So I don't know if you got an answer to this request! So perhaps I even answered this myself in a previous letter!! At any rate, better late than never. "History and Genealogy of Early Pioneer Families of Lebanon County, PA" by Rev. J. G. Francis, edited by Betty M. Light Behr, says on a p. 502, that Peter H. Light, b. 11/14/1837, d. 4/10/1901, "was a soldier in Civil War, went west; single; bur. at Mountville." Also, on p. 647: "In the 11th Regt., P.V., organized Sep. 12, 1862, discharged Sep. 24, 1862, were: Co. A — Sam'l B. Light (likely Dr. Sam'l Bahl Light), Ezekial Light, Israel H. Light, Joseph Light, & in Co. B. was Peter H. Light." Twelve days seems like a rather short period of service, so perhaps there is an error in one of the dates. I hope this helps. Leroy Miller
