George Lightcap was born January 27, 1844, the son of Levi Lightcap and Mary Smith, in Seneca County, Ohio. In 1849, Levi moved his family to Wood County, Ohio, and in June 1855, began a move to Iowa. On the way to Iowa, the family stopped to visit Mary's parent's, Christian Smith and Rebecca Firestone, in Boone County, Indiana. Christian Smith offered Levi forty acres of land. This proposition was accepted and Levi Lightcap and his family resided in a house situated about one mile northeast of North Judson, Indiana.
