Susannah Knight, was born #onthisday in 1833 in Anson County, North Carolina. In 1875, Susannah (seated in the middle) and her husband James traveled to Texas by wagon and settled in the Lake Abilene area where they built the cabin that is now on our grounds. Susannah and James raised 6 of their 15 children in this home — the Knight-Sayles cabin also remains the oldest building in Taylor County! #texasyouexpect #taylorcountyhistorycenter
