I guess the "set in stone" record of John L. Knighten's life is his headstone at Ebenezer Cemetery, in Falkville, Alabama.  View <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/weUMBrMvGCzmBxJsAS2xADXEtEA/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/weUMBrMvGCzmBxJsAS2xADXEtEA/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/weUMBrMvGCzmBxJsAS2xADXEtEA/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/weUMBrMvGCzmBxJsAS2xADXEtEA/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ThetherwebPresenceOfJeremyBBlevins/~4/6VlMmLuYNYs" height="1" width="1"/>http://www.jeremyblevins.com/2010/05/john-l-knighten-just-facts.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6699607462385398712.post-40933205393003277192010-05-22T12:03:00.000-05:002010-05-22T12:03:58.056-05:002010-05-22T12:03:58.056-05:00Jeremy B.

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 <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/QiUrfoEWCwe4W6W3dXUhzr9Mqhc/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/QiUrfoEWCwe4W6W3dXUhzr9Mqhc/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/QiUrfoEWCwe4W6W3dXUhzr9Mqhc/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/QiUrfoEWCwe4W6W3dXUhzr9Mqhc/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ThetherwebPresenceOfJeremyBBlevins/~4/Nx2p7ut3qAM" height="1" width="1"/>http://www.jeremyblevins.com/2010/05/cherokee-knightens-intro.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6699607462385398712.post-75266702960711702692010-05-07T13:26:00.000-05:002010-05-07T13:26:05.408-05:002010-05-07T13:26:05.408-05:00Jeremy B.
