John KNIGHT [Parents] was born about 1690 in Sussex County, VA. He died 18 Feb 1762 in Sussex County, VA. John married Elizabeth JORDAN.

There appears to be two theories as to who is the wife of John Knight -- Elizabeth Jordon or Elizabeth Eppes.

Elizabeth Jordon theory:

John Knight (b. 1690 – d. 1762) was the son of William Knight and grandson of Peter Knight. He was born in Sussex County. John Knight married Elizabeth Jordan (1693-?), daughter of James Jordan (1665-?) and Elizabeth Ratcliffe (1668-1695). James Jordan’s father and mother were Thomas Jordan and Margrett Brasseur, who were persecuted for their Quaker beliefs.

John Knight and Elizabeth Jordan had the following children: William, John married Elizabeth Woodson, Jordan married Judith Woodson, Joel, Peter, Richard, Edward and Mary.

The earliest original land office record was Patent Bk. 4, James/Surry Co. 1695-1732, "John Knight, 300 acres, James City Co, 15 Jan 1657, pg. 167, on orth side of James River & southeast of Chickhominy River". This is recorded in Cavaliers & Pioneers Vol. III. John gave "to son William & his heirs, one moiety of the tract of land I now live upon laid off adjoining Lees' branch." Gave "to son Jordan & to his heirs the other moiety of my tract of land to be laid off on that part whereon the house now stands & that he pay or cause to be paid, to each of my sons, John, Joel, Edward, Peter, & Richard 50 shillings of VA after my death." The remainder of his estate was divided among all the siblings & one grandson John. William & Jordan apptd extrs.

1740 Census in Virginia Surrey Co., Albermarle dist 107 (Albemarle formed from Goochland in 1744, Goochland from Henrico 1728- Henrico was the original county) – Elizabeth, John, Richard, William and Peter.

Comments by Marion Knight.
It is unclear if John Knight was married to both Elizabeth Jordon and Elizabeth Eppes (at different times) or if there were two John Knights (one married to Elizabeth Jordon - the other married to Elizabeth Eppes). Researchers disagree. There were indeed an Elizabeth Jordon and an Elizabeth Eppes living in early Virginia, and it appears they were both married to a John Knight.  There are many web sites that believe as I do that John Knight was married to Elizabeth Jordan.  The following is one such site:    http://www.bargeron.com/genealogy/gsb/f1112.html

One example of an Eppes web site that has John Knight married to an Elizabeth Eppes appears to have different children than the John Knight and Eliabeth Jordan children.  You can see this by clicking on the following site: http://hometown.aol.com/vafdking/epes.htm

I hope this helps.
