Foster: Knight, John, s. William, of Staplegrove, Somerset, pp. New Inn Hall, matric 2 Apr 1669, aged 17; BA 1673, MA 1675 (incorporated at Cambridge 1676), BD and DD 1698, vicar of Banbury, Oxon, rector of Tusmore 1683, and of Broughton, Oxon, 1693, until his death 10 Sept 1712, aged 61; buried there. See Fasti, ii. 348; Rawl., iii. 270.
The record for James Knight is surely an error. It seems likely that the schoolmaster of St Martin's is the same person.
