 Hi Les,
I ran across the reference to Professor Lightle too, wonder who he was... 
Doesn't fit our early profile at all, sawyers, coopers, ranchers & farmers 
in the 1800's. My grandfather James Marsh and his sister Nettie attended 
Arko School. George H., their dad had a fairly large holding between Troy & 
Flora, place name Lightle Flats. I found the name of George's second wife in 
the 'Hazen Family in America'. After Emma L. passed away he remarried an 
Emma J. (Hull) Hazen. She died before he did and is buried in Indiana. 
George and his first are together in Flora Cemetery. Most of the original 
clan are in Washington State but they stem out of Ohio. GG Grandfather Peter 
came from there but without knowing any of his siblings names I can't begin 
to sort out the three large and unrelated groups there. Doesn't help any 
that every time a territory was opened for settlement parts of them kept on 
moving on. Wished I could establish who the homebodies were and work to the 
middle. I sure I've got some of what I need to crack this but I'm probably 
overlooking something right under my nose, I found a bit in my notes like 
that more than once.
Have you ever used World Vital Records?  I'm toying with getting a 
subscription but if they're anything like Ancestry I'll pass.
