The name Entrikin/Entrikin/Entrikan/Entrican is not an unusual one in the area. Were your family Quakers when in the Midwest, for they were Quakers in Chester County. I find the largest group in the Kennett Monthly Meeting, with the earliest being in 1736, when Geo. married Mary Woodward. However, my Kennett MM record only covers to 1850, so it can't be of any help to you. My will CD only covers to around 1835, so that wouldn't be of any help either. Have you visited the Chester County Archives and Record online site? They have a will index that would cover any dates where Ephram might have been left something in a parents' will...so, go through the index and see if there are any that 'might' be a family will that would mention Ephram....often a marriage is 'proven' in the way it was mentioned in a will. . You might 'play around' with different combinations of Sarah Littice Carlile/Entriekin and any other children's names and surname spellings. Sometimes that works. Unfortunately, most of my records are too early to be much help, and I couldn't find an Ephram in THE HISTORY OF CHESTER COUNTY PA, by Futhey and Cope. Sandra " Am looking for marriage information for Ephram Russell Entrekin (about 1829-14 Sep 1860) and Levina Carlile (18 Feb 1827-22 May 1895). All indications are they were both born in Chester County. Pennsylvania. Both died in Hornsby, Macoupin, Illinois and are buried in the Kinder Cemetery there. Their first child, Sarah Littice Entrekin, Illinois death certificate states she was born 22 Apr 1850 in Chester County, Pennsylvania. Their second child, John Alfred Entrekin, Illinois death certificate states he was born 8 May 1853 in Pennsylvania."
