Eli married Ruth E. Doughty in Clinton, Ohio on April 23, 1834. They can be found on the 1840 Census in Perry, Brown, Ohio; then the 1850 Census for Division 10, Berrien, Michigan.
Eli and Ruth had eight children:
Thomas Lightfoot
Margaret Lightfoot
Rebecca J. Lightfoot
Samantha Lightfoot
Simeon Lawrence Lightfoot- Wilson
Ananias Lightfoot
Malinda Lightfoot
Prudence Lightfoot
Isaiah Lightfoot
Ruth died about a month after giving birth to her youngest child - Isaiah Lightfoot.
Eli can be found on the 1860 Census for Wills, LaPorte, Indiana with three of his children - Samatha, Ananias and Malinda. The rest of the children were split up living in other families.
Eli remarried on March 26, 1861 in LaPorte County, Indiana to Harriett Smith (he was 45 years old and she was 18 years old). Harriett was born on February 14, 1843 in New York.
They can be found on the 1870 Census for Polk, Marshall, Indiana.
Eli and Harriett had three children together:
Edward Eli Lightfoot
Gilbert S. Lightfoot
Adeline M. Lightfoot.
It looks like Eli passed away in late 1872 or early 1873 in Indiana when Harriet was pregnant with Adeline. Then, Harriett traveled around a lot maybe for better living opportunities? Adeline was born in Missouri, then they are listed on the 1870 Census for Custer in the Dakota Territory. At some point she married a James Scott. She is listed on the 1901 British Columbia, Canada with her son, Gilbert. Then on the School District 58, Fergus, Montana Census with her son, Edward. She died on Sept. 7, 1927 in Spokane, Washington.
