Research Notes

John Knight was born about May 1626 (baptized 14 May) in England, and died 27 Feb 1677/8 in Newbury (Essex) Massachusetts. He married Bathsheba Ingersoll, daughter of Richard Ingersoll and Agnes Langley. Bathsheba was born about 1629 in Bedfordshire, England, and died 24 Oct 1705 in Newbury.[1][2][3] He is the child of John Knight and Elizabeth Vincent.

John and Bathsheba had nine children (John, Joseph, Elizabeth, Mary, Sarah, Hannah, Richard, Benjamin, Isaac).

John Jr. was made a constable in 1654, a selectman in 1668 and was a sergeant in the militia in 1666 and ensign in 1669.[4]

In 1663 Bathsheba testified against John’s uncle, Richard Knight and his friend Hugh March who sat down for a game of cards at Uncle Richard’s home. Playing cards was, of course, very much against the Puritan moral code. [5]
