Biography

PETER LICHTY was born in or about the year 1760. He is purported to be a son of an unidentified Jacob Lichty as is recorded on a flash card located in Mennonite Vital Records. Research proves, however, that this Peter Lichty cannot be a son of Jacob Peter Light and his wife Elizabeth Landis of Lebanon Township, because Jacob Peter Light is very specific in naming each of his children in his will. This Peter Lichty also cannot be a son of Jacob Lichty and his wife Christina Bennett of Baltimore County, Maryland, because each of his five sons, including one named Peter, all moved to Elk Lick Township of Somerset County in western Pennsylvania as early as 1798. This Peter Lichty, however, evidently lived out his life in Lancaster County.

He passed away about 1830.
