Lomax thru the Rockingham Co., Knights. Deeds and other records show the Lomaxes and Knights must have been friends. Lomaxes also married into Brasher/Brashear family who were also friends of Knights. Sarah Knight b. 1749, married W.P. Lomax ca. 1774. This couple went to Wilson Co., TN ca 1800 along with Thomas and Absolam Knight".^[14]

Her husband William P. Lomax died 1813 in Wilson County, Tennessee. She went with her son Jonathan and his family to Orange County, Indiana before 1823.

She was a robust and strong woman, and descended from the Pennsylvania Knights"^[15]
