Notes
a. Note:   NI187 Because of the erroneous obituary information which stated Jacob Arnsberger was the father of Susannah, many researchers incorrectly list him as her father. However, Susannah's name was listed as one of the daughters on her father's probate letter in Williams County, Ohio on 5 Jan 1880. Williams County, Ohio Probate #2182 for Daniel Arnsberger lists daughter Susannah and son-in-law Daniel Lightfoot residing at Sedgewick County, Kansas. (Note: the city of Mulvane, Kansas straddles both Sedgwick and Sumner counties).

b. Note:   NF87 Name: Daniel Lightfoot
 Event Type: Marriage
 Event Date: 01 Mar 1838
 Event Place: Wayne, Ohio, United States
 Spouse's Name: Susanna Ansberger
  Citing this Record
 "Ohio, County Marriages, 1789-2013," database with images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XZDJ-S1Q : 10 February 2018), Daniel Lightfoot and Susanna Ansberger, 01 Mar 1838; citing Marriage, Wayne, Ohio, United States, 137, Franklin County Genealogical & Historical Society, Columbus; FHL microfilm.
 --------------------------------------------
  Susannah and Daniel had a total of 11 children:
 7 sons: Jacob (died young), Addam (died young), William, Luke, Lester, Frank, and Daniel, Jr.
 4 daughters: Elizabeth, Eunice, Susannah Ida, and Mary Alice.
  The deaths of Jacob and Addam are inferred in that their names are missing from the 1850 US Census record plus Susannah's obituary which states that she moved from Wayne County, Ohio to Cedar County, Iowa with 5 children. According to all of the birth dates, she already had given birth to 7 children by the time that she moved to Iowa.
 ----------------------------------------
  1844: Wayne County Ohio Recorder's Office shows a land transfer deed recorded in 1844 from Daniel and Susannah Lightfoot to Levi Grabbill, Deed Vol. 26, Page. 451.
 ----------------------------------------
  Susannah's obituary in the Mulvane, Kansas newspaper states that they first lived in Wayne County, Ohio until 1854 when they moved to Williams County, Ohio. In 1856 they moved once again by wagon to Cedar County, Iowa. In 1879, they moved once again to a farm near Mulvane, Kansas.
  Her obituary first says she first moved with 5 children and later added 1 more son and 2 daughters for a total of 8 children. The obituary goes on to state that she is mourned by 5 sons and 4 daughters which totals 9 children. It is unclear why the obituary says that they added only 1 more son when records indicate that 2 more sons were added. Frank was born in Ohio in 1856, and Daniel Jr. was born in 1858. Both Frank and Daniel Jr. show on the 1860 Census of Iowa Township in Cedar County, Iowa, page 145. However, by the time Susannah died in 1904, it may be that Frank had already died, thus explaining why there appears to be no other mention of him in any other documents thus found to date.
  The last two additional daughters must be Mary Alice and Susannah Ida because the obituary for Elizabeth Lightfoot Burnett indicates that Mrs. Mollie Farnsworth (which would have been Elizabeth's sister) and her husband of Arkansas City attended the services. The obituary for Elizabeth Lightfoot- Burnett also identified two sisters as "Mrs. Ida Williams and Mrs. Mollie Farnsworth." The obituary for Susannah Arnsberger-Lightfoot does not specifically list the name of Mollie but talks only about the total number of daughters attending the service.
  The obituary for Susannah Arnsberger-Lightfoot goes on to state that she died in the home of her "son-in-law", S. G. Farnsworth in Arkansas City where she was cared for by an affectionate daughter. This "affectionate daughter" must therefore be "Mary Alice 'Mollie' Lightfoot-Farnsworth". And therefore the other visiting sister described above must be "Mrs. Ida Lightfoot-Williams".

  1840 US Census
 Page 152B, Roll 432
 Green Township, Wayne County, Ohio
 Males
 &nbsp; 15 to 20: 1 = (unknown, possibly a brother of Daniel Jr.; possibly William Arnsberger)
 &nbsp; 20 to 30: 2 = (probably Daniel Jr. and possibly John Lightfoot)
 &nbsp; 60 to 70: 1 = (probably Daniel Sr.)
 Females
 &nbsp; 15 to 20: 1 = (probably Susannah Arnsberger, wife of Daniel Jr.)
 5 total in household
  The first question to ask is who was named as the Head of the Household. The census record shows "Daniel Lightfoot" but that does not tell us which one of the Daniels that it was. There was the Daniel born in 1768 and the Daniel born in 1811 and they were probably living together at the time of this census. The elderly Daniel was widowed and the younger Daniel was married but with no children at the time. My best guess is that the elderly Daniel was the Head of the Household which means not only was the married Daniel living there with his wife but also some of the unmarried children of the elderly Daniel were also there.
  The elderly Daniel&nbsp; one for certain was the listing of the name as Daniel Lightfoot who would have been the oldest male but even then his age was 72 and should have been listed in the next older age group "70 to 79" instead of the group "60 to 69".
  The one young female could have been any one of three that fit that age group: Catharine, the wife of Daniel Jr (age about 20), Charlotte (age about 16), and Martha (age about 15). Obviously only one was still at home while the other two were living elsewhere. Another daughter, Sophia, was about 37 years old and did not marry until later that year in 1840. She may have been indentured out or living as a servant with another family therefore is not shown with the family.
  However, my feelings are that within this household were Daniel Jr. and his new wife, Susanna Arnsberger who would have been the one and only female. Together the young Daniel and his wife were living with and caring for the elderly Daniel. This is supported by the fact that Susannah was most likely not present with her family according to the 1840 census for her father's household because it shows no females present in Susannah's age category which means she was living elsewhere.
  If the elderly male were Daniel, and two of the others were Daniels Jr and his wife, then that would account for 3 of the 5 persons in the household leaving only 2 other males, no doubt brothers of Daniel Jr.
  The other male 20 to 29 would have been either John (age 25) or Samuel (age 23). Samuel was probably living with his master as he was indentured out to become a wagon maker so the other male was probably John.
  I'm not aware of any young Lightfoot males that fit the 15 to 19 age group; William was the youngest but he was born in 1819 thus making his age about 21 so unless this is a previously unknown brother, I am unable to determine who the young male could have been.
  My determinations:
 1 - Male 15 to19-------possibly William Arnsberger
 2 - Male 20 to 29------John and Daniel Jr
 1 - Male 60 to 69------Daniel Sr (should have been in the over 70 age group)
 1 - Female 15 to 19---Susanna Arnsberger, wife of Daniel Jr.
