I signed up Feb. 23, '04 and haven't received anything yet from this list even though my confirmation said I was subscribed in "digest mode." Am looking for information on Christopher Knight, b.abt. 1740 in Cranston, R.I., m. Waite Potter 8/21/1774 in Cranston. Think their children were Job, William and Christopher. Christopher was evidently often at sea for long periods of time. This seems to be a difficult family to trace because they had large families and kept repeating the same names over and over for generations. DeEtte Huffman
