WILLIAM McKNIGHT, an enterprising farmer owning 137 acres of land upon
which he resides in Pleasant Run Township, was born in Lawrence County,
Ind., March 2, 1821.  January 13, 1845, he wedded Miss Frances Owens, who
died January 8, 1845 [sic, is thought to be 1854], and April 8, 1856, he
married Miss Mary M. Ikerd, his present wife.  Mr. McKnight is a son of
George and Mary (McGee) McKnight, who were natives of North Carolina and
Kentucky, the former immigrating with his parents to Indiana Territory in
1811, and is one of the following children:  Elijah, William, Washington

children have been born to her union with Mr. McKnight they have one
adopted son, whose name was Henry A. Gleason, but is now Henry A.
