  5.   Family Notes.

    Most and best documented information on Peter Lycan b Jan 2, 1699 comes from Bob Deal:
    Bob quotes from 18 Sept 1753 will and later revisions that as heirs Peter Lycan named Hance Likings and Hance Likings also some sisters.

    A revised will appears to name as heirs wife Bridget and son Jacob. There is nothing to document the possible wife Bridget as mother of his children. She could have been a 2nd marriage.
