As it happens I have been posting information to my records regarding Ida Fuller Walker Knight and came across the following that I think should be of great interest to you.

Daughters of the American Revolution Volume 63, page 260 63 Mrs. Melona C. Knight DAR ID Number: 62783 Born in Ilion, N. Y. Wife of Jerome B. Knight Descendant of Lieut. Simeon Hathaway. Daughter of Hiram H. Haynes and Louisa M. Paddock, his wife. Granddaughter of Ira Haynes and Hannah Hathaway, his wife. Gr-granddaughter of Simeon Hathaway and Deborah Austin, his wife Simeon Hathaway in 1776-77 was a member of the conventions of Dorset and Windsor. He was lieutenant under Capt. Samuel Robinson of Bennnington, and with him were six sons. He was born in Suffield, Conn. Also No. 5437

I think this is very exciting, especially if you are interested in the DAR. Melona C. Knight is listed as the mother of Hiram Knight, 1880 Census, Antioch, California - also listd is Hinam D. Knight, brother, are listed as members of Hiram's household. Not until I started the genealogy of my father's family did I know they came from Antioch - my first discovery of this was obituaries for my father's brothers and sister - they were born in Antioch. I never heard my father speak of Antioch. I made a visit to Martinez and one to Antioch to do research. I plan to go to Antioch in the near future. At some date Ida moved to the state of Washington and made her home with her daughter Lily and this where Ida died - Bainbridge Island or Seattle. Am rushed as I must get ready to go to a Lenten Soup Supper at my church. I wanted to clue you in on the DAR material.
