And also in the Drouin Collection: 1816, Thomas, son of Thomas Knight private in the 76th Regiment and Mary his wife born 24 Jan and baptised 13 Feb 1816. By Geo Jenkins, chaplain to the forces. Sponsors Richard Sheldon, Wm Usher, Catharine Hallaman. Both parents made their mark.

Looking back at that 8th Aug 1816 marriage, both parties also made their mark, and Richard Sheldon was a witness. (The other one I think is Saml Trumans.)

The tree I was looking at also has a link to the 1851 Canadian census, which has the following household at Horton, Renfrew County, Canada West (Ontario):
Thomas Knight Farmer Notingham Ed (not sure if that's what it says) 63
Mary Do Mrs Sussex England 56
Mary Do Drummond, CW 20
Hannah Do Horton, CW 16
Ruth Do Horton Do 12
James Do Farmer Drummond, CW 22
Janet Do Mrs Lanark, CW 22
Ruth Do Horton Do 2.

The ages are "age next birthday".
