Not so peaceful were these shores during the War of 1812, as a British cannon ball now in the possession of Mrs. Charles Lathrop Pack, but long buried not far from Ebenezer Hatch's ferry, give evidence. It is the souvenir of an eventual night when a British war craft sighted, as its crew supposed, through the mists of the night an American boat near the shore, and determined on capture or destruction, sent at intervals throughout the night, their most telling cannon balls, only to find at the dawn that their ammunition had been wasted on a huge bowlder off the coast which still stood sentinel unharmed by the onslaught. (The Cannon ball was found on the farm of Mr. Homer Knight, given by him to Mr. C. L. Parmenter of Montpelier, came to Mrs. Pack from Mr. Parmenter.)

In Reply to: Re: Noel KNIGHT and decendants - RI>NY by J. Wise  of 6671  
 
Hi Cousin!

Although Noel Knight is descended from Jonathan Knight, he is not a child, rather a great grandchild. The line is: Richard Knight>Jonathan Knight>Captain Robert Knight>Captain Edward Knight>Noel Knight. Richard Knight married Sarah Rogers, Jonathan Knight married Rebecca (Hannah) Bennett, Capt. Robert Knight married Mary Potter, Capt. Edward Knight married Patience Gorton, Noel married Martha White, daughter of Adams White and Hannah Capron. According to family Bible information, Noel Knight was born Dec. 2, 1769 and died Feb. 7, 1833. He lived in New Woodstock, Madison County, NY. Just wondering how exactly you are descended from Jonathan Knight. Please let me know!

"Charles  On 1800 Hamilton Census, b. 2 Dec 1769, d 7 Feb 1833" (Same dates as Noel. So, possibly went by name "Charles"). Also, there is a reference to "Noel Knight" on the Cazenovia Census 1800, b. 2 Dec 1769, d 7 Feb 1833 (note from Helen C. Cooper - "Looks like a typo or some kind of error, see Charles"). (Very unlikely to be enumerated twice under different names - cgk).

DEATH: Abstracts From Madison County Newspapers,
""In "Abstracts from Madison Co. Newspapers" I found this Mrs. Night, wife
of Noel Night, d. at Woodstock Settlement, this town (Cazenovia), 6 Mar.
1815.  from the Cazenovia Pilot newspaper of 15 Mar 1815. The actual
newspaper may have a lot more info in her obit.

Adams WHITE was born on 17 Feb 1744/1745 in Mendon, Worcester, Massachusetts. He died on 16 Sep 1832 in Brooklyn, Windham, Connecticut. Adams married (MRIN:2240) Hannah CAPRON on 25 Jan 1767 in Smithfield, Providence, Rhode Island.

Hannah CAPRON [Parents] was born on 27 Oct 1743 in Bellingham, Norfolk, Massachusetts. She died on 8 Mar 1826 in Brooklyn, Windham, Connecticut. Hannah married (MRIN:2240) Adams WHITE on 25 Jan 1767 in Smithfield, Providence, Rhode Island.

Gorton Warwick KNIGHT [Parents]-L4TV-39Y was born on 23 Jul 1793 in Pomfret, Windham, Connecticut. He died on 28 Oct 1873 in Olive, Clinton, Iowa. He was buried in Mowder Cemetery, Calamus, Clinton, Iowa. Gorton married (MRIN:2241) Chloe HATCH-LHZ1-3BK in 1855.

Other marriages:

ALGER, Marcena

BIOGRAPHY: Gorton KNIGHT married Marcena ALGER and lived in Boston, Erie County, NY. Gorton and Marcena had (4) children: Daniel S., Edward G., Oliver R., and Daniel KNIGHT). They moved to Freedom, Cattaraugus County, NY where descendants now live. Other descendants from this branch were/are in Warren County, PA. After Marcena's death, Gorton married Chloe and moved to Clinton County, IA with his son, Edward G. KNIGHT.

The 1850 census for Gorton KNIGHT shows Marcena (name looks like "Miralia") and the census enumerator errored on her gender. There is also a Mary WINSLOW, age 8, living with them, but no Hiram nor Mernerva. In the 1855 NY State census, Mary WINSLOW is now Mary KNIGHT and 13 years old. Relationship listed as "granddaughter". This is a mystery. In 1852 or 53, Gorton's son, Edward G. KNIGHT and family moved back to Cattaraugus County from Clinton County, IA. They are still there in 1860, but in 1865 they are back in Iowa. I found a cemetary record for Gorton. He is buried at Mowder Cemetary near the Wapsipinicon River in Olive Township, Clinton County, Iowa. I do not know much about Gorton. Ralph, Gorton's brother, is my direct line. History books say that Ralph was probably the oldest, white male child born in Madison County, NY. I have all lines of Noel KNIGHT very well documented, except those of his daughter, Phila. Noel KNIGHT is a descendant of Richard KNIGHT and Sarah ROGERS of Rhode Island.

DEATH: Died in Olive Township, Clinton County, Iowa on 28 October 1873 and is buried at Mowder Cemetery which is located in the southern part of Olive Township, Clinton County, Iowa near the Wapsipinicon River. Also buried there is his 2nd wife, Chloe Knight. The source (Mowder Cemetery listings page 2) says: "(the above Knights and St. John enclosed on Fenced Lot)".

DEATH: Gorton has (2) tombstones! One is in Mowder Cemetery, near Calamus, Clinton County, Iowa and the other is in Elton Cemetery, Delevan, New York! The tombstone in Iowa is next to his 2nd wife, Chloe. His tombstone in Elton, NY is next to his first wife, Marcena. The tombstone in Elton mentions that Gorton fought in the War of 1812. There is an Andrew and Sally Knight buried near Gorton's marker in Delevan. Andrew Knight fought also in the War of 1812. Doubt Andrew is related. If so, he would have to have been from Capt. Edward Knight or beyond. He may be the one from Farmerville, NY. enumerated in the 1850 census born in RI.

Ralph KNIGHT [Parents]-KJWZ-5D8 was born on 18 Dec 1796 in New Woodstock, Madison, New York. He died on 29 Dec 1872 in New Woodstock, Madison, New York. Ralph married (MRIN:2242) Olive B. ACKLEY-KL6W-VJK on 24 Sep 1823.

BIOGRAPHY: "New Woodstock and Vicinity Past and Present" by Ellsworth and Richmond, page 14. ""Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Smith in 1803 adopted Ralph Knight, born December 18, 1796, said to be the oldest white male child born in the town. His parents were Noel and Martha Knight. He was the second of seven children. His birthplace was on the Sheds Corners road and he was the only one of the family remaining in New Woodstock until his death in 1872. He married in 1823 Olive Ackley. They had six children. Two died in infancy..."." Book "New Woodstock and Vicinity Past and Present" by Mrs. Anzolette D. Ellsworth and Miss Mary E. Richmond on page 14.
A carpenter by trade (per 1850 NY Census).

The 1850 NY Census has his surname as "Kight" instead of "Knight". This also applies to those living in his household which includes Olive, James, and Ralph Jr. They are on pages 105 or 106 of the 1850 NY Census in Cazenovia Township.

In the 1870 Census right under Ralph and Olive (ACKLEY) KNIGHT, there is a Horatio KNIGHT (born 1841-1842 in NY) with wife, Lavinia (born: 1849-1850 in NY). They have one child, Minnie KNIGHT (born April 1870 in NY). Horatio KNIGHT is a blacksmith and has a shop, perhaps on Ralph KNIGHT's property. There is also a Cornelia KNIGHT, age 54, (born 1815-1816 in NY) living with them. This is a mystery.

From the LDS IGI File: "Horatio KNIGHT Sex:Â  M Event(s): Born:Â  1841 Onondaga', 'New York Parents:
? ,Source Information: Film Number: 1903876".

Ralph Knight was mentioned in a book titled "History of Madison County - State of New York" on page 240. The book mentions that he is still living in 1869 and is the oldest native of New Woodstock alive by that year. It also confirms his birthplace of New Woodstock, Madison County, NY and birth date of Dec. 18, 1796.

New Woodstock is in Southern Cazenovia Township. He is listed in a late 1800's publication on the history of New Woodstock and was said to be eccentric because he often didn't wear a coat to church in the middle of winter. He was a carpenter by trade.

Ralph Knight's middle initial could be "G".

Lola Celia (KNIGHT) GURLEY letter to Harold S. Knight dated Jan. 29, 1944. ""I am not certain, but I think my grandmother (Olive Ackley - cgk) died at our house. I would have only been 2 years old so would not have remembered, but seems as though I had heard that."."

OBITUARY: Syracuse Sunday Times - Sunday, March 16, 1879 - Syracuse, N.Y.

Almond CURTIS [Parents] was born on 14 Feb 1792 in Norwich, Windsor, Vermont. He died on 29 Jan 1861 in Holland, Erie, New York. He was buried in Humphrey Center Cemetery, Holland, Erie, New York. Almond married (MRIN:2243) Phila KNIGHT-LCJ4-MCT on 21 Jan 1835.

BIOGRAPHY: May be referred to as Almond. I'm hoping this is the A. Curtis, president of the Botanical Medical College in 1840, mentioned in Frederick Morgan's obituary.(his son-in-law), but it would have been tricky to be in Ohio at the correct time. Beginning to think it's more likely it was another A. Curtis, but possibly still related. Need to research this yet. Note dates for Almon's children born around 1840 in New York. He had 18 children in all. One source says Almon was born in Piermont, VT.
All family information on Almon was found in a loose paper in the files of the (N.Y.?)Historical Society titled "Curtis family-written March 17,1884 by Lucy Curtis to Newton Curtis of North Collins, NY." This letter also refers to a "Lucy Edith Curtis-died Dec.14,1868, buried in Protection,NY." This is besides Lucy Moulton Curtis who is listed to have died on Jun.15, 1868 in Portection, NY. I can't find a Lucy Edith anywhere else in the letter, so don't know what relationship she is. Or if she is the same person with two different dates. Newton Curtis is also listed as "married a Kirby, died in North Collins, NY, had 2 girls", but I don't know his relationship. Other names mentioned without stating the relationship are...."Bernice Curtis married Harold Ruhling and lived in North Collins" and "Myrtle Curtis married Stanley Conrad and lived in N.Collins. lived to 105 (July 12,1959)". These must have been additional notes, since the original letter was written in 1884.
A copy of this letter was sent to me from Chris Knight, a cousin, descendent of Almon Curtis and his second wife Phila Knight.
Almon is listed in the DAR records of Mrs. Myrtle Morton Bragg Speer DAR records, #102264.

Phila KNIGHT [Parents]-LCJ4-MCT was born on 7 Mar 1801 in New Woodstock, Madison, New York. She died on 16 Dec 1863 in Holland, Erie, New York. She was buried in Humphrey Center Cemetery, Holland, Erie, New York. Phila married (MRIN:2243) Almond CURTIS on 21 Jan 1835.

Married: Phila KNIGHT married Almond CURTIS (from Vermont) and resided in Holland Township, Erie County, NY. Both may have been previously married. Children are Hiram, Charles, Mary, and Phily CURTIS. (2) other children, Nathan and William, could be from Almond's 1st marriage.
