Biography

Idora was born in 1858. She was the daughter of William James Eaves (abt.1818-1883) and Elizabeth (Hyde) Eaves (1831-1880).

Dora married James William Knight (1851-1924) in 1874. Dora and J.W. had eleven children and raised them in Noxubee County, Mississippi.

Dora died in 1921. She is buried in Eaves Cemetery, Noxubee, Mississippi.

Research Notes

  • Find A Grave shows birth and death dates on headstone.
  • The 1870 U.S. Census record for this family has a lot of errors. This researcher believes that the child named "Zora" with an 1858 birth year was probably meant to be Izora Evaline (Eaves) Thornell (1854-1937) and the child name "Adora" with the birth year of 1861 was meant to be Idora Fredonia (Eaves) Knight (1858-1921).[1] "Adora" never appears again and the family is short a child in 1870 if she was another offspring.
