| Marcus Lykins belongs to a New Sweden family. Join: New Sweden Project Discuss: New_Sweden |
Some family genealogists indicate that Marcus's line was Peter Lycans-25 and Hans, rather than the one indicated here. However, the following source supports the line through Anders, not Hans. The Magoffin County Historical Society's books on the Lykins family include a statement to the fact Peter of Frederick Co., VA [son of Hans] had a will showing his eldest daughter Eleanor and two surviving sons Hans and Jacob. Along with those is wife Bridget, (or Brita) who refused to the burden of executrix, leaving Jacob the sole executor of the will. The will was dated Sept. 18, 1753, and proved March 5, 1754. This disproves Marcus being a son of that Peter.
Marcus4 Lykins (Peter3, Anders2, Peter Nilsson1 Lycon) was born 1735? (or 1740 or 1744?) in Lancaster (later Berks) Co., Pennsylvania and died Nov 1813 in Montgomery Co., Virginia. He married Margaret Howe (possibly Howen or Howin) 11 Nov 1765 at Forrest Church, supposedly in New Holland, Lancaster Co, PA. Margaret died in Jun 1822 in Montgomery Co., Virginia.
Marcus is listed as "Mark Licken" in the 1767 taxpayer list for Robeson Township, Berks Co., Pennsylvania. He moved to Botetourt County, VA, between 1768 and 1772 and lived near other extended family members on the headwaters of Little River. The area later became Franklin then Floyd Co. He died at his home known as "Ben Saigos Carrdo" in Montgomery Co., Virginia.
He served in Militia Companies of Fincastle Co., Virginia, and Botetourt Co., Virginia, and was credited with patriotic service for donations to the Revolutionary War effort. Marcus was appointed on 10 Mar 1780, by the courts in Botetourt Co., Virginia, to work and maintain the road from the Pine Spur to the County Line. The road was necessary for the movement of soldiers and supplies for the fighting forces during the Revolution.
