|
According to family
tradition, Thomas Knight emigrated to the U.S. on the same boat as Mary Ann
Andrews. They met en route to Adrian, Michigan on that boat. They had not
known each other before coming to the U.S.
However, the 1900 census clearly gives two different years of
immigration for both Thomas and Mary Ann.
