Thomas KNIGHT, farmer of Bury, was buried on the 17th April 1808 aged 68. So he was born about 1740.
There is a baptism of a Thomas KNIGHT on the 24th March 1740 at Billingshurst, the son of Thomas and Anne. A Thomas KNIGHT and Anne STRUDWICK (of Exceat) were married at West Dean (Lewes) on the 17th June 1740.
Is this it?
A Thomas & Anne were baptising in Bury starting with Anne KNIGHT on the 3rd May 1746.
Looks as if I have got back another generation!

Assume nothing!
Ann WEST was the daughter of William and Mary WEST. In William's will of 1818 she is described as the wife of Charles MUSTON and in 1820 is in receipt of of money from the probate.
But where was she born and what else can be found about her?
MUSTON is a 'Sussex' name so I assumed she would be in Sussex.
However, from the 1841 census she is living at Hinckley in Leicestershire and in 1851 in Clifton, Gloucestershire (born Storrington). Charles MUSTON is described as a woolstapler, born Atherstone, Warwickshire.
