I noticed Bob Bensing's post on the Kreider line. Bob and others: I am trying to find the origins of what may only be family tradition that our assumed, and prolific, Lebanon Light family immigrant (1738) Johannes Licht/Light married a Maria Kreider ca late 1720s in Germany. I know a Kreider farm (perhaps John or John Jacob?) was very nearby the original Light properties in Lebanon, but aside from that specific reference I cannot find any reliable sources. This connection is made in several family genealogies BUT NOT in the generally accepted J.G. Francis' "History and Genealogy of Pioneer Families of Lebanon, PA". We can live with it as family tradition if we know that is what it is, but we want to trace its origins and sourcing if possible - do you have this Kreider-Light connection or others near that time in your histories, and any leads on documentation to bear it out? Thanks, John Light Monterey, CA
