About the Knight surname

One group of Knights came from England to Pennsylvania and before or during the Revolutionary War, they left and went to Canada. At least 2 families returned to the states in the 40's- 50's. One to New York State and one to California. Quite a few remain in Canada. Another group came from England and went to South Carolina I was told.

My Knight ancestors migrated from Surrey England to Virginia in the 1650’s. From there, they moved to North Carolina before eventually settling in middle Tennessee in the 1830’s.
