Note on Husband: John + KNIGHT
John Knight, carpenter, came to New England with wife, MARY (PICKERING) KNIGHT (married 1619 in Romsey, Southampton, England) & at least one child - my ancestor, JOSEPH KNIGHT. They settled first in Cambridge in 1635. He was a Watertown proprietor in 1636 and which was the year that he was named a Freeman in Mass. Bay Colony. He sold his land at Watertown on June 5, 1640. In 1640, he bought land in Sudsbury and was a proprietor there. He removed to Charlestown & then Woburn (proprietor in 1650) and back to Charlestown before his death. His will was dated December 14, 1672 & probated June 10, 1674 at which time a gift to his granddaughter ELIZABETH KNIGHT, was confirmed. He bequeathed also to his sister, Abigail and to son-in-law Robert Pierce of Woburn.
