John Franklin Knight- Mary "Polly" Baugh Knight 1

And Jesus was with them on their
Day of Terror September 11, 2001.

Hi,my name is
Connie and this is part of
my Knight/Baugh family
that I am a direct descendant too.
This will continue with the
George W. Knight and Mary Christmas Knight family,
that will be added later on.
I will also be adding pictures
, marriage bonds and other things as well
So , Please check back often
to see what I have added
or taken away.

Interesting bit I ran across on the inter-net,
anyone seen this before.

Knight

The names
Knight and McKnight in Ireland
are derived from the native
Gaelic Sept Mac An Ridire.
The Gaelic word 'ridire'means
'knight'.Ruddery is used
interchangeably with Knight.
The Sept was mainly
located in County Westmeath
and was a branch of the
Fitzsimons Sept.

Update:

From the information below I am going to assume

that this Mary Knight who is married to Willis Johnson

is Radney Knight and Mary"Polly"Simmons Knight's

daughter Mary. We know that there was a Margaret

Johnson in one of the old pictures of the George Knight

family. She was named in it as a niece.
