Hi cousin,
I would like a whole line back to Richard and Sarah. Thank you. I have been following the wrong Knight. Remember, I am very new at this. Oh boy! I can't find any listing for Shubeal in any of the censuses. Only a Joshua and I bet they were related. Calvin Knight married Lucretia Hamelton Damon on Dec. 25, 1842 in Lebanon, NY.  She was born in Chesterfiield, Ma. on Dec. 12, 1823 and died in Whately Aug. 31, 1898. That was the year that my grandmother was born to Lizzie. Her father was Salma, and her mother's name was Hannah, Torry). She was their 5th daughter.

Calvin's children were,
Infant daughter                  Born/Died Oct. 7, 1843
Hannah Emmaline Knight           Born Dec. 16, 1844
Harriet Sophronia Knight         Born Oct. 12, 1846
Mary Zeruah Knight               Born Nov. 17,1850
Henry Winfield Scott  Knight     Born Sept. 21, 1852
Cynthia Ellen Knight             Born Jan. 20, 1855
                                 Died Oct. 11, 1930 in Springfield, Ma.
Lizzie Rowena Knight             Born, March 20, 1857    
                                 Died May, 17, 1935    Northampton, Ma.
Married
Charles Anson Dickinson in Whately, Ma. Nov, 29 1877
                                He died on Sept. 28, 1881    
Married 2  Charles Lester Clark in Northampton, Ma. on Sept. 1, 1886
Children
Jennie Lucretia    
Ella Harriet
Malintha Ann Knight              Born Nov. 28,1858    
                                 Died July, 28 1888 in Coventry, Ct.
Charles Nelson Knight            Born in Whately, Ma.   Feb. 15, 1861
Edgar Calvin Knight              Born Whately, Ma. Jan. 22, 1867
Imelda, (Mel) Burns Knight       Born Whately, Ma.  Aug. 15, 1869
                                Died Oct. 16, 1936

I think that is the complete list.
Henry Winfield was in the Civil War. My grandmother, Ella Clark, remembers her mother, Lizzie, telling her about the time that her brother, Henry, came home from the war. Lizzie remembered him walking down the dirt road to the house. He had some kind of malady that he contracted during the war and died a few years after that. Mel was my grandmother's favorite aunt. I wish I knew when the sheets that I have were written. They were for my grandmother and she was listed as Ms. Ella Clark so it probably was prior to 1919.
Nice to meet you too.
Anne
