  • Notes 
    • Cynthia was still living the next year but she was not in Steele Creek
      in 1870. Because of the location of where Joseph lived on the river,
      it is possible that the census taker missed Cynthia and her youngest
      two sons. She is not living around the area of Samuel B. Knox. On the
      property that should have been hers after the death of Joseph, was
      John Knox, (evidently the older son John D.) but he had only a black
      family living with him. Cynthia and Joseph had two younger sons, born
      almost 10 years after Tabitha was born. Whether they had more children
      during this time that died or for whatever reason, Cynthia doesn't
      show up again until the 1880 census when she is found as head of
      household and there are more families between her and Samuel's
      children which would indicate that each of them had sold some
      property. In 1880 census, Cynthia is age 52, her son William is 18 and
      Lee Knox is 13.

      William and Lee did not marry. William died in 1904 prior to Lake
      Wylie being formed. It is not known where Lee lived after the purchase
      of his property in the 1920s. He didn't die until 1933. Both are
      buried at Pleasant Hill Presbyterian showing R. William Knox, b.
      August 29, 1861, d. March 22, 1904 and Charles Lee Knox, b. January 7,
      1867, d. March 5, 1933. Cynthia is also buried at Pleasant Hill, b.
      February 24, 1828, d. June 2, 1884, wife of Joseph Knox.
