Biographical Information

• All her children were (probably) born on her farm.
• Emmert F. Bittinger, Brethren Historian at Bridgewater College, Bridgewater, VA, states in a letter: "I will mention one additional bit of information regarding Jacob and Barbara Light. After joining Ephrata Cloister, this couple later became disillusioned with the Cloister and the problems of human relations there and joined the Conestoga German Baptist Brethren (Church of the Brethren today) congregation, a sister congregation to Coventry. Their names are on their baptismal records described as couples which had come over from Ephrata on April 15, 1750. Barbara was baptized, but Jacob was likely not rebaptized having been formerly a member of the Brethren. (See Brumbaugh's History of the Brethren, 1889, p. 311). In this record, the name Light is rendered Lichty, but it is surely the Light couple."
