Hi Jean
I believe we are distantly related. My 3xGt Grandparents were Abraham Knight and Mary Loosemore from Yarcombe. Abraham had a son John who married Elizabeth Sparkes - my 2 x Gt Grandparents. Joel and Robert were John's brothers.
John had a son also John who married Harriett Collins - my Gt Grandparents.
John's youngest son was Frederick Levi Knight my grandfather borne around 1860.
Frederick was married twice. His first wife Martha died. They had 2 children that I know about. he remarried Annie Bradford who was my grandmother. My Mother Ethel was their youngest daughter borne 1915.
This following website and page may be of interest as it has info on the yarcombe knights

The two Johns and Frederick lived in Curland Somerset Nr Taunton., The list of baptisms below follows the families.
