James and Laura moved to St. Joseph, Missouri in 1874, along with his parents. At some point of his life he worked on a railroad and had frost bite on his legs. He was disabled from it and from that point worked as a night watchman for the trolley company in St. Joe. His son Perry Otis watched over his parents although his father continued to work at what ever job he could get.

The only children not listed below was Elizabeth Ann who ran away from home at a very early age, and Bertha Malvina who I could not find either. Bertha married a man named Paul. Her birthdate was listed as 13 Aug 1887 in the family Bible.

ANCESTORS
Daniel Cain Knight & Elizabeth Wallace
Samuel Knight & Hannah Cain
Solomon Moman Knight & Elizabeth Simpson
Able Knight & Rachel Head
Thomas Knight & Sarah Elizabeth Plumley
Giles Knight & Mary English (came in 1682 with William Penn on the "Bristol Society".

Dale Knight in Oklahoma has the family Bible of James and Elizabeth
I have a personal Bible given to James on his 16th birthdate with a nice note written my his mother.

There are 11 more generations of this family documented. Quakers were wonderful at keeping records and you can follow this family thru all the Quaker Meeting House's records.
