Research Notes

Marsha Strand's line. "Debbie Thomason in Florida whose father is still alive. They have what is left of the hump back trunk owned by Hattie Francis Light. I believe this is where the page showing the family of my grandparents written by William Wallace Light or Katherine Light wrote showing Jacob Light was born in 1756 and his children. I have a hand written copy of the genealogy that has a mistake on it regarding marriage of Daniel and Susanna. I am sure this was a copy of a document that Hattie wrote and copied by Winifred Harmon, granddaughter of Hattie Light and Francis Wooten. Winifred is the sister of Mason Eugene Harmon, whose daughter Debbie has the remains of the chest."

Ancestry.com shows two marriage dates for Mason Eugene Harmon, 1955 in Flagler County and Jun 1958 in Volusia County. He was divorced from Donna C Harmon in 1955 in Volusia County.

Submitter of photo at Deadfred.com says her name was Harriet Frances Light; my records said she was Hattie Frances.
