  • Notes 
    • No doubt that John McKnitt Shelby was named for John McKnitt. His
      great grandmother was Susannah Polk Alexander, wife of Evan Shelby,
      and a great grand-daughter of John McKnitt from Donegal, Ireland. The
      McKnitt's of Mecklenburg, NC descended from John McKnitt's line.
      (MCM-2003)

      1850 Census for Jerico, Perry Co., AL states that John McNitt was born in Al in 1848.
      Must be a mistake. He was baptised in Mecklenburg Co., NC.
