Background information:
Abram^6 Van Wickle (John^5, Nicasius^4, Simon^3, Evert^2, Jentie^1 Jeppes)
was b. 27 May 1793 (Old Bridge, NJ) and died
14 June 1860. "Abraham T." Van Wickle is bur. in the South Lyons Cemetery, Lyons, NY--no stone for his wife there. He m.

(There is a listing for Margaretta D. Perrine, consort of David W. b. 19 November 1793 and d. 7 April 1824 at age 30-4-11. Her stone was found at 1 Butternut St., Lyons,
NY in the 1970s. Wonder what relation, if any, she might be to Abram's wife of the same name.)
According to Harry Macy, Lyons Presbyterian Church records show that he was received there on profession of faith on 4
October 1818 and also that he died in Lyons. As his wife outlived him by more than 30 years, she may have died elsewhere.
