Ancestors of Miles Bradley Light, Jr.


This page includes photos of Miles‘s:
Mother: Sarah (Light) Light
Maternal Grandmother: Sybil (Ransom) Light


Miles’s Mother: Sarah (Light) Light (1827-1920)
Sarah’s maiden name is the same as her married name because her father, Henry Light, and her husband’s father, John Light, are brothers. Consequently, she and her husband, Miles Bradley Light, Sr. are cousins and share the same paternal grandparents, Lodowick Light and Martha (Seely) Light.
