Biography

- From email from relative:
- "I've been searching some time for information about Sarah Amanda Knight, my great-grandmother, and hadn't found a thing until I came upon your work. I have later information: She married Terry Axley Mercer in Missouri in 1888 (name on marriage record is Amanda Knight), and they had several children including Elmo, Beulah Marie (my grandmother, who marked Asa Everette Sanner), and Naomi. They lived in Colorado, though Naomi inexplicably was born in Oregon (1902). So excited! --Patricia"
