The above family have a cane marked "A.E.1746," supposed to have belonged to Ann Edge Trimble,and used by her when she had a limb broken by being thrown from her horse when she was 18;but as she was born in 1748 the date should perhaps be 1766.They also have a clock which belonged to the same. ----- Original Message ----- From: RDown3657@aol.com To: smedley.george@att.net ; PA-OLD-CHESTER-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Thursday, April 06, 2006 5:34 PM Subject: Re: [PaOldC] Lightfoot George, wonder if you have any links on Mary LIGHTFOOT, b. 7 Jan 1916; d. 7 May 1883; m. Thomas Downing abt 1836. She was the daughter of Thomas and Deborah (-?-) Lightfoot; no vitals on them. Can you confirm that parentage and/or shed any light on them? (Had nine children b. between 1837 and 1851....amazingly, have found photos of six of them...plus Mary!)
