Thanks to everyone who replied to my question about the Light family and the location of Poor House Creek. I do have information about the descendants of Samuel J. Light, it's just Samuel himself that's being very elusive. All of his children list their birthplace as Patrick Co. but there is very little information about Samuel in Patrick Co records, so I'm having to piece things together. Samuel J. Light appears on Patrick tax records once, in 1816. I have found no deeds in his name, but there is one reference to his property in a deed recorded by his son, James Andrew Light. Now, I have found an obscure reference to his home on Poor House Creek written on the back of an old photo. I do not have birth or death information for Samuel, but he was most probably born in the 1790s and died 1830s or later. There is some information about him in records in Washington Co, he had two brothers who lived in Montgomery (which later became Floyd) Co. So, if anyone finds any references to this early Samuel J. Light, please let me know. Thanks for your help. Peggy Light (in Pennsylvania)
