Subject: Re: [PABERKS] Lykens/Fries
Ed, I have never found what happened to Catharine and Peter LYKENS/var.
Maybe they did leave the area.
Catharine was a KNEPPER, and born in Europe. I have her birthday as
5/5/1732, born in Solingen, Westfalen, Germany, so she is not the one shown
in Schwarzwald burials. I have not figured out who that Catharine FRIESZ
was!
I did find a William LYKENS born in Montgomery Co to a Joseph and Sara, a
Quaker, b 17 10mo 1768 at Abington Monthly Meeting.
He could be the William who m Rebecca Wicklein, dau of Adam Wicklein and
Catharine Seifrit. Adam Wicklein was from Montgomery Co before he came to
Robeson, Berks in 1780s. William and Rebecca married at Schwarzwald in
6/28/1796, and both were shown from Robeson then. His surname was mispelled
in the transcribed marriage record as Landon.
Here are children I have for them: They only had 1 son, Wm Jr. I don't
know when or where they died either. Schwarzwald shows LEICKEN as spelling
in baptisms.

Subject: [PABERKS] Fwd: Lykens and Fries families of Robeson tp.
Apologies if this is a repost. I believe that I errantly sent it to the
old
Berks listserv address three weeks ago, as it never came through my
digest.
When researching Colonial families, I favor the "slash and burn"
technique. Basically, using warrantee maps, research all the families
living on the tracts surrounding your ancestors. Move out in degrees of
two. Communities were rather small (compared to today) and most people
married others who lived in their community. The idea of slash and burn
is
that--buried in estate records or land records of neighbors--your
ancestors will turn up.
And so it is with my Lykens family. I have previously posted queries
trying to determine the parentage of William Lykens (or Liken, or
Leicken,
etc.), John Lykens, and Samuel Lykens, who began families in Robeson
tp.
in the 1795-1805 time range. However, I could not discern parentage. No
adult Lykens were in the area from 1780-1800. An earlier generation of
Lykens had moved down to Virginia.
I finally found evidence while researching the Frees family who lived
several tracts away from the 1737 Peter Leycon warrant land. A Berks
County researcher had kindly posted a transcript of estate records for
John Frees, who died in Robeson tp. in 1770. A 1774 document identifies
that his widow Catharine was now married to Peter "Liking." John Frees'
last will & testament allows his widow to reside on his plantation
until
his youngest child turns 12 (this would have been until 1781). Sure
enough, I find no Frees's in Robeson tax records in 1779, 1780, and
1781.
But there is Peter Likin/Liking (I had apparently missed this fact in
my
research long ago--a reminder to always check again to be sure). Peter
Likin/Liking is gone by 1784 and John Frees (the eldest son of John
Frees,
who was given right to the land) appears in tax records.
The circumstantial evidence appears to suggest that Peter Lykens--who
was
a freeman on the 1768 Robeson tax records--married the widow Anna
Catharina Frees circa 1772. They had at least three children: William,
John, and Samuel. It appears that Samuel may have been the youngest
child--I have what I presume to be his tombstone in Lancaster County
giving a 1784 birthdate. (He first appears in tax records in 1805.)
Question: What happened to Peter Lykens? I find no record after 1781.
It
would appear he was alive in 1784. I find no estate records. The
Schwartzwald Church records give the burial of Anna Catharina Friesz,
1734-1806. This would appear to be John Friesz's widow, but why is her
surname given as Friesz if she had married Peter Lykens?
For Fries researchers, this opens the possibility of more children
being
born to Anna Catharina (Knepper) Fries.
The 1770 John Frees estate file provides a clue that leads to a strong
likelihood, but I just need confirming evidence.
5
Incidentally, another Berks estate file--one for David Gerrard--dated
1782, identify a deceased daughter married to one Andrew Likins. It
provides a listing of all their children. This Andrew Likins had moved
to
Virginia, where he died in 1780. It is this estate file only that
provides
proof of marriage and a list of children. But no one would know unless
they had looked in the Gerrard estate file. The point is that there is
much buried information out there. I'm hoping that someday the Berks
County estate files were be made available online so that volunteer
researchers can begin abstracting these files.
Many thanks to the researchers who made the Frees and Gerrard files
available online.
A wish if anyone has access: The Berks County Historical Society has a
book of compiled tax records from 1752-1799, alphabatized by family. It
is
more thorough than records I have access to nline. If anyone could
check
the pages for Likins/Lykens/etc., I would appreciate it. Perhaps Peter
appears elsewhere.
