber C. Kimball. She was
noted for her expert needlework, Her handmade handkerchief linen temple robe, used in the Nauvoo Temple, and a colorful artistically designed hand-made quilt top are preserved by her grand-children. She died
November 1, 1901 at Hooper, Utah, at the age of 97. In the photo are Adaline Knight with husband Gilbert Belnap, sister wife (and first cousin) Henrietta McBride, Adaline's sister Rizpah Knight Gibbons and mother Martha McBride Knight late 1800s
