  • Notes: 

  • Elizabeth's maiden name may have been Potter. William Knight called Nicholas Potter “brother” in his will and it was thought that he had married a sister of William Knight's named Emma. However, a marriage record for Nicholas Potter shows his wife was named Eme Carter. So now it is thought the term “brother” might refer to brother-in-law.
