  Notes	The Barber Collection of New York newspaper extracts includes a marriage announcement from the New York Evening Post for the marriage of Nathaniel Lightbourn, “late of Bermuda” and Mary A Vose, daughter of James “of this city.” The announcement was in the March 16, 1808, edition for an event that occurred “last eve.” So, presumably the marriage occurred on March 15, 1808. In a list of British Aliens in the United States during the War of 1812, there is an entry for Nathaniel Lightbourn, age 26. He was a merchant, lived at 237 Duane Street in New York City, had been in the U.S. for 6 years, and had a wife and child. His presence in the U.S. was recorded in July of 1812. Above the entry for Nathaniel was an entry for the 59 year-old William Lightborn, a “gentleman.” William had also been in the U.S. for 6 years, had 11 people in his family, and lived at 27 Hudson Street in New York City. Another entry recorded in the “British Aliens in the United States During the War of 1812”: Early in August, 1812, a number of persons sought passports to depart from New York for the West Indies in two cartels, the sloop Sally, of 92 tons, for Bermuda, and the brig Isabella, of 135 tons for Bermuda, Antigua and St. Croix. The following are passengers and crew of the Sally: … Lightbourn, Ann, (wife of Wm.) age 54, 5ft. 5in., fair complexion, blue eyes, grey hair, born Bermuda Lightbourn, Frances, age 29, 5ft. 7in., fair complex., blue eyes, light hair, born Bermuda Lightbourn, Louisa, infant Lightbourn, Martha F, age 18 mos. Lightbourn, Mary Ann, age 23, 5ft. 5 in., fair complex., blue eyes, dark hair, born Macklesfield Lightbourn, Nancy, age 6, 3ft. 5-½ in., fair complex., blue eyes, light hair, born Turk Islands Lightbourn, Nathaniel, age 26, 5 ft. 9-½ in., fair complex., blue eyes, light hair, born Bermuda, merchant Lightbourn, William, age 59, 5ft. 10 in., fair complex., blue eyes, grey hair, born Bermuda, gentleman Lightbourn, William W., age 23, 6ft., fair complex., blue eyes, light hair, born Bermuda, gentleman. The New York Passenger Lists include a Nathaniel T Lightbourn, age 20, physician, citizen of Bermuda, arriving in New York on 4 Sep 1837 as a passenger aboard the brig Somerset. In Lightbourn research conducted by Paul Hake are these two entries: 1841, October 5: Nathaniel Trimingham Lightbourn, M.D., only son of Nathaniel Lightbourn, age about 25, a native of Bermuda, drowned at Turks Islands on May 24 (1841), between Salt and Grand Cays, on a professional trip in a decked boat, along with three boys, when a sudden storm came up and the boat capsized and sank. No traces of them has been seen since. The deceased had been married just 15 days earlier. 1841, October 5: Nathaniel Lightbourn, aged 55, father of the above, a native of Bermuda, died suddenly at Salt Key, Turks Islands, about Aug. 20 (1841) from grief at the death of his only son, leaving 2 daughters.
