Subject: [ORIGINAL-13] LUCKENS/LUKENS of Gwynned, Towamencin

Who were the Joseph, Mathias, and Abraham LUKENS mentioned in the will
below? I have a rough idea, but would like to hear if anyone has data to
confirm who they are, and if any of them could possibly be the father of
Margaret WIDNER, wife of George? The daughter Elizabeth mentioned in the
will below I am sure married my Christian WEBER, Jr. in 1765.

In Abstracts of Philadelphia Wills, there is one George WIDNER, Yeoman of
Gwynned, Co. of Philadelphia, Will Book N116. Will dated Mar. 8, 1764,
proved Mar. 20, 1764. It names wife Margaret, children Abraham,
Elizabeth, and Catharine. Executors are Joseph LUKENS and Jacob WENTZ, and
witnessed by Mathias and Abraham LUCKENS.
Gwynned Twp. is adjacent to Worcester (WENTZ family) and Towamencin (WEBER
family) Twps., and there are other interactions between the Wentz, Lukens,
and Weber families. Thanks, Gene in Gotha
