McKnight Family Ancestry - Male Line

Cousins and siblings, here’s is the entire male line of descent from Grandfather McKnight all the way back to Leiut. George McKnight. The side stories I’ve learned are far more interesting than this simple list of “begats” but I have to start somewhere.

Leland Rea McKnight (1891-1935) m. Evelyn Ogden Clift (1898-1987)

Leland had two siblings, older sister Elsie Jane and younger sister Helen. Leland’s parents were:
Addison McKnight (1865-1932) m. Ida Margaret Rea (1865-1942)

Addison had one known sibling, a younger brother George. Addison’s parents were:
John A. McKnight (1830-1897) m. Cornelia M. Tiplady (1932-1922)

John had three younger sisters that we know of, Maretta, Margaret and Hannah. John’s parents were:
George McKnight (1799-1879) m. Jane McAuley (1802-1883)

George was the third of eight known siblings - their names are William, Elizabeth, George, James, Margaret, Hannah, David, and John. George’s parents were:
James McKnight (around 1770 – 1849) m. Elizabeth Matthews (1776-1835)

James is known to have had three sisters, Hannah, Helena, and Sarah. James’ parents were:
Leiut George McKnight, Revolutionary War officer (around 1741 – 1808) m. Jane Beattie (birthdate unknown, died later than 1808)
