This is correct. Jacob is the correct age to be their son.Jacob > is the son of Philip Light and his first wife Lydia Ulsh. Philip Light first married Lydia Ulsh. Have a mariage record for them. After she died he married a second time to Lydia Burns. This accounts for the confusion in tombstones for 2 Lydia Lights with dates that due not add up. > > > Also in the same cemetery, pp278-9 > Phoebie M. Light - no dates > Anna M.

Someone posted the following paragraph on the Perry Co. ListServ this morning: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > > Lydia Burns, wife of Philip Light - 15 Feb 1818-7 Sep1898, age 44,11, 22 > > (obvious math error here - she would have been 80 years, 6 months and 12 > > days.

I would like to correspond with anyone interested in Lydia Burns. My 3rd great grandmother was Lydia Burns b. 11/29/1827 to Henry & Lydia (Grimm) Burns. Her parents and two married brothers were residents of Juniata Co. She married about 1848 to Jacob Sulouff. They resided near Cocolamus, Juniata Co., and are reportedly buried in a New Salem cemetery. I would like to learn if there is a possible family connection. Will whoever has information on Lydia Burns please advise me at [email protected] . Nelson R. Sulouff ////////////////////////////////////////////////// ----- Original Message ----- From: "peggyt" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, June 13, 2002 8:20 AM Subject: Re: [PA-Perry] Percy Light > > > Carolyn K Shearer wrote: > > > Your Lights are buried in the same row as some of my husband's Shearer > > family in Pisgah Evngelical E.U.
