Hello cousin. I have traced my ancestory back to John Lightsey and Barbara Riser, but no further.The lineage comes through their son Daniel. Their grandson, John W. was born in Bibb County and married Mary Urrey.They adopted my ggf, Hayes Lightsey who was a Rogers or Rodgers by birth.This took place I believe in either Bossier Parish, LA or Bodcaw, Nevada County, Arkansas where John W. & Mary both died.I would be interested in what additional information you can provide on ancestory and descendents of John Lightsey who married Barbara Riser (abt 1789).I have differing data that shows her name as both Barbara and Barbary and that she was born abt 1773 in SC. I have conflicting dates for John's birth as 1765 or 1775 and that he was born in Newberry, SC.
Anxious to hear from you.Thanks.
