I was researching California Gold Light who married Herman Adkins.Of course this lead me to Grace Woodrum to Lorenzo Light and J. F. Shilling ... and now here.
The web site http://www.cemetery.state.tx.us/pub/user_form.asp?step=1&pers_id=160http://www.cemetery.state.tx.us/pub/user_form.asp?step=1&pers_id=160 uses research from Neil Shilling and states ... Grace Greenwood Woodrum Shilling married James Light and had child named California Gold Light ... shouldn't that be Lorenzo Michael Light?
Interesting family here ... like why did J. F. go to Texas when he got ill?
And interesting that Grace's parents were from Pittsylvania Co. then to Botetourt then to Cave Spring ...
Then there is Lorenzo ... he is born in VA, moves to Tenn and on to Missouri but serves the Union in West VA during the recent unpleasantness ...
Not to mention a son of Herman and Gold who goes to NY at 15 and works with Orson Wells and the Mercury Theater ...
