There are several generations in New England and eastern NY. But then they were searching for better land and a lot of migration occurred. They moved from over crowded New England as well as the thin top soil in PA with heavy forests to eastern NY, Vermont and to further west to the Niagara area of NY with fewer hills, Eventually they went directly west to MI where the land was very flat and stayed several generations.

Blake Family Tree

Blake Name Meaning: English: variant of Black, meaning ‘swarthy’ or ‘dark-haired’, from a byform of the Old English adjective blæc, blac ‘black’, with change of vowel length. English: nickname from Old English blac ‘wan’, ‘pale’, ‘white’, ‘fair’. In Middle English the two words blac and blac, with opposite meanings, fell together as Middle English blake. In the absence of independent evidence as to whether the person referred to was dark or fair, it is now impossible to tell which sense was originally meant.

Browne Family Tree

Browne Name Meaning: Irish and English variant of Brown which is English, Scottish, and Irish: generally a nickname referring to the color of the hair or complexion, Middle English br(o)un, from Old English brun or Old French brun. This word is occasionally found in Old English and Old Norse as a personal name or byname. Brun- was also a Germanic name-forming element. Some instances of Old English Brun as a personal name May therefore be short forms of compound names such as Brungar, Brunwine, etc. As a Scottish and Irish name, it sometimes represents a translation of Gaelic Donn.

Harper Family Tree

Harper Name Meaning: English, Scottish, and Irish: occupational name for a player on the harp, from an agent derivative of Middle English, Middle Dutch harp ‘harp’. The harper was one of the most important figures of a medieval baronial hall, especially in Scotland and northern England, and the office of harper was sometimes hereditary. The Scottish surname is probably an Anglicized form of Gaelic Mac Chruiteir ‘son of the harper’ (from Gaelic cruit ‘harp’, ‘stringed instrument’). This surname has long been present in Ireland.

Hooker Family Tree

Hooker Name Meaning: English (mainly southeastern): variant of Hook which is from Middle English hoke, Old English hoc ‘hook’, in any of a variety of senses: as a metonymic occupational name for someone who made and sold hooks as agricultural implements or employed them in his work; as a topographic name for someone who lived by a ‘hook’ of land, i.e. the bend of a river or the spur of a hill; or as a nickname (in part a survival of an Old English byname) for someone with a hunched back or a hooked nose. A similar ambiguity of interpretation presents itself in the case of Crook. In some cases the surname May be habitational from any of various places named Hook(e), from this word, as for example in Devon, Dorset, Hampshire, Surrey, Wiltshire, and Worcestershire. Swedish (Hö(ö)k): nickname or a metonymic occupational name from hök ‘hawk’, a soldier’s name. , with the addition of the agent suffix -er.

Gen 9 James McKnight ?Martha
Birth ca 1710      
Death 26 Nov 1779 killed by Indians killed by Indians

Story of the death of James McKnight from the ANNALS OF BUFFALO VALLEY

There are a lot of conflicting stories about which McKnight was killed by Indians. There were multiple occasions during the summer/fall when settlers were killed -hence some times confusing accoost detailed. The following seems the most accurate.

"Aaron K. Gift, Esquire, of Middleburg, furnished me with the following narrative of this occurrence, as related by his grandfather, Jeremiah Gift, who died at an advanced age, in 1843. Michael Lepley and Herrold served in the militia and   were stationed at Fort Freeland, near which lived a family named McKnight, father and son. They secured a guard consisting of fourteen persons, among whom were Jacob Gift, Michael Lepley, and Herrold, to go to milk their cows. The cows were driven into a pen, and while milking, they were surprised by a party of thirty Indians, who fired upon them. They were so completely surprised, they could make very little resistance. Lep- ley, with others, and old Mr. McKnight, were killed. Herrold ran for the fort. As he ran along a field which sloped towards the fort, the soldiers in the fort heard the report of a rifle, and saw him fall, ; and an Indian scalp him. Jacob Gift also tried to make his escape, but was overtaken. When the pursuing soldiers came up, they found evidence of a hard fight; the ground -was bloody, his rifle broken in pieces, and himself tomahawked and scalped. He had sold his life as dear as possible. Young McKnight was the only one who escaped. He jumped Warrior run, and a tomahawk struck the top rail of the fence just after he cleared it. He was the only one left to tell the tale. Upon Jacob Gift's father the stroke fell heavy. "

The "Old Mr. McKnight" is I assume the James McKnight who is probated Nov 1779. Some clain it is William but he is alive and well long after and dies 1800. The memorial erected 1916 at Chillisquague Cemetery Mexico, Montour County has William McKnight who died 1800 and his son James who died 1823 and says its a memorial to William's parents who were killed by Indians but gives no names. None of the accounts actually say the wife was killed.

James McKnight d. by 26 Nov 1779 Estate probated by Martha McKnight and John McKnight. Based on Martha's name first it is likely she is the wife and John the son.

In July 1782 Stephen Foster sued James' estate. I found no other court/land records untilApr 1787.Margaret and John could not pay the expense evidently and James' 300 Acres in Turbot near James Wilson and William Bonham were sold inApr to pay the debt. Where and when James obtained the 300 A is unknown. James, Margaret, and John were identified as having lived in Cumberand county. Cumberland County deeds V1 H pg 431 and also Orphan CourtApr 1787. In 1791 James born 1766 moved to Seneca NY perhaps due to the loss of the land. Many of his family and wife's family followed him.

Torrey Family Tree

Torrey Name Meaning: English: probably a variant of Terry which is from the common Norman personal name, T(h)erry (Old French Thierri), composed of the unattested Germanic element þeudo- ‘people’, ‘race’ + ric ‘power’. Theodoric was the name of the Ostrogothic leader (c. 454–526) who invaded Italy in 488 and established his capital at Ravenna in 493. His name was often taken as a derivative of Greek Theodoros (see Theodore). There was an Anglo-Norman family of this name in County Cork. Irish: Anglicized (‘translated’) form of Gaelic Mac Toirdhealbhaigh (see Turley).

Tucker Family Tree

Tucker Name Meaning: English (chiefly southwestern England and South Wales): occupational name for a fuller, from an agent derivative of Middle English tuck(en) ‘to full cloth’ (Old English tucian ‘to torment’). This was the term used for the process in the Middle Ages in southwestern England, and the surname is more common there than elsewhere. Irish: Anglicized form of Gaelic Ó Tuachair ‘descendant of Tuachar’, a personal name composed of the elements tuath ‘people’ + car ‘dear’, ‘beloved’. Possibly also an Americanized form of German Tucher, from an occupational name for a cloth maker or merchant, from an agent derivative of Middle High German tuoch ‘cloth’.

Wing Family Tree

Wing Name Meaning: English: habitational name from places named Wing in Buckinghamshire and Rutland. The former was probably named in Old English as the settlement of the Wiwingas ‘the family or followers of a man named Wiwa’, or alternatively perhaps ‘the people of the temple’ (from a derivative of Old English wig, weoh ‘(pre-Christian) temple’). The latter is from Old Norse vengi, a derivative of vangr ‘field’. Compare Wang. Dutch (van Wing): variant of Winge.
