Lineage Issues

  • Some researchers believe that Nancy (Knight) Oglesby is the daughter of John Knight and Sarah (Wade) Knight.
  • However, Nancy is not mentioned in the 1922 Sarah Elvira (Knight) Putman (daughter of John Knight and Rachel Hankins) questionnaire information about her family. [4]Sarah was 84 years old at time of the questionnaire, did she simply forget to mention Nancy? or is Nancy not a direct member of the Knight/Wade family?
