JEPTHA D. KNIGHT, the fourth of six children of Marcus and Susan
(Anderson) Knight, was born May, 1817, in Lawrence County, Indiana and
received but little education from the old subscription schools.  His
youth was passed without noted event, and he continued to live with his
parents until their respective deaths.  January 18, 1853, he married Sarah
Peniston, who bore him two children, only one being now living - Eliza,
wife of Frank Hitchcock.  March 4, 1881, Mrs. Knight died, and January 16,
1883, Mr. Knight married Juliet Faris.  He has followed the occupation of
farming and stock-raising with success, and now owns 245 acres; all being
well stocked.  He affiliates with the National party, and is one of the
county's most substantial citizens.  His father was a native of Kentucky,
and his mother of Virginia, and they came to Lawrence County at the very
early date of 1815.  Here they became prominent and well-respected and
passed away lamented by all who knew them.
