Notes
a. Note:   NI366 E-mail from Keith A. Dull, 11 Jul 2001 and Jul 2002:
  Sometime in the 1790s, John, Daniel, and William all moved to Baltimore County, North Hundred, near the town of Ruhl, Maryland.
  The 1810 US Census says John was in Mine Run Hundred, but the census taker was not doing a good job that year. They were close to the border of North and Mine Run.
  Adam Schmidt had a farm in North Hundred as did Georg Ruhl, who appears in Mine Run in 1810. Daniel Lightfoot resided in Baltimore County, North Hundred, Maryland in about 1797 until 1800 when he moved to Codorus Township, York County, Pennsylvania. In 1807, he moved to Monaghan Township, York County, (the portion that is now Carroll Township), Pennsylvania. He appears on the Poor Lists of Monaghan Township from 1824 to 1831. He also appears on the 1828 Poor List of nearby Franklin Township presumably in an attempt to collect twice. He also lied about the ages of his children in order to continue collecting relief for them (York County provided relief for children between 4 and 12). Chaterina died in York County between 1830 and 1834. In the Fall of 1834, Daniel moved his family to Wayne County, Greene Township, Ohio. He appeared on the 1840 census there, and died before 1850.
 ----------------------------------------
  Daniel Lightfoot was an insolvent debtor in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania and was serving time for debt in the Cumberland County jail on November 4, 1822.&nbsp; He had a hearing for relief on December 10, 1822.&nbsp; It is a 6 page document that includes his signature. The handwriting on the original documents is difficult to read but to the best of my ability are translated below.

  Email from Keith Dull 27 Aug 2015:
  Daniel also appears to have served a term in the army. I found an enlistment record for him on Ancestry.com dated 1807. They shipped him off to New Orleans, but I can't tell if he served out the entire term of his enlistment.&nbsp; He wasn't noted on musters after 1807, and he was back in Pennsylvania by 1810. He must have enlisted in Northern Baltimore County, although it does not say it in the record. The man who enlisted him was Ninian Pinkney, who was stationed in northern Baltimore at the time he enlisted Daniel.
  Interestingly, Pinkney witnessed a land grant for Thomas Sparks. Thomas Sparks was the brother of the Francis Sparks I mentioned in my last e-mail. I have been continuing my research into a possible Sparks connection. I have since discovered that Francis Sparks daughter, Penelope, appears to have died young, however Thomas Sparks daughter, Penelope did not. Thomas Sparks was enumerated beside John Lightfoot in Baltimore County, Mine Run Hundred, Maryland in 1810.&nbsp; There seems to be an increasingly good chance that Perneleper/Penelope Lightfoot was illegitimate, but of course I'm still digging for more information.

b. Note:   NF63 E-mail from Keith A. Dull:
 The first three daughters, Maria, Esther, and Sophia, were baptized at the Steltz Lutheran Church which is on the York County, Codonus Township, and Baltimore County border. (NOTE - Sarah was actually their first daughter and there was Annie who was born between Esther and Sophia.)
