Frederick H. knight OF Sunbury. Pa,
an uncle of Col. Peter @. knight of
Tampa, and a son of Richard knight,
who fought under Washington during
the revolution:
"Washington's birthday, celebrated
today, holds for Frederick H. knight
of Sunbury an added significance, for
his father, Richard knight, fought
under Washington in the Revolution.
"Mr. knight is real son of the
Revolution. He is eighty-fve, takes
long walks daily, and is actively
abreast of affairs of the day
He resides with his son, Harry S.
knight, at Sunbury. During the Civil
war he enlisted in Company G, One
Hundred and Forty-seventh regiment,
Pennsylvania infantry, as a private,
returning at the close of the war as a
major. after fighting in thirty-four
battles and participating in Sherman's s
march to the sea.
Conrad knight, father OIL Richard
knight, who was the father of Fred
erick Fl. knight, lived in Adams coun-
ty at the time of the revolution, en-
listed in the Continental army and
was compelled to take with him his
young son, Richard, who was later
enlisted as drummer boy and re-
manned until the close of the war.

of the subject of this sketch, was cap
tain of Knights Company. FIRST regi-
ment, Pennsylvania militia.
1T is to be noted Frederick H.
Knight was born when his father,
Richard, was seventy years cid, which
