Knight Burials in Georgia

At some point in my hunt for records and any scrap of verifiable information about Knights, and most particularly, John Knight of Effingham GA, I came across this note somewhere online:

John Knight RS b 1750 (m Frances Newsom ) She is buried in Union Primitive Baptist Church cemetery, Berrien Co., Ga. She was born ca 1753 & died ca 1840 in Wayne County,Ga.

Having checked out the Union Primitive Baptist Church cemetery, it occurred to me that I should check other Knight burials in GA, which I did, with the following results, though I've eliminated anyone born in the 20th century. In this case, it's not just one cemetery, so I've included the town/county location.
