  Father	William LIGHT,   b. Est 1680,   d. Nov 1745, Sheepstor, Devon, England  (Age ~ 65 years)
  Mother	Mary BARTER,   b. Abt 1689, Walkhampton, Devon, England ,   d. Yes, date unknown
  Married	28 Oct 1707	St. Leonard’s Church, Sheepstor, Devon, England
  	From PR image (viewed 21 Aug 2012): Under 1707 Marriages - "William Light and Mary Barter were married Octr. 28th" A Wm Light and a Richard Light appear and marry in Buckland Monachorum in 1743 and 1744 - 2 of the sons of Wm and Mary? - it would seem quite likely. (There were quite a few Leighes in Buckland in the C17th but a gap of a few years - it may be that Williams family were from Buckland Monachorum a generation of 2 back)

  Family	Joan TOOP,   bap. 23 Mar 1706/07, St. Leonard’s Church, Sheepstor, Devon, England ,   d. Yes, date unknown
  Married	25 May 1736	St. Mary the Virgin Church, Bickleigh, nr Plymth, Devon, England
  	"William Light marr Joan Toop of Shitstor" - due to the link with Sheeepstor it seems probable it was either this William, or that his father had been widowed and was remarrying. Baptism of Joan doesn't help much - could still have been either. But it seems more likely it was this younger William.
