Details and a registration packet can be found on our FB page which is “Knight Family Reunion 2013 Cincinnati, Ohio.” There are a lot of pictures and presently close to 600 family members on our Knight Family Reunion FB page.

I am a descendant of Harriett through two of her children, her first born child Andy and her daughter Joann. My Knight connection is through my mother Adell (Knight) Nolcox who is the youngest child of John (mother Joann) and Elyan (father Andy) Knight of So So,

I have attended Knight Family Reunions since they began in 1977 in Erie, PA founded by our dearly departed Ida Knight Hicks. The first two reunions were in 1977 and 1978 then they went to bi-annual. They have been hosted by different family members in various cities and states to include: So So, MS, Detroit, MI, Erie, PA, Tacoma/Seattle, WA, Cleveland, OH, Atlanta, GA, and Cincinnati, Ohio.

Our reunions are always held the week following the 4th of July. The dates for 2013 is July 12-14. The festivities for this reunion include a family picnic, a visit and tour of the National Underground Rail Road Freedom Center and a dinner buffet river boat cruise on the Ohio River.

We are expecting a large turn out and a “FANTABULOUS” time, We hope to see you there.

I am the great great great grandson of Andy Knight which is Harriet Carter Ward first child. I was interested of how I was related to the famous Newt Knight that I had studied about in grade an high school, cause I knew my late great grandmother (Anne Mae Moffett) mother was a Knight an her name was Julieann Knight an I didnt to think to ask my great grandmother who her grandfather was while she was living, so I started doing connections of my own an google up Newt Knights black wife which is (Rachel Knight) cause I thought that how the Blacks side of the Knights started and came up with nothing…. So I called my grandmother (Eunice Payton) an ask her did she know Grandma Anne Mae grandfather name an at first she said no she didnt know, but she started to think an this is what she said ” yea I think mama said his name was Papa Andy” keep in mind my grandma Eunice never knew an saw her Great granddad an she was 14 years old when he died, not only that she lived no more than 10 to 15 miles away from him (Bay Springs to Soso) So I looked up all Rachels decendents an discover that one of her daughters which is (Martha Ann Knight) had a daughter name (Viola Ode Knight) who married (Luther Knight) son of (Andy and Rose ann Knight) so I immediatly call her an ask did she know Luther Knight an she said she know him well, Cause Grandma Anne Mae always talked about Uncle Luther which is her mother’s brother, but I was still confused of who Andy Mama an Daddy was…. so I kept seeing da name Harriet Carter Ward an slave owner John “Jackie Knight” the same slave owner of Rachel and this is where I put all the pieces to puzzled and for me to find out who my people are and for my grandmother makes me feel so great inside…. an she not only found out who her great grandfather was she got to see a picture of him for the very first time all because of my curosity of wanted to know if I was related to Newt Knight which I am, but it was his First Cousin Dan Knight that made possilble. I will love to come to da next reunion to see all my people!!!!

It is always good to hear from my relatives. As far as I know, there is not a reunion of just Wards and Knights. However, there is a Biennial Knight Reunion where everybody and anybody who are related to the Knights, Wards and others attend. Normally it is held on the old stumping ground of SoSo, Mississippi in Jones County. A relative from another part of the Country has agreed to host the next reunion in his city/state . No matter the venue, you’ll wear yourself out hugging and shaking hands with so many kinfolk. Since I have not logged on in a while to the website, I am not prepared at this time to share any information about the reunion. I promise you, once I find out the particulars, I will share them with you.

Don’t you find this information fasinating?

I agree; it makes the info accessible to even more family members.

I appreciate your comment and too and thankful for the information provided to bring clarity the family history. My grandmother, Marie Musgrove, grand-daughter of Hettie Ward-Musgrove (Harriet Ward’s daughter), told me there was a large family of Knight relatives living in the Erie, PA area. I would like to correspond with you to learn more about the Knight family, if of course that is ok with you. Currently, I live in the New Jersey/ Philadelphia area.
