There are definitely much more than 16. There are several lists to be found online, none of them claims to be complete.

I just found a search engine especially for Knights and Dames of the British Realm & Commonwealth. You can't specifically search for a certain nationality but using "USA" as an optional keyword gets you 76 results.
