"Jonathan KNIGHT settled in Byberry Twp. on a property later owned by Ebenezer KNIGHT. He was a man of very pleasant and agreeable manners, graceful in his movements, and nice in his personal appearance. His fine sense of the proprieties of life, combined with his polished manners and a social liberality, made him generally esteemed, respected and beloved. He was often called "Gentleman Jonathan" to distinguish him from another of the same name. He took a lively interest in the support of schools and in other matters of benefit to the meeting or the township." ^[5]
