Esther, whose name also sometimes written as "Ester", was born to Abisha, Packard, Jr and Olive Peck Packard Goodrich at the Old Packard Farm in Madrid, New York when the town was still young. Her grandfather was an early settler, having built the farmhouse before 1820.
She remained in the area her entire life, marrying William McKnight in Madrid. The marriage was recorded in the three year spread when vital records keeping was voluntary for New York. In the same three year spread was also recorded the birth of her oldest child, a daughter Anna Olive named after her grandmothers.
She bore 9 children, all but two living into the 20th century. There were only two different residences for Esther while the children were growing up, one being the Packard farm mentioned above. She was the wife of a farmer and millwright.
The children spread out across the country with one son remaining in Madrid. In later years he had both parents come live with him in the center of the village. Esther was tended by him delicately and lovingly after William died. She passed away after a lengthy illness that had her bedridden for months.
Child not linked:
~ Hiram Peck McKnight, imprisoned Ohio and pardoned by the Governor; imprisoned Massachusetts under his brother's name
She is buried next to William in the new section.
