I think that is an error.

Interesting, I think, that Heckewelder's translation of 'Tahickon' is exactly the same as the translation offered by the docent at the Stone Church Museum for 'Schoharie', the creek which flows north into the Mohawk, NY Don

Linda, According to "PLACE NAMES IN BUCKS COUNTY PENNSYLVANIA" compiled by George Mac Reynolds (Doylestown, PA: Bucks Co. Historical Society, 1942), page 403: "... Tohickon Creek is the second largest stream in the county, inferior only to the Neshaminy. For many years it has been noted for its large mill dams and important grist mills. ... Tohickon is an Indian place name, changed only slightly from the Indian word To-hick-han or To-hick-hanne. Heckewelder interprets this word to mean 'the stream over which we pass by means of a bridge of drift-wood," but more recent students of the Indian tongue take exception to this definition and say it means 'deer-bone creek." On Geologial Survey maps the part of this stream from east of Quakertown to its source is marked 'Hickon' but this may be a misprint or a slip of the draughtsman's pen." According to my maps, the Tohickon Creek enters the Delaware River less than two miles north of Lumberville. MacReynolds has no separate listing for Hickon, and neither the Battle nor the Davis histories of Bucks County indexes Hickon as a Bucks County surname. I can add nothing to this from personal knowledge, but perhaps others can. By the way, I would be interested in anything you learn about pursuing records from the Neshaminy Presbyterian Church. I have close collaterals who married there .... Ruth Satterthwaite <satterth@meer.net>

OK... next question for all of you... According to the USGS Mapping site, Hickon Creek is a variant name of Tohickon Creek in Lumberville (I think that's where it is). Is there local history of the name Hickon? The Mary Emerson whose name appears in the baptismal records of Neshaminy Presbyterian Church may have married a man named William Hickon and I'm just wondering if this is an old county name. (You can see where my sleuthing is going, right?) Once again, many thanks... Linda Emerson Coordinator - Union Township, Erie County, Pennsylvania http://www.rootsweb.com/~paerie/townships/Union.htm

Hello to all... I think I have discovered an elusive ancestor who may have resided in Bucks County. Can anyone suggest how I might pursue details of the following record? 1) Emerson, Mary Description: Baptized Event: Baptism Date: 17 3 1833 Church: Records of Neshaminy Presbyterian Church, Warwick, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, 1788-1885 Many, many thanks...

Posted on: Bucks Co. Pa Query Form Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Pa/Bucks/14734 Surname: SMITH, BLAKER, BUCKMAN, WILSON, STERLING ------------------------- I am very interested in the family of Hannah Smith that you describe. I have a Samuel Smith, who was reportedly born in Washington (probably County) PA abt. 1800, give or take. However, it is quite likely that his family was in the Wrightstown area of Bucks County for many generations prior to that. It is also likely that the family moved away because of their participation in the Rev War. Samuel's wife, Amanda Sterling and her family (who helped him raise his children after his wife's death), moved directly from Bucks County to Lucas County in western Ohio, where there were many other families from Bucks. He later moved to western Ohio and was for a time in Indiana, as well.

A special favour, please: sometime when someone is at the Spruance Library would you mind taking a few minutes and see if they have records on indentures in Bucks County. I read somewhere that the government did keep track of them because they wanted to make sure that when an indenture was terminated that the freed people had been provided with the legally required clothing & tools to avoid being a drag on the neighbourhood. My ancestor George KENTNER & wife were indentured to Joseph GALLOWAY in Oct. 1764 for 2 1/2 years. I thank you in advance, Don
