I have some bits and pieces: The churchbooks at Plow Lutheran and UCC have LYKEN/LEIKEN in them. When I was in Berks Co last year, I copied a few pages looking for WEIDNER and FREES names. I believe your Sarah and Peter had roots there, and there is a tie with WICKLEINs. I will list the baptims that are on the pages I copied in the hopes they help.

(Peter's parents) Burials at Schwawtzwald Reformed: Johannes LEICKEN's daughter born 10/10/1799 on 7/18/1800. (that would be Maria LEIKEN) You can see now many ways the LIEKEN/LEIKEN/LICKEN/LYKEN name is spelled! Perhaps someone else on the list has more from Plow Churches - Since they married at First Reformed I would assume she is in Plow UCC/Reformed churchbook, which may have been a union church with the Lutherans back then. Try all spellings of her surname on the Berks HS data base of church records: http://berkshistory.org/library/churches.html<http://berkshistory.org/librar y/churches.html> Good luck... Diana in AL ----- Original Message ----- From: Ed Wevodau<mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, December 06, 2006 1:31 AM Subject: [PABERKS] Lykens and Foreman My great-great grandfather William Foreman's death certificate identifies his parents as Peter Foreman & Sarah Lykens of Berks County, PA. I have definitively traced Peter Foreman back to Robeson tp., Berks County. He was the son of Elizabeth Foreman who died intestate in 1847/1848. I find record of Sarah's death as follows: Zion Evangelical Lutheran KB, Jonestown, Lebanon County, PA: Sara Fuhrman, wife of Peter Fuhrman, died 1 May 1859, aged 49 years and 14 days. Buried "in the Hohl." Born 17 Apr 1810. Baptized and confirmed in the Lutheran church. Married 22 Apr 1832. 11 children. Below, I have compiled some information on the Lykens/Likens/Leickens family of southeastern Berks County. The data suggests that Sarah would be the son of one John Lykens; however, I have no proof. The death record suggests that she was baptized in the Lutheran church; however, I don't have ready access to Berks records post 1800. Seeking contact with anyone researching these families or anyone who might have a lead to a data that proves Sarah to be the daughter of John Lykens.
