sketcher, farmer and customs agent, was born in England, only son of Nathan Knight of Manchester. He arrived at the Swan River Colony (Western Australia) in the Advocate on 27 August 1841 and soon afterwards drew two sketches of Fremantle: Looking towards Arthur’s Head and Fremantle Seen from the Hill on the Canning Road (1841, unlocated). These were reproduced over 80 years later in the Western Mail and are his only recorded works. In October Knight began farming at The Dale, York, in partnership with Henry Landor who also came out in the Advocate . The partnership was dissolved in 1845 when Landor returned to England. On 26 December 1847 Knight married Sarah Sophia Hester at York (WA); they had four sons. In 1850 he was back at Fremantle working as a Customs House agent.
