Valentine Surveyor Light was born in 1842...He was in the Civil War on the Confederate side..When he came back he was elected Marshall at Rolla which is a real hotbed of Republicans and there was Camp Rolla and a hospital there..The town is growing..My nephew came to San Antonio for the Mizzou game with Oklahoma. He is a Public Defender there. I asked him the population and he told me but old age has a choke hold on my brain.
Vals second wife was Mary Jane Moman. She had previously been married to William Jefferson Johnson and to Alexander Heady. Val had two children with his first wife and four with his second.. I will be glad to share my PDF file..but I do not know how to do attachments on the message board forum?
My email is jas.heady@@sbcglobal.net
Ella Heady married first a Love and secondly John Wesley Light..It amazes me what we search for is sometimes right in front of us....Ella is buried at Macedonia...What confused me was that it had (Mann) next to her name and I thought it was her maiden name...I did know her Date of Birth. Once I had that..I found it on MO SOS.Gov.
It made me a bit peeved..I do not know where in Macedonia she is buried...several of her brothers and sisters are buried there... I do not know where John Wesley is buried. Is it possible he was married previously, and is buried at that Cemetery.. I show 5 children...I remember her son Paul would ocassionally drop by the house after W W II to visit with my dad...When Aunt Ella died my father was overseas.
I will look forward to sharing information with you.
I am also looking to find a connection between Mary Bailey and Margaret Bailey..There may be none other than they both were born in the same county..Margaret was born in 1816 and Mary in 1826..Mary goes back to the Pilgrims.
I will tell it like it is..I have had a difficult time sorting out all of the Lights.... __________
