See the website (home.earthlink.net/~gilesbl/families/lightner/lightner1.html) and other postings (e.g. on GenForum Lightner and Leitner family boards) by Paul Lightner Whitehouse, et.al. for the discussion of the apparently different approach of this Palatine immigrant family, from their arrival in New York about 1710 to their eventual settlement in the northeast corner of Leacock Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.

 

Most of the data here pertains to the descendants of Adam and Magdalena’s son Johann Wilhelm, although I do not have a direct record to confirm their parentage. Much of the other data relates to what I have put together so far regarding the descendants of Johann Wilhelm’s older brother Nathaniel. As there seems to be a great deal off misinformation posted on the Net and other gen. databases regarding this family, I expect it will take some time to sort it all out.

Apparently this is the same Isaac Leas who had earlier married Mary Ann Twomey and resided in Perry County, Pennsylvania; therefore Clementina married Isaac as a widower sometime before 1873, since she is mentioned with her husband Isaac in her mother’s estate (1872).
