Added this Knight Crest that I came across years ago. The researchers (working for the Church of Latter-day Saints as I recall) thought this one was connected to this Knight line. They noted that the "war dog" in the center has 7 dots that represent 7 major campaigns that this family line fought in. Hopefully some can locate a much better copy. (Don Knights 2021)
