Nathaniel Lightner

Nathaniel Lightner may have been the Nathaniel Lightner born in Adams County about 1824 and later buried in Evergreen Cemetery. The 1860 census listed him in Cumberland Township as a 36-year-old cooper, born in Pennsylvania, with Catharine Lightner and several children in the same household. Derivative sources associate a Nathaniel Lightner with wife Catharine Musser Lightner and later work as a cooper or farmer.
