Seems to me that Jan Lukens would likely be buried at the old Germantown Friends Burying Ground. There is a typed manuscript titled "An Account of Burials at Friends Burying Ground Since the Beginning of the Year 1747." I have always supposed Thones Kunders, his wife, most of his children, were there along with a goodly number of the early Germantown pioneers. But I have never been able to find any record prior to 1747. Earlier chroniclers, such as Henry Clay Conrad, et al., have cited (erroneously) the Haddonfield (NJ) Friends as a burial place. We have long rejected this, but have had no other place to substitute. However, it does seem logical and I have not seen any other burial records prior to 1747. This does not answer the question as to where the senior Lukens lies, but it appears to be the most likely . It is doubtful that we will find any other record...unless Gene has it and is hiding it from Dora. Regards, Erik P. Conard--Denver

Jan Lukens was a subscriber to the Lower Burial Ground in 1737. This is from the original record book. At present, I have the book and I am hiding it. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, September 28, 2000 8:18 PM Subject: Re: [ORIGINAL-13] Jan Lukens burial--Gtn.
