Jan, I think we may be searching up the same tree. I have Magdadena Lidy b. abt. 1776, m. John Leiter, b. 1776. John was the son of Jacob Leiter, founder of Leitersburg, and some of John and Magdalena's children were baptized in Hagerstown. So far, she is the only Lidy in my database and I have been trying to find her ancestors. Barbara Archer
