Family Group:
-William Knight named as churchwarden 1616-1617. [No church records found for a William of this time period. Most likely the son William named in William Knight's will of 1573, which makes him the brother of James above.]
Family Group -- Ingeram was chr. 6 Mar 1597 in Hougham to William Knight. He becomes the progenitor of many Knights in Stockbury. He is the son of William the churchwarden above.
-25 Nov 1622, Ingeram Knight and Elizabeth Brenard, mar.
-19 Oct 1623, Marye d of Ingeram Knight, bap.
Family Group: This William is the one bapt. above in 1607 and who married Anne Knight in Hollingbourne in 1642.
-5 Feb 1642/3, Richard s of William Knight and [blank] his wife, bap.
Comments: The fact that William Knight, the churchwarden of 1616-17, was in Bicknor shows an association with the Knights of this parish, who are all closely related. We know from Ingeram's christening record in Hougham that his father was William Knight, which leads us to the conclusion that William the churchwarden is most likely his father since there was no known brother to Ingeram named William. William is most likely the brother of James of Bicknor and the son of the William and Jone as named in his father's will. Ingeram becomes the progenitor of many Knights in Stockbury.
