Did you ever find out any more information on your ancestors?
I have a Nicey Caroline Ada KnightB. 10/07/1857 in Perry County, TN.D. 04/01/1928 in Gamaliel, Baxter County, AR.Md Granville Reed 1887 in MO.Her Father was Jordan Knight B 1829 in TN. D. Aft 1880 in AR.MDSarah A. Anderson B. 1830 TN,.In 1850 census of Perry County, TNa Jordan "Night" B 1829, Sarah Knight B 1830 and son James I Night were farming near Linden, Perry, TN.Their next door neighbors were my GGG Grandfather James "Night" B 1826 TN and Martha A NightB 1826 TN.I believe that they might have been brothers.In 1860 Perry Co, TN, census; Jordan, Sarah and son James I "Night", were gone and a Jordan, Sarah and James I Knight popped up in Marian, Lawrence County, AR.My GGG Grandparents with their 7 children (including my GG Grandfather William James Night), were still in Perry County, TN.In 1870 a Widowed Martha "Knight" and most of her kids were in Decatur County, TN.Across the Tennessee River from Perry County. I have not been able to find a thing about James and Jordan Night's father. I was wondering if you had ever confirmed the Cherokee connection.I have seen hints of this on line, but my late Grandmother never mentioned it
and neither did my late father.It is possible that they didn't even know about this.Good luck hunting and awaiting your reply.
