I am pretty sure that I am a distant cousin stemming from Sara Elizabeth ( Knox) Wray, However, my grandfather William Monroe Knox (Jan 27, 1881 - April 4, 1940) was removed from her sibling list. Can you tell me why? I noticed that he was then linked to a Robert Jasper Knox as his father, but his son, William F was born in 1884 and died in 1959?. From family records, I am pretty sure that William Monroe Knox was the son of James Monroe Knox and Melissa Morrison. I have created a profile Knox-7083 and listed my sources .
