Text: Name: John McKnight Note: The Washington D.C. Register of Deaths which gives John's death as November 1879 gives John's age at his death as 86. Thus he would have been born in 1793, in Ireland.
Note: The registration with the British regiment shows John with a John Henderson. Perhaps related to future wife, Rebecca Henderson. Registration is in 1815. |
