John Knight

Origins

Peter Knight and his wife had the following children: Leonard, Joseph, Edward, John, William, Guy and Peter.. By the time he made his will in 1702, Capt. Peter Knight listed only four children: James, Elizabeth, Leonard and Mary. He does not mention his wife, so she must have been deceased at that point. Her last appearance in the records is in 1676 when she would have been over 40 years of age so she was surely mother of all these four children.
