The Free State of Jones: Mississippi's Longest Civil War ,.....
(Author)Victoria E. Bynum

Newton Knight (1837 - February 16, 1922)[1] was the grandson of John "Jackie" Knight, who was awarded land grants for his service in the War of 1812 in Jones County, Mississippi and owned slaves. Unlike many in his family and his state Newton Knight was against slavery and favored equality between races. His outlaw company avoided capture by hiding among the many bluffs along the Leaf River . He also generated controversy within his family and locally for living openly with a black wife, Rachel. He fathered children with her who bore the name Knight and were known to be biracial . The controversy was not his fathering children with Rachel, or his living with her but the way he considered her a wife, treated her as a wife, recognized his children, tried to provide for his half black children, and wanted the local school to accept all of his children. Newton was active in supporting Reconstruction, but faded from public life afterwards. From Wikipedia
