Research Note
10 Dec 2019 I removed this Amos Knight as husband of Elizabeth Kendall. He clearly didn't marry Elizabeth Kendall at age 8. The marriage of Elizabeth Kendall and Amos Knight took place in 1720. C.L.
The idea that Amos Knight married Elizabeth Kendall comes from this source: Wooden, Emily Beaman. The Beaman and Clark genealogy : a history of the descendants of Gamaliel Beaman and Sarah Clark of Dorchester and Lancaster, Mass. 1635-1909 1909 [Rochester] p. 111
