Magdalena Burkholder - Lebanon PA
I am looking for info. on Magdalena Burkholder (born ca 1808), who married Jacob Light (1806 - 1872).They were in Lebanon County, PA.Up through 1860 census, I find them in South Lebanon Twp., then they apparently removed to Cornwall Twp (assuming Twps didn't shift in there).
Jacob and Magdalena (Burkholder) Light had the following children:
Felix (b. 1831)
Jacob (b. 1833)
Aaron (b. 1835)
Lydia (b. 1837; md. 1st William Smith, 2nd Joseph Hoffert 1871)
Barbara (b. 1840; md. Jacob H. Hershey 1862)
Maria (b. 1842)
Catherine (b. 1843)
Adam(b. 1845)
John (b. 1848)
Aaron (? - first must have died; b. 1850)
Jacob Light has been placed into the descendants of Johannes Light of Lebanon.I am fairly comfortable with the sources.
Magdalena is remaining mysterterious.
The Burkholder Family Association site shows two possibilities:
1.Magdalena Burkholder, born ca 1808, to Christian (son of Ulrich) and Anna (Burkholder).I'm confused by this entire family entry, though.First, the father had been deceased since 1806.Second, the mother would have been in her 70s when she had the last couple of children.I don't know what to make of it.
2.unk. daughter of Felix Burkholder, who married a Jacob Light.Unk. daughter's date approximated to 1813, based on sibling.
All in all, I'm stumped.I've found a gedcom that lists Magdalena, born 1808, married to Jacob.It's clearly my line, but has no sources (sigh.......).She has no parents in this file.
Sorry to run on.Wanted to give as much info as I had (which isn't much, is it?).Thanks very much for any help.
