I offer two methods to view the Knifong information.
  1. If you just want to follow the direct line from Balthasar Neufang to Minnie Rogers Knifong (Harvey) and then her daughter Nevis Flora Harvey (Burnham) and her daughter Doris Virginia Burnham (Nyberg) in Missouri, then the Family Line section is just for you.
  2. Each family often has many children and sometimes even multiple spouses.  This is all very interesting and those details are offered in the Individual Family Histories section.

Notes:
Complete names of George Washington's children were made available by Mary Ned Fotis.

The son George W was discovered in the 1880 and 1900 censuses.  He is probably George William, and is therefore our Will Knifong.

* (Raymond's dates determined from Rembrance Card which says he was 7yr 6 mo 15 da old when he died)
Photos of the children may be seen by clicking on the Album above.

George (age 21) and his wife Martha A (age 19) and their daughter Mary A (age 1) lived in Pleasant Hill Township in Sullivan Co, MO in the 1870 census.
