James Knox, a farmer of Lindle Precinct, married Martha Ann Hughes, and has one child; William LaFayette, a common school teacher, but for the past four years a music teacher, married Marie Weldon Quirey, the daughter of Daniel and Ira Ann Quirey. The children at home are Nancy Mary, Harriet Elizabeth, Catherine Ray, John Jewett, Newton Campbell and Franklin Hedden. They are all teachers, some in common schools and some in music.
