Charles Knott b. 1840
I am searching for information regarding the Charles Knott family.He was born 7/4/1840.He and his wife Helena (Lena), are interred at KcKendree Cemetery, Bond Co., Illinois.I am told they were both from Germany. His son, my great-grandfather, William Mack Knott, was born in St. Louis, 5/8/1870.He settled in keyesport, Illinois.His 1st wife Mary Emma Sapp had several children: Willie Knott, b. 6/30/1897; Charles Franklin Knott, b Sept 1900; Alfred Taylor Knott, b 10/15/1903; Florence Mae and Flora, b 8/23/1906; Virgil Leon Knott, b Sept 1909.
Florence was my grandmother.I knew nothing of a twin sister, Flora, until I found the memory books from William and Mary Emma's funerals.All I know is that there was a twin.
Any information would be appreciated.At the time of William Mack Knott's death, the obituary noted he had 102 direct descendants.I am one of them.
