John

(1862- ? )
John
W. McKnight
was born during the Civil War in Fayette County, PA, the son of William and Mahala (Minerd)
McKnight. He apparently never
married.
The photo here is thought, but not proven, to be him.
In 1900 he resided with his parents near Sandy Hill, Fayette County, PA, and worked as a coal miner.
In 1906, after his parents' death, he purchased a two-acre tract of their farm at Sandy Hill and lived there in 1920. His fate after that is unknown.
