Paula -
I don't have an index to 1860 for RI, but from your
information I do find a James Knight, in Smithfield,
on p 398 [the stamped page number in the top right
corner] handwritten page # 55, Ancestry image #58
This first one looks like it could be the one you want.
1860 U.S. Census Rhode Island Providence
Smithfield
enumerated June 12, 1860
James Knight, 30, Cotton Weaver, born Ireland
Maria Knight, 22, born Ireland
John, 4, born RI
Mary E, 2, born RI
There is only one district for Smithfield, containing 339
images. In looking through it randomly, I see it was filmed
out of order, but I did find page 93 at ancestry image #266
with another James Knight.
1860 U.S. Census Rhode Island Providence
Smithfield
James Knight, 27, looks like Laborer
Mary Knight, 24
Eunice Knight, 45
They were all born in RI
I looked in the1850 and found one Knight family with
both a James Knight, age 16, and Eunice age 35,
so I think it's probably the same family as
above, although this James says he was born in Pennsylvania

Ancestry Images 90 &91 of 135
Daniel, 60, Farmer, b. RI
Barbay, 62, not employed, b. RI
Nathan, 25, Weaver, b. Pennsylvania
Eunice, 35, not employed, b. RI
Daniel J, 23, mule spinner, b. Pennsylvania
William, 20, farmer, b. Pennsylvania
Allen, 18, not employed b. Pennsylvania
James A, 16, farmer, b. Pennsylvania
Abner M,1, b. RI
The Pennsylvania might be Tennesee, but I don't think so.

Would anyone have access to the 1860 Rhode Island census? I'm
looking for a
James Knight in Smithfield, Providence County, page 398, and
Smithfield
district #1, page 93.
I don't know if this is my James, and would appreciate any
information. James
would have been married to Maria Nolan by that time and may have had
a
daughter Maria also.
Thank you,
Paula
