General Notes: Wife -

---

Living with Merton Jay KNIGHT in Rochester, New York in 1900. She had the name McPHERSON at that time. She was married 3 times. She was widowed per 1900 census. My grandfather, Harold Stanley KNIGHT, refers to her as "Grandma WEEKS". That was her last of 4 surnames. She is married to Robert R. RISLEY in 1880 per Chautauqua County, NY census.

Harold Stanley KNIGHT has her as married 3 times and possible maiden name of SMITH (this was confirmed in detail by Walter (Pete) Scott Risley and corresponding Civil War pension papers).

Living at 89 Center St., Fredonia, Chautauqua County, NY in 1917, 1920.
