Or Lightbourne. Ophelia’s middle name was Merine or Minna according to the birth registry found by Bonnie K.

As Bonnie K’s research points out, “Miss O Lightbourn”, age 16, arrived in the port of New York on June 30, 1856, aboard the Nolus. This was a small ship, carrying only 10 passengers and had sailed to New York directly from the Turk Islands. Ophelia, whose occupation was “Lady” appears to have traveled with Miss Sarah Crisson, age 22, also with occupation of “Lady.” Sarah and Ophelia were citizens of Great Britain “on a visit to U States.” Bonnie believes that Ophelia would have been met by her brother Edward who was living in New York at the time. As Bonnie points out, it also appears that the Nolus (perhaps also called the Aeollus) was owned by Tucker & Lightbourn, where the Lightbourn may be Ophelia’s brother Vose Lightbourn.

Her place of birth is shown as Ireland in the 1860 census. In the 1875 state census, she is listed as having been born in Turks Island, her father in England, and her mother in West Indies.

Her maiden name was Lighborn according to Edward’s death certificate, Lightburn according to George’s death certificate.

The 1894 Minneapolis city directory notes her death on December 12, 1893, at the age of 53, as well as her last address: 2817 Taylor.

Ophelia died from pneumonia according to Bonnie.

Based on a DNA test of one of her descendants, it’s likely that Ophelia had a grandparent, probably on her mother’s side, who was born in western sub-Saharan Africa, probably in present-day Nigeria.
