General Notes: Husband - [Ancestor] Reck


The Reck family found in Adams County, Pennsylvania, in 1799, descends from the Dutch family of Reycke whose progenitor Christopher or Christian Reycke settled at an early day in New Amsterdam (New York City). The name is found as Ryck, Rycke, Reycke and Reyck. There are marriages and births under these names found in the records of the Dutch church in New York between the years 1639 and 1730. The records of Adams County, Pennsylvania, show on a tax list of the township of Germany in 1799 the names of Christian Reck, Adam Reck, a tanner, and John Reck. Christian (or Christopher) Reck was the Pennsylvania founder of the Reck family.
