These brothers were the sons of John Joseph Knight and Frances " Frankie " or " Celie " Land. Brothers John C. and Thomas J. migrated to East Tennessee along with their parents following the war and lived out their days there in Greene, Washington, and Knox Counties. David M. became a baptist minister and was in Greene County, Tennessee in the 1870's and applied for his Confederate pension from there. Is anyone out there that knows that one or ALL of these brothers are among their ancestors ? If so please contact me. I believe their parents were related to my paternal 2 x great-grandparents, David Land and Rebecca Knight of Wilkes County,North Carolina. I'm hoping you can help me answer some genealogy questions.
Thanks, Glenn Land
