Below I will share the undisputable factual information that I have heard or found on my own that I have documents to back up.  Ancestry.com has been my friend for most of this, but it also includes visits to the Morgan County Archives and trips to cemeteries. I guess the "set in stone" record of John L. Knighten's life is his headstone at Ebenezer Cemetery, in Falkville, Alabama.  View

In Morgan County, Alabama legend, there exists the enigma of John L. Knighten, who some claim to be a full-blooded Cherokee who lived from 1849 to 1943.  He was my great-great-great grandfather.  I don't believe that the legend has been fabricated, but some of the details may have been embellished over the years.  The problem is, everyone with first- or even second-hand knowledge has fallen
