There is a discrepancy for Magdalena's YOB. Bicksler Bixler Family 1728-1968, page 85, lists 1764 as does History and Genealogy of Early Pioneer Families of Lebanon County, Page 453. The Wenger Book, page 9 lists 1761. The above mentioned Bicksler book notes a tombstone with 1764. The tombstone does say 1764 and the 4 is very faint.

Magdalena Wenger Funck, married Henry Light, (the fuller).

In his will, Henry gives his ~ 60 acres farm and fuller mill to his youngest son Joseph (1810-1862) who married Anna Wenger daughter of Martin Wengert and Maria Elizabeth Light of Bethel Twp, Lancaster Co (now Swatara Twp, Lebanon Co).
