Concerning the Lewis Knight that you have as listed for Jesse Knight and Mary Cobb of Edgecombe County. There is a Lewis Knight that married Rebecca Wassum in Rhea County Tennessee in 1819 but this Lewis Knight had died prior to the 1850 census of Independence County Arkansas,but Rebecca and most of her children are listed in that census.
If the Lewis the son of Jesse died in 1850 census then where is he located in the 1850 census. I believe that the Lewis Knight you refer to may be two different Lewis Knights.
There was a John and Nancy Knight that was in Rhea County Tennessee and this John died in 1822 or 1823 and I believe the Lewis that married Rebecca Wassum will probablyend up being the son of this John and Nancy. Lewis and Rebecca had a son named John and a daughter named Nancy. Lewis was also in Meigs County with a Levi H. Knight that we know is the son of this John and Nancy.
I would love to discuss this family in more detail with you.
