Comments:


I have not found proof that Hiram's wife was Elena Swindell.  
I am looking for more proof and information on Hiram's parents

Hiram's family group sheet for 1st wife preceedes
this one.

(1) COLLEGE MOUND CEMETERY, Kaufman County, TX
Knowles, Hiram K. Jan 28, 1807 - May 24, 1879
Knowles, Mary E. Linton Feb. 20, 1820 - March 20, 1891 

(2) James Monroe Knowles was in the Civil War; he lived in MO and is 
listed on the Bollinger County, MO 1890 Civil War Vet Census (in 
Union Twp).  Monroe and Laura Knowles were living in Union Twp, 
Bollinger Co, MO in 1870.  James and his wife, Laura Melvina KNOWLES, 
have also been recorded as "of Patton", MO (Patton is
in Bollinger County).  It is possible that James was son of Hester 
(Gibbs) and John Knowles as they had a son "J. M." same age 
as "James M." listed in the 1850 census.  John had died in
1848 and Hester was a widow.  Hester and son Benjamin Clardy Knowles
and daughter Permelia G. Knowles continued to live in Bollinger 
County, MO.  (Hester was again widowed in 1870 -- her surname was SMITH).
