John Knight of Newbury, MA (son of Nicholas' brother William ) settled along the Parker River with his brother Richard (both tailors).
This John Knight (of Charlestown) was also known as "of Watertown" then of "Woburn" as Charlestown was sliced-up to create new towns. John Knight's (of Charlestown) father was Nicolas.
