General Notes: Husband - Joseph McKnight

---

He was a soldier in the War of 1812, and was at Erie with Commodore Perry, at the time the fleet was building in 1813. He was an active poli-tician of the Whig party, and afterward became a Republican. In religion he was a member and ruling elder of the Seceder Church at Hickory, Washington County. He died on the home farm nearly in his hundredth year; he had lost his sight some years before.

He adhered to the old customs and wore a cue to the end of his days.
