From the Genealogical Dictionary of New England Settlers, Savage, Sect. IV, Chap. 4, Vol 3, Page 34 states: GEORGE (KNIGHT): He was of Scarborough, died in 1671, in his will of 5 Apr. of that year he gives to wife, Elinor, son Nathan, and a daughter Elizabeth. His widow married Henry Brooking, as perhaps I may be justified for conjecture by the dark passage in Genealogical Register Vol. IX, page 220.

In the Genealogical Dictionary of Maine & New Hampshire by Noyes, Libby and Davis, 1979, GPC, Baltimore, page 403 is found: GEORGE (KNIGHT), of Black Point, had a wife Eleanor who was indicted for suspicion of adultery 7 Nov. 1665. He died soon after making his will 5 Apr. 1671, the inventory being filed 27 May. By 10 Oct. 1671 his widow had married 2d Henry Brookings who was appointed administrator of her estate on 2 Apr. 1672. Children: Nathan, born about 1667 and Elizabeth.
