John Knight, of St. Olave's

From https://minerdescent.com/2012/01/23/thomas-stoughton/

According to information in Genealogies and Biographies of Ancient Windsor, his [Rev. Thomas Stoughton's] second wife, Elizabeth who he married after the death of his first wife, Katherine, in 1603, remarried in 1610 to William Knight of Lincoln. If this is correct, [SIC: not correct] Rev. Thomas Stoughton must have died before 1610 [SIC: he died in 1622]. Thomas’ son Israel assumed the place of an elder half brother to his stepmother’s five Knight children, Elizabeth, William, John, Mary , and Ursula. William Knight died in 1630, leaving a will dated 21 Mar 1629/30 in which he appointed as the executor, Israel Stoughton, his son-in-law. By that time, Israel Stoughton had married William Knight’s daughter, Elizabeth.

After William Knight’s death, these members of the family of Elizabeth Knight, wife of Israel, also came to New England, including her mother, the widow Elizabeth Knight, her brother, Rev. William Knight, and two other sisters, Mary, wife of Thomas Clark and Ursula, wife of David Yale, accounting for all of the children mentioned in the will except John.
