----------

NOTE:

 

Assume this is Patrick Jefferson Knox, son of John & Mary B. (Robison) Knox. The only other Patrick Jefferson Knox in Mecklenburg Co, NC was not born until 1883....which may be the year Patrick Jefferson Knox (I) died, since 1880 is the last census record found for him.

 

Wondering if Patrick's father John, who died in July 1860, may have been ill for some period of time before he died in June 1860.  Knowing the end was near... Patrick returned from Alabama for a brief while to be with his father?  Can think of no other explanation for why he would be in Mecklenburg during this timeframe.
