    John Lytner (Lightener) a resident of Lancaster County on March 10, 1750-1, upon that date relinquished a power of attorney given to him by his father-in-law, Christopher Francisco.

    Members of the Lightener family are now residents of Augusta County, Virginia. The records of Orange County, Virginia, of which Augusta County was a part until 1745, show that, in 1738, Christopher Francisco, Sr., bought from Jacob Stover 3,800 acres [s/b 3,000 according to Orange County Deed Book 2] of land on the Shenandoah River, in what is now Rockingham County, Virginia, five miles below Port Republic. Two of his sons, Christopher Francisco, Jr. and Ludwick Francisco, came to Virginia and settled on their father's land.
