He was a quick shooter and carried a double-barrel muzzle-loading shotgun named Sal. Newt was a staunch primitive Baptist who did not drink, or cuss yet doted on all his children. By today’s standards, society would view him as liberal. Newt was pro-Union, against slavery and secession.
#NEWTON KNIGHT FULL#
Physically, Newt Knight stood approximately 6 foot 4 inches with black curly hair and a full beard. Although Newton’s grandfather John owned slaves, Albert and Newton did not. He was the grandson of John “Jackie” Knight (1773-1861) one of Jones County’s largest slaveholders in the state of Mississippi. Newton Knight was born on Novemto Albert Knight (1799-1864) and Mason Knight. The event in question led by a Southern Unionists, local white farmer named Newton Knight. The historical rebellion in question takes place over one hundred and fifty-three years ago in a town called Ellisville located in Jones County Mississippi. War stories fought not on the battlefields, but deep in the mosquito-laden swamps of rural Mississippi. Through historical movies and various books related to the South, I have discovered a new set of tales that would baffle the mind. The integration of schools, businesses and all facets in society have benefited greatly from Federal mandates written to include, all men and women of different races, beliefs and cultures. Growing up a child in the South, time has afforded me the opportunity, to witness and experience many changes that have taken place since Civil Rights and the destruction of States Rights and Jim Crow.
