NOTES
Some
History
from Gary Lycan
The Lycan family originally came
to the USA from Sweden/Denmark
about 1654 to New Sweden which is
now Philadelphia. From there
they gradually moved to Virginia,
North Carolina then Kentucky by
1800. By that time they adopted
the spelling of the name Lycan.
Other branches used the spelling
Lykin, Likin, Liken etc. By 1830 they
moved to Paris, Illinois.
My great grandfather and 2 brothers moved to
Wisconsin by 1840.
The brother of my grandfather had a son, James
Brigham Lycan,
the subject of the picture. James Brigham was born
in
Wisconsin
in 1835 and served in the civil war for the Union.
He moved
to
Weld Co. Colorado and lived there till he died in
1902.My
grandfather
moved from Wisconsin to Minnesota then in 1910 to
Canada to
homestead. James Brigham Lycan would have been his
cousin.
