Looking for info on Thomas A. Knight. He was from Virginia. Would like to know where in Virginia and also his parents and any other information. He died in Roane County Tn around 1938 or 1939 in the town of Kingston. He married Laura Lavina or Levina Center or Senter. They had one son Lewis C. Knight in 1838. Any help would be wonderful. Thanks Ellen Knight

Seeking to exchange information on the Knight family of Amherst Co., VA. Specifically, I am looking for the parents of Elizabeth ("Betsy") Knight who married Jared Hotchkiss in Amherst Co. in 1791. Jared was a Revoltionary War soldier from Connecticut. Jared and Betsy migrated from Amherst Co. to East Tennessee, specifically Washington County and then Roane County. They lived in the area of Roane County which later became Loudon County and are buried in New Providence Cemetery there.
