Do you know of Knightsville ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Knightsville. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Knightsville.<1>

Our sources for Knightsville (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Knightsville other than they indicate that Knightsville would be found somewhere in Allegany County, New York.
