• Knight DNA Group Project lists lineage of FTDNA Knight Project test kits.

Research Persons

Merchant Peter Knight Branch

Note: It appears Peter Knight, Merchant, died without issue. Therefore, this branch is of much less interest after ensuring his profile is complete, and purported relationships are documented in research notes.

• Peter Knight (1587-bef.1674), Merchant
  • document that while a Burgess, if he died without issue, that means he can't be a Jametown Society QA.
  • prove Genevieve Basse marriage [detached, so lower priority]

• Nathaniel Basse (bef.1589-bef.1654)
  • daughter Genevieve Basse (1624-1681)
  • confirm no records for children; any professional genealogy report to point to?
  • disproved existence for any of them?
