Edited from a note written by Hester Spriggs (1905-2004). Find note below.<\/em><\/p>\n

William Knight (1738-1801) is my 3rd great grandfather.\u00a0 <\/span>He was born, married and started a family in London, moving later to Worcester. He married Martha Tesseyman (1741-1816) in 1775. Martha\u2019s family came from York, arriving in London in 1760, when Martha was 19. Hester Spriggs writes<\/p>\n

\u201cAs Martha Tessyman (also Tessiman) entered London from York in 1760, the bells were tolling for the death of King George II, and the heads of the Scottish rebels were still impaled on the city gates.\u201d (Note: the last Scottish rebellion was 1745!)<\/i><\/p>\n

The Knights had one child Martha (1777-1866). Martha married William Spriggs (1776-1855) in 1813. About 1790, when William was 14, he built a miniature desk (in my possession) for his friend Martha (13), for whom we can assume, he had a deep affection. Twenty years later they married.<\/p>\n
