Okay! I am the son of Asa and Gertrude Elizabeth Knight. Gertrude was born Gertrude Helen Mills but her parents were killed in an auto accident at an early age and she was adopted by a family named Walsh who changed her middle name to Elizabeth which she was known by all my life. They had another son Charles who lives in Harpers Ferry. VA. Where do you come into the family tree? Has my son Glenn is florida ever contacted you to compare notes?

Thank you for the quick response!  Glenn and I have compiled an extensive Family Tree.

We have traced the line back to the Richard who came to New England from Romsey England but then we hit a brick wall.

        Sincerely Robert E Knight Sr.
