Hi - Sorry you didn't care for my suggestions--some folks do, some don't.

Anyway, here's some food for thought, all from the dreaded Ancestry.com (which I pay for).

Wild Guess 1: I think that your Willie KNOTT likely is George William KNOTT, 81, (08/02/1889 - 03/xx/1971), who died in Troup County, Georgia. His last residence was LaGrange.

Wild Guess 2: I think that one of his daughters likely was Willadean BRENDLE, 66, who died 06/06/1998 also in Troup County, Georgia.

Here is some supporting evidence. You should study it carefully IN THE ORIGINAL FOR YOURSELF--never take for absolute truth what ANYONE (even I) gives you.
