   "...Anders Nilsson Lycon (Shackamaxon, 200 pounds sterling): Anders and

   his brother Hans, bachelor sons of the deceased Peter Nilsson Lycon, shared

   their father's former plantation with one of their sisters. Although their

   patronymic was properly Petersson, not Nilsson, contemporary records gave them

   the alias of "Nelson", their father's patronymic. They married soon after

   1693: Anders to Anna (parents unknown), Hans to Gertrude, daughter of John

   Classon (see #51-53). Both were soon to leave Shackamaxon: Anders went first

   to Matsunk, later to Manatawny (Amity township, Berks County) where he

   purchased land from his brother-in-law Mans Jonasson in 1721 (see #24). Hans

   went to Pennypack Creek in Dublin township where he died in 1751." Craig,

   pp35-36.

   "The last discovered reference to Anders Lycon is on 12-13 May 1733, when

   Andrew Liken and his wife Anne sold 200 acres at Manatawny, acquired in 1721

   from Mans Jonasson, to Benjamin Boone of Oley township (who had married their

   daughter Susanna). Berks County deeds, B1:68-69. Other apparent children

   included Christina, Brita (who married pastor Samuel Hesselius in 1720, Burr,

   258), Andrew (who moved west to Lykens Valley near Harrisburg (A. Howry

   Espenshade, Pennsylvania Place Names, 278), Anna, Peter, Maria and Phoebe."
