Hi Jeanne!
Thanks for the reply.
I just obtained more information from the book "Knight Cousins" by the late Jill Knight Garrett. According to Jill's book, Mary H. Averitt was born 12 Sept. 1853 in Houston Co., TN. She died in 1901, but her tombstone reads "died 1935". So when did she really die? She was the daughter of Richard Averitt and Carolyn Mitchell.
Her husband was Abner Hughel Knight (a.k.a. Jewber or Jube Knight), born 29 Sept. 1857 in Houston Co.. He died in 23 June 1934. He is buried in Knight Cemetery at Cumberland Valley. I assume Mary is also buried there? Abner was the son of Joshua Y. Knight of Humphreys Co. (my 4th gr gf) and his second wife Elizabeth Parrish.
I haven't ordered Mary's death certificate yet, since I'm not sure when she died....
Thanks again, Dave
