Capt. Jonathan KNIGHT, I

CAUTION: Jonathan KNIGHT is the younger brother of John KNIGHT (LCP5-VSH)---they are two separate individuals.
WARNING: Jonathan KNIGHT is the son of Richard KNIGHT (M9L9-H6N) and Sarah ROGERS (LKJ7-LVH) of Rhode Island, not Richard KNIGHT of Romsey, England and Agnes COFFLEY who emigrated to Massachusetts.

30 Apr 1678: Freeman at Warwick, Kent, Rhode Island.

28 May 1678: Bought land in Warwick.

28 Apr 1679: Deputy from Warwick (Warwick Town Records, book A, pp. 172, 179).

12 May 1679: Find at Newport court for failure to serve on a jury (Newport Court Files, book A, p. 45).

7 Sep 1680: Jonathan was fined again.

30 Jan 1681/2: Sold land on the north side of the Patuxet River (Warwick Deeds, book AA 2, p. 265).

19 Apr 1684: Bought more land in Warwick (ib., vol. 1, p. 39).

7 Nov 1684: Purchased land at Warwick in the Great North Neck, and that same day bought another tract in town (ib., pp. 43-44).

4 Jul 1693: Bought 200 acres of land in the Hall and Knight Purchase (Rhode Island Colony Deeds, printed).

15 Mar 1694/5: Jonathan and Hannah sold their homestead at Warwick, in preparation for moving to Providence, Rhode Island (Warwick Deeds, Book 2 A, p. 255).

19 Mar 1695/6: Purchased 200 acres of land in Mashautatuck to later be divided off (Providence Deeds).

3 Apr 1698: Jonathan, and his son, Jonathan, were both taxed in Providence.

1704: Deputy in Providence and lieutenant of the local company.

19 Aug 1717: Jonathan had died and administration of his estate was granted to his son and heir, Jonathan, Jr. His inventory showed an estate of L198. 7s. 8d.

Our Jonathan KNIGHT LD55-WZV and Hannah BENNETT LDYJ-LGW had at least six children. The six children listed are confirmed in the book, "Representative Men and Old Families of Rhode Island: Genealogical Records.. Volume 1." Those children are:

Hannah (m. Wm Clarke) Knight 1680 – 1743
Jonathan (m. Martha Angell) Knight abt 1677 or 1682 – 1762
Rebecca (m. Tucker & Larkin) Knight 1683 – 1756 ???
Richard (m. Rice) Knight abt 1682 or 1686 – 1754
Robert (Captain) (Sr) (m. Mary or Prudence Potter, daughter of John Potter and Jane Burlingame, about 1685 or 1689 – 1771
Joseph (Colonel) (m. Stone) Knight abt 1687 or 1694 – 1750

All other attached children were not included in the book. In some cases, this may be because they died young. These other children need to be proved!

WARNING: Hannah BENNETT LDYJ-LGW married Jonathan KNIGHT LD55-WZV of Rhode Island whose parents were Richard KNIGHT of Rhode Island and Sarah ROGERS. She did NOT marry the Jonathan KNIGHT of Massachusetts LDR2-S9K who is wrongfully attached on FamilySearch to Hannah LAMB! Hannah LAMB actually married Joseph KNIGHT from Romsey, England. The early Massachusetts KNIGHTs from Romsey, England are not our KNIGHTs.

THE PROBLEM: Two Richard KNIGHTS immigrated from England to America roughly about the same time. The Romsey, England Richard had a brother named Jonathan. This Richard lived out the remainder of his life in Massachusetts. The other Richard (ours) lived out his life in Rhode Island. Both Richards had sons, roughly the same age, who were named Jonathan. The Rhode Island Jonathan married Hannah. To make matters even more confusing, the two families often gave their children the same names. And to make matters worse, the Rhode Island Richard named his oldest son John and another son Jonathan.

Again, our Jonathan married Hannah, and his brother, John, married Anne. Hannah LAMB married into the Massachusetts KNIGHTS. She is attached as the wife of the Massachusetts Jonathan, but she actually married Joseph KNIGHT of Massachusetts.

So, don't get Hannah confused with Hannah LAMB. They are not the same person and they did not marry KNIGHTs from the same family. They do have children with some of the same names who lived about the same time. Part of this is coincidence, and part of this is because researchers keep trying to blend the two separate families into one family. The Massachusetts KNIGHTs are not ours!
