Hi Janine, all,

Might you check Benjamin Knight's link to father, as he appears now linked to his grandfather.

Believe Benjamin's father should be John Knight (bef.1626-1677) and not John Knight Sr (1595-abt.1670).

Thank you for supporting WikiTree. --Gene

Saved this old Memorial Hall Library, Andover, MA, Knight-Jaques family tree a while back (author?)< http://www.mhl.org/andover/abbott/Jacques&Jaquith%20Family.pdf > while seeking father of Stephen Longfellow Knight b.3 Dec 1762 Falmouth, Maine, m.1&2 sisters Deborah & Charlotte Titcomb? Stephen perhaps a son of Benjamin?
