Very early census records are hard to come by mostly due to destruction of government offices either by accident or war. These losses are almost crippling to the genealogist in some places and during some periods. I've picked up as much as I could find over the years and here are the earliest, including the Jamestown Muster, the tithable lists and processioning lists wherever I could find them if they included a Knight. I've included anything that might be a "census type" mention of a Knight, so I've stretched the term just a bit. Obviously, you can get a much better idea of the spread of Knights, and their names, in the general records lists which include births, deaths, marriages, land transactions, wills, etc, but here, I'm just specifically looking for official records of a particular type.
The very early SC data comes from: Jackson, Ron V., Accelerated Indexing Systems, comp.. South Carolina Census, 1790-1890. Compiled and digitized by Mr. Jackson and AIS from microfilmed schedules of the U.S. Federal Decennial Census, territorial/state censuses, and/or census substitutes. (Jury Lists, 1731, Acts #530 [at SC Archives]; Page Number: 32; Family Number: 40) Caleb Knight is also on the Grand Jury list for St. Andrew Parish. (Jury Lists, 1731, Acts #530 [at SC Archives]; Page Number: 25; Family Number: 67) (Jury Lists, 1740, Acts #664 [at SC Archives]; Page Number: 7; Family Number: 115) (Jury Lists, 1740, Acts #664 [at SC Archives]; Page Number: 11; Family Number: 124)
Other records are provided by the National Archives and Records Administration, in the form of images served by ancestry.com. Any items from odd sources will be noted in place or you will find the reference citation in the Raw Records List (when it is finally all published!).
I've extracted what limited information was available from each source and households (HH) are separated by double asterisks thus: ** and the name of the Head of Household (HH) on the record is in bold for ease of finding. I've gone over this several times, trying to catch all errors, but I can't guarantee that there are none; I just do my best at any moment. Also, as noted elsewhere, for ease of search/finding, I've most often converted names to the modern spelling and have frequently included how the name appears in the record and/or how the transcriber rendered it: (text: Knite, trans: Kite). You will see that ancestry transcribers can be really, really dense, making some of the most awful hash of what are often ordinary names. I tremble for my country when I consider the lack of education exhibited by such mistakes.
This page constitutes almost 200 years of records: a rather poor showing, but it's about all we've got over that stretch and I've snatched up every scrap I could find. Later censuses are more comprehensive.
1620 - Mar – VA Jamestown – Info – Census - Virginia's first muster, or census, was compiled in March 1620, at which time the population included 892 Europeans and, among "Others not Christians in the Service of the English," four Indians and thirty-two Africans. Fifteen of the Africans were male and seventeen were female. Although it is uncertain where the Africans lived, some probably resided at Jamestown in the households of Sir George Yeardley and Captain William Peirce, both of whom later were credited with having black servants. (Coldham and others)
1624 - Feb – Virginia Colony – Info – Census - The population of Europeans in the Virginia colony was 906. A muster, or census, listed twenty-one Africans, down from thirty-two in 1620. Twelve of the Africans were identified by name, suggesting they had been baptized. Some of the Africans probably had succumbed to summertime diseases which killed a majority of new residents during the colony's first few decades. For this reason, Virginia leaders periodically requested that ships carrying new servants arrive during the winter months, as opposed to August, when the White Lion had landed. Research suggests that some Africans may have been carrying a blood parasite that transmitted malaria, while their close contact with the European slave traders likely exposed them to other infectious diseases. They would have been susceptible to the various agues and fevers common to the Chesapeake Bay region, and probably suffered through the unfamiliar winter cold. And those Africans who did not die of disease may have died in the massacre of 1622.
Four of the eleven Africans living at Flowerdew Hundred—a plantation on the upper reaches of the James River that leading merchant Abraham Peirsey had purchased from Governor Yeardley—were identified by name: Anthony, William, John, and another Anthony.
Three Africans resided at Jamestown, but only one was listed by name: a woman named Angelo (sometimes Angela) belonging to William Peirce.
An African named Edward lived in the Neck O'Land, the mainland behind Jamestown, and was part of the household headed by Richard Kingsmill, guardian of the late Reverend Richard Bucke's children.
Peter, Antonio, Frances, and Margaret resided on the lower side of the James River at Edward Bennett's plantation near the former Indian town of Warraskoyack, while Anthony and Isabella were members of Captain William Tucker's household in Elizabeth City (formerly Kecoughtan). One African was listed among the dead at West and Shirley Hundred, in the corporation of Charles City.
John Woodson and Sarah his wife are mentioned as living at Flowerdew Hundred , or as it was later called, Piersey’s Hundred, on the south side of James River, in what is now Prince George County. Again and again I read in accounts of this family that “Dr. John Woodson purchased six African slaves in 1620 and that these were registered in 1623 as part of his household.” This is false as can be seen from the records above. The Muster record shows John Woodson and wife Sarah with "Corne, 4 bushells; Powder, 1 lb.; Lead, 3 lb.; Peece fixt, 1; Sword, 1". (Coldham) No slaves, no medical title, nothing that sets them apart from the ordinary settlers. For comparison, see the muster entry for Dr. John Potts below.
1624 – Feb – VA James City – Admin – Muster - Doctor John Potts is enumerated along with “his men” and “servants”. A Randall Holt was listed as one of “Doctor Pott’s Men in the Maine.” He was apprenticed to Dr. Potts, the physician general to the colony. There is a theory that Holt was a relative of Dr. Potts as they both accompanied Sir Francis Wyatt to Virginia on the ship George, in 1621. Dr. Potts served as governor of Virginia from 5 Mar 1628 to 9 Mar 1629. (Dorman 1, p. 28, 31; Dorman 2, p. 311)
Note: The important point I would like to make here is the difference between the documentary survival regarding Dr. Potts and that of the alleged “Doctor” John Woodson. Had Woodson actually been a doctor, it is unlikely that the person(s) making the muster list, would have failed to note that fact; had he actually been the educated doctor that his descendant have claimed, his trajectory in the society of the colony would have been quite different. “Ancient Planters”, as they were termed, were entitled to land patents by virtue of their status as survivors. There is no record of the Woodson’s (John and Robert) acquiring land that would have been theirs by right as sons of an Ancient Planter; nor are the alleged sons, John and Robert Woodson noted as being sons of an Ancient Planter and having such rights when they finally do appear. That they didn’t suggests that their status was not what has been claimed.
1624 - Feb – VA Elizabeth City – Admin – Muster - A John Knight is listed as having died in Virginia between April 1623, and February 16, 1623/4, at Elizabeth City. (Coldham)
1624 - Feb – VA Warrasquioake / Isle of Wight – Admin – Muster - Capt. Nathaniell Basse and his muster: Nathaniell Basse, aged 35, two other men; no wife, no children. (Dorman 2004, p. 46)
1624 - Feb – VA James City – Admin – Muster - A Richard Knight, listed twice, among the dead. (Coldham 1987, p. 39)
Note: Was that two Richard Knights, or just one listed twice by mistake. Probably the former.
1624 - Feb – VA Accomack / Northampton– Admin – Muster - Benjamin Knight, aged 28, servant to Capt. William Eppes, arrived on the ship Bona Nova from the Port of London, in 1620, listed in the Muster of Capt. William Eppes, inhabitants of the Eastern Shore, over the Bay. (Coldham) Mordecay Knight is found living in Hog Island as a servant of Capt. Ralph Hamor. His age and date of arrival are unknown. He said that he arrived in Virginia as a passenger on the ship William & John from the Port of London. (Coldham)
Note: Mordecay “Knight” appears in Hertfordshire, England, in 1655 when his will is probated. From this record we learn that his name was “Mordecay Bayley, Yeoman, alias Mordecay Knight”. Obviously, he returned to England as did many who could.
Regarding Hog Island, it is first mentioned in the writings of John Smith (1580-1631) in respect of the Starving Time of 1609: ...but the hogges were transported to Hog Ile, where also we built a blocke house with a garrison, to give us notice of any shipping,..." A map of Virginia With a description of the countrey, the commodities, people, government and religion. Written by Captaine Smith, sometimes governour of the countrey.(1624)
1625 - Jan/Feb – Virginia Colony – Info – Census - The population of Europeans in the Virginia colony was 1,232 at this time. The 1625 muster listed twenty-three Africans and a single Indian, all servants, who resided on plantations scattered from the mouth of the James to Flowerdew Hundred. As servants, they probably lived in houses separate from their European masters. And while the 1625 muster included, for most Europeans, the years in which they arrived and the ships on which they came, little such information was provided for Africans.
Three male and five female Africans lived in Yeardley's household at Jamestown; at Flowerdew Hundred, there were four African men, two women, and a child. An African man named John Pedro lived in the household of Francis West, of Elizabeth City, and the same Edward from 1624 still lived with Richard Kingsmill at Neck O'Land.
Captain Peirce's female African, Angelo, was said to have come to Virginia on the Treasurer in 1619. By 1625, Captain Tucker's Anthony and Isabella, in Elizabeth City, had produced a son, William; all three had been baptized.
Among the African slaves owned by the Bennett family in 1625 was Antonio (also listed in 1624), who had arrived on the James in 1621. In March 1622, he was one of just a handful of people who managed to survive Opechancanough's attack on the plantation, and he eventually gained his freedom. At some point, Antonio wed a woman named Mary, who had come to Virginia in 1622 on the Margaret and John, and the two lived as Anthony and Mary Johnson in Northampton County on the Eastern Shore. There, they raised four children and by the 1650s owned 250 acres of land. Their two sons owned adjoining farms of 450 and 100 acres each before the whole family moved to Maryland, in the 1660s. Anthony Johnson's grandson, John Johnson Jr., purchased a 44-acre farm there in 1677 and named it Angola.
On September 19, 1625, the General Court ordered Captain Nathaniel Basse to provide clothing for an African man named Brass (or Brase), who had come to Virginia with a Captain Jones and been sold to Captain Basse. The same decision awarded temporary custody of Brass to Lady Temperance Flowerdew Yeardley, the wife of Sir George Yeardley and a resident of Jamestown, who was then ordered to pay forty pounds of good tobacco per month for his labor "so long as he remayneth with her." On October 3, the court ruled again, this time transferring Brass to the custody of Governor Francis Wyatt and voiding the original sale Captain Jones had made to Captain Basse.
By 1628, the African population in Virginia jumped dramatically when the ship Fortune, out of Massachusetts Bay, captured a Portuguese slaver carrying about 100 Angolans, whom the captain sold in Virginia for tobacco. A muster planned for 1629 either did not take place or the records did not survive. (VA Hist online)
Yeardley probably named the plantation after his wife's wealthy father, Anthony Flowerdew, just as he named another plantation "Stanley Hundred" after his wife's wealthy mother, Martha Stanley. The plantation survived the Indian massacre of 1622 with only six deaths, remaining an active and fortified private plantation unlike many others in the area, such as the Citie of Henricus and Martin's Hundred, that were abandoned. The first windmill erected in English North America was built at Flowerdew Hundred by 1621, and was an English post mill. In 1624, Abraham Piersey, Cape Merchant of the Virginia Company, purchased Flowerdew Hundred renaming it Piersey's Hundred. Piersey's Stone House was the first home with a permanent foundation in the colony. The 1624 Muster lists approximately sixty occupants at the settlement, including some of the first Africans in Virginia. Over the years the name has been spelled as Fleur de, Flowerdieu, Flower de and Flourdy Hundred. Other names for the property include Piersey or Peircey's Hundred, Selden's, Hood's, and Bellevue.

NOTE: There is a 12 year skip between the last tithe list and this one. In the meantime, John Knight (or John Knight JR) has purchased property in Granville, NC, which he has sold to his sons (or brothers) Jonathan and William as the records show. Also at this point, there are apparently three Knight Households in Lunenburg, John SR, John JR, and Peter, while the oldest sons, Jonathan, Charles and William, are now in North Carolina.

Note: John Knight now has another son 16 or older in his household though with a 5 year skip between tithe lists, it’s difficult to say much except that he is probably under 21 or he would likely have his own household based on previous pattern. Notice also that John Knight JR is not listed after showing up in 1764. He is back in later records.

Census Records from Images provided by National Archives and Records Administration. Yes, for the early ones, which were not excessively long, I went through them all at least twice, and in some cases, if possible, read the entire census. Again I note: I've extracted what limited information was available from each source and households (HH) are separated by double asterisks thus: ** and the name of the Head of Household (HH) on the record is in bold for ease of finding.
Also note that I have excluded Northern State Knights. I probably should have included at least Maryland, Delaware and Rhode Island, but I didn't start out to collect all the Knights in the world, it just sort of grew bigger. I did collect the names from the states where it was apparent that VA Knights were going. If someone else wants to collect the Northern Knights and arrange them as I have so I don't have to do any extra work, I'll be very happy to include them and give credit where it is due. Believe me, this is a mind-numbing, crazy-making task!
If a census isn't here, it's because I didn't find one.

There are no federal census records for Indiana for this year, however there is a reconstructed census that covers 1810 more or less. (Original data: Census Publishing. State Census Records. West Jordan, Utah: Census Publishing, 2003-2009. Records in this database come from Census Publishing’s efforts to both restore or re-create missing pieces of early censuses and actually create decennial “census” records for the years prior to 1790. They extract their information from sources such as not limited to: tax lists, legislative petitions, voter's lists, state and federal land records, and military lists.)
