"William Albert Knight, had a sister named Laura Knight.
Laura married Albert Abner Worsham. ... grandmother's Aunt Laura married into that (Worsham) family, and according
to my grandmother, William A. Knight (her father) and his sister Laura's husband
Albert Abner
Worsham were good friends, and the two families were generally close. I am
comfortable that this is true, as one of W. A. Knight's sons (my grandmother's
brother) was named Abner......... and according to my grandmother (Mary M.
Knight), was named specifically after Albert A. Worsham. Further, I
enclose a photo taken of the Wm. A. Knight family ca. 1897, just a little prior
to the birth of my grandmother. It may be of interest to you to note that the
young lady standing in the back was identified specifically by my grandmother to
be Ann Worsham."
Identified in the photo are
