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???
