Rachel “Anna” Knight was born on March 4, 1874 in Jasper County, Mississippi.1 Her father, Newton Knight, a white farmer and ex-Confederate soldier, fought in the early stages of the Civil War. He later regarded the conflict as a rich man’s war and returned to Mississippi to take care of the women and children who were left behind.2 Anna’s mother, Georgeanne, who had been emancipated from slavery, was of racially mixed heritage. Anna and her two sisters, Lessie and Grace, and her brother, Howard, lived with their mother along with aunts and uncles in a small, overcrowded house in the Knight community, located on the southwestern border of Jasper County, about ten miles north of the town of Laurel. Although their daily life was austere, through energetic labor and frugality, the family managed to purchase 160 acres and livestock. Within the confines of their communal existence, they grew their own food, planted cotton, and sold timber as a cash crop.
