The Knight Family of Cabell County, West Virginia Genealogy Page
The Knight Family Tree
What is the purpose of this page? It is to share with you what I have been doing. This page will begin with my genealogy and as time goes by, I will add other interest. For over seven years I have been gathering data on the Knight's of Cabell Co. WV. The results have been very good--from the courthouses, libraries, Internet, interviews(with some very nice elderly people) and other sources. With stories, pictures, facts, and lore, I present unto you my family. I will take you back to the hills and hollows of rural WV, from the old foundations of their homes and lives to the cemeteries where they are now at rest. Come along with me and enjoy our roots.

     In the early 1800s, my ancestors crossed the mountains of western Virginia, to what is now Cabell Co. West Virginia. Here they started the difficult task of starting new lives.

  
We will start with a brief note about each of these families.
Updated Oct. 2008,
new entries and many corrections.
