| 10 | Rachel’s Children Fathered by Jesse Davis Knight Slaves had few legal rights, least of all to marry and have children. Just two years after arriving on Jackie Knight’s place, Rachel became the slave mistress of his son, Jesse Davis Knight. Illicit interracial se xual relationships were not unusual in the antebellum South in the late e ighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Jesse Davis Knight’s liaison w ith Rachel resulted in the birth of three known children: Jeffery Earle y, Edmund, and Frances. Early in 1858, Rachel gave birth to a son, her third child. Jeffery Earley was born a slave, owned by his grandfather, John “Jackie” Knight. B y law, the status of the mother determined the status of the children, s o Rachel and her children were his property. After slavery, while still a t eenager, Jeffery married Martha Ann Eliza Jane, “Mollie,” the daughter o f Serena and Newton Knight. The rumor mill started immediately, with cl aims that Newt forced his daughter to marry the former slave boy who in p hysical appearance was nearly white and who after all shared the same g randfather. To local whites it was just impossible for a white girl to b ecome attracted to and fall in love with a Negro; however, to the famil y this was just the case. Jeffery and Mollie had grown up working and p laying together on Newton’s farm. Newton was well aware of this, and so he determined to erase any vestige of Negro in both Rachel’s and George A nn’s children. Rachel Knight the daughter of Abraham & Viny was born March 1849 in Macon, Bibb County, GA. She was a slave, owned by John "Jackie" Knight. Rachel died February 11, 1899 in Jasper County, Mississippi. Rachel is buried at the Knight Cemetery, in Jasper Co., MS. See the photo of her headstone in the Knight Cemetery.

| 22 | Bertha Mariah Thornton Kemp was my grandmother. I never knew her as she did when my mother was a small child. She had a son who died in June 1927 at the age of about six months and was buried here. She died six months later and they buried her with the baby. John Kemp paid for these burials with a calf and $15 according to the cemetery records. I had the headstone placed on her gravesite because she'd never had one. Left by her granddaughter on 13 Apr 2015. | Thornton, Bertha Mariah (I8135)

| 39 | Brother Luther & Sister Viola Knight Brother Luther and Sister Viola deeded the church one (1) acre of land back when the church pioneers were laying out there plans for the church. Church History of Soso Our First Church The Soso Seventh-Seventh-day Adventist Church may have started as early as the late 1800's. The efforts of Brother Holloway, a literature evangelist from Laurel, MS and the untiring efforts of Miss Anna Knight, a recent convert from Gitano, MS in an area known as "Six Town". Through their effort, the Third Angel's Message was made known to a small group of our chartered members. Worship was held in Bush Harbors during summer months and in individuals homes during the winter months. The first church was built in 1924. The first pastor was Pastor C.W. Holloway. The fact that he was the first Adventist preacher in Soso was not accepted at first. He was threatened and harassed, but as he began t o preach, the people began to read the Bible and many accepted the truth. The land where the church is built was deeded to the Louisiana - Mississippi Conference by Brother Luther and Sister Viola Knight. The Louisiana - Mississippi Conference gave $51.00 and the Union Conference gave $ 20.00 toward the building of the church. The total cost of the first church came to $341.00. The first church school started in 1927. Allen Humphrey was the first teacher. Later came Seneva Crosgrove, Miss. Jones, Mr. Mitchell Palmer, Miss. Hortense Price, Mr. Jackson, Miss. Rose Harris, and Mr. Benjamin Moody. The church school closed in 1956. From 1898 or 1901 to 1945 Soso was part of the Gulf State Conference. Many important records were lost due to a fire. In 1945 Regional Conferences came on the scene and Soso became a part of the South Central Conference. | Knight, Luther (I406)
