[The Boone Society has determined Susanna’s last name was Likens/Lycon.
As proof of Susanna’s last name, we refer to a May 12-13, 1733 land transaction when Andrew Lycon and his wife Anne sold 200 acres at Manatawny, Pennsylvania, to Benjamin Boone of Oley Township, Pennsylvania (Berks County Deeds Book 1, pp. 68-69). We also cite Dr Peter Stebbins Craig, F.A.S.G., who has written the definitive work on “The 1693 Census of the Swedes on the Delaware” which was published in 1993 by Studies in Swedish American Genealogy of Winter Park, Florida.
On page 36 of this heavily documented volume, Craig proves the surname of Susanna LIKENS (also spelled LYKINS/LYCAN, etc.), the 2nd wife of Benjamin Boone, uncle of the frontiersman Daniel Boone. Susanna LIKEN Boone’s parents, Andrew LIKEN (Anders LYCON) “and his wife Anne sold 200 acres at Manatawny (now Amity Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania, acquired in 1721 from Mans Jonasson (Ander’s brother-in-law), to Benjamin Boone of Oley Township….Berks County”]

“When and where Benjamin married the second wife Susanna (surname unknown) has not been learned. It is probable that he married the second time out of the Quaker fold, possibly about 1736. At this time he was in disfavor at Gwynedd Meeting.” The minutes give this item: “February 27, 1736, Benjamin Boone has not been spoken to since last Meeting”.
