I've seen her shown as Eleanor with Ellen and Ellender in parenthesis. I think that Ellender is another version of Eleanor, not a last name. I am not researching the Lights - just working on the original settlers in the 1860 Maries Census. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Monday, August 24, 2009 5:29 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [MOMARIES] Ellen Ellender Light This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.

Is anyone familiar with Ellen Ellender Light, who married her first cousin, John Light, and lived in Maries or Phelps County, Mo. They are the parents of my gr.gr.father Flower Light. I'm trying to find out if Wm. Light and Patience Dillingham were her parents, and if so, why does she go by Ellender rather than Light???
