"...Anders Nilsson Lycon (Shackamaxon, 200 pounds sterling):
Anders and
his brother Hans, bachelor sons of the deceased Peter Nilsson
Lycon, shared
their father's former plantation with one of their sisters.
Although their
patronymic was properly Petersson, not Nilsson, contemporary
records gave them the alias of "Nelson", their father's
patronymic. They
married soon after
1693: Anders to Anna (parents unknown), Hans to Gertrude,
daughter of John
Classon (see #51-53). Both were soon to leave Shackamaxon:
Anders went first to Matsunk, later to Manatawny (Amity
township, Berks
County) where he
purchased land from his brother-in-law Mans Jonasson in 1721
(see #24). Hans went to Pennypack Creek in Dublin township
where he died
in 1751." Craig, pp35-36.
"The last discovered reference to Anders Lycon is on 12-13 May
1733, when
Andrew Liken and his wife Anne sold 200 acres at Manatawny,
acquired in 1721 from Mans Jonasson, to Benjamin Boone of Oley
township
(who had married their daughter Susanna). Berks County deeds,
B1:68-69. Other apparent children included Christina, Brita
(who married
pastor Samuel Hesselius in 1720, Burr, 258), Andrew (who moved
west to Lykens Valley near Harrisburg (A. Howry Espenshade,
Pennsylvania Place Names, 278), Anna, Peter, Maria and Phoebe."
