Notes:

Names (Nathaniel and Fronie) are from Fannie (Knotts) Arrants death certificate.
Susan (Knotts) Hollemon is not listed with the family in the 1860 census, and the 1870 census has not yet been found. Nathaniel Knotts is listed as the father-in-law to her husband in 1900, which is why she is included here. It is possible this is another Knotts family, but seems unlikely.

- She married Charles Houston McDuffie ARRANTS in 1889.
- She died 14 Dec 1955, in Columbia, Richland Co., SC.
