Emily (Emiline) KNOX [1816-1911]
m.1834 Joseph TURNER Sr. [c.1797-1848] Emily Kno x was
born 16 Dec., 1816 at
Dudley, Worcester, England and emigrated from England to New York State c. 1825;
father - Tobias KNOX, mother - Unknown (believed to be Elizabeth ???); married
at ae 17, Joseph TURNER in 1834;
moved with Joseph to Michigan 2 years prior to Michigan becoming a state; Joseph died in 1848 at Stoney
Creek; much of Emily is known from the various affidavits that she
made and of those that were made on her behalf and other information
was provided by County Records; November 1848, Joseph died and
left her with 6 young children and one child yet to be born; George
her first child was 15 years old; creditors of the store goods filed
claims against the goods and Emily fought them off for two years; the
creditors, I assume, could not believe that Emily was capable of
running the store; Emily was left with a debt of $4,000.00;
within the next two years, 1848-1850 Emily disposed of the Detroit property and remained at Stoney Creek fending off the creditors;
c. 1852 moved to Pontiac; the creditors
received 10 cents on the dollar; Emily was left poor and relied on her children to support
her; 1862 moved to Saginaw and lived with her son, Charles;
affidavits and
applications for Pension regarding her son, Albert who died in 1862, in the War
of the Rebellion, state that she was married 15 Mar., 1834; these forms gave no witnesses
nor the location of that marriage; longest known friend, from these papers, was Andrew W.
Freeto who had known her since 1834; on one of her affidavits when was asked to supply
disinterested individuals who knew of her personal affairs, Emily stated that "....she
was not in the habit of disclosing personal information to disinterested persons."Emily remained with her son, Charles at 1702 Court St., Saginaw until her death on 30 May, 1911 at the age of 94; outlived all her children except Charles who died 2 years later; interred 1 Jun, 1911 in Oakwood Cemetery, Saginaw, Mich.
