Comments: Kindred was blessed with three sets of Twins after arriving in
the Athens Area Set 1 Andrew Jackson KNIGHT/George Washington KNIGHT; Set
2 Rebecca Martin  KNIGHT/Jessie Mailssa KNIGHT; Set 3 Judge Martin
KNIGHT/General Manion Knight.  Kindred arrived in Athens after forming a
party in South Carolina intending to sail around the horn and settle in
California due to the Gold Rush. While sailing along the Florida Coast,
Cholera broke out on ship and they were denied landing for resupply.
Rounding Florida into the Gulf of Mexico the group ran their ship on to
ground some where along the Alabama coast. The families of Foreman,
Knight, and Owen then moved from Alabama through Louisana into East
Texas, there the families found a beautiful resting spot in Henderson
County there they setled and started farming.
