"William Knott, farmer and stock raiser. His father, Ephraim Knott, was a native of Pennsylvania, and his mother, Agnes Knott, was born in New York. They settled in Fayette Co., Ind., early in the present century, where in 1821, Dec. 28, was born to them a son, the subject of this sketch. Ephraim Knott took great interest in preserving the Union when it was assailed by traitor hands. Although too old to take up arms, he contributed liberally for the cause. at the age of twenty-one, William was united in the holy bonds of matrimony with Margaret Clark, in Randolph Co., Ind. Miss Clark was born in Montgomery County, Ohio. Their home has been blessed by seven children. the gloom of death has found its way over the threshold, however, and carried away one of their number."

"William Knott was born in December, 1821, in Fayette County, Ind., and, at the age of nineteen moved to Randolph County, Ind., where he was married, and ten years later moved to Tazewell County, Ill., where he became a prominent citizen, taking an active part in the ubbuilding of the town of Delavan, and being the foremost man in securing the county fair at that town. He moved to Harrison County, Mo., in January, 1881, and engaged in the mercantile business at Hatfield for four years, since which time he has been interested in farming and stock raising. While in Delavan, ill., he was quite an extensive shipper and buyer of stock, and a member of the firm of Knott and Snideker, harness and saddle manufacturers. He began life for himself at the age of nineteen with no capital, but has so well succeeded in his business ventures that he is now the owner of 1,100 acres of well improved land in Harrison County, and also owns some valuable town property in Delavan. September 9, 1841, he married Miss Margaret Clark, a native of Randolph County, Ind., and a daughter of John Clark, who married a Miss Huffman. To Mr. and Mrs. Knott seven children have been born: Smith A., Mary E., John L., Andrew J., William C., Franklin (deceased) and Charles H. Mr. Knott is a Democrat in politics, and has served as school director at Delavan and other places where he has made his home. He is a Master Mason, an himself and wife are members of the Christian Church. He is the second of nine children born to Ephraim and Agnes (Hyers) Knott, natives of Pennsylvania and New York. The father was a soldier in the Mexican War, and a son off William and Sarah Ann (Peyton) Knott, who were of German descent. William Knott was a soldier in the War of 1812 and the Revolution. The maternal grandparents of our subject, William and Sarah Ann Hyers, were natives of New York State. "
