Surnames: Langaker Longacre Lom Koch Cock
I've noticed that many places on the web list Anders parents as Peter Mansson Lom and Helena Svensdotter.
I don't know how these people are so confused that they have made Anders parents his wife Magdalena Petersdotter Koch (Cock)'s maternal uncle and his wife.
Anders parents were Peter Andersson and Gunnila _____. Peter Andersson was born circa 1620 in Sweden son of Anders Olsson;
came to New Sweden in the Fall 1639 on "Kalmar Nyckel", returned to Sweden, married and returned to New Sweden with his wife Gunnila on the "Mercurius", landing at Fort Christina ( later New Castle, New Castle Co., Del.) 13 Mar. 1656, settling in Kingsessing , New Sweden in present day S. Phil. Their only know child is Anders b. 1657 . Anders adopted the name Langaker (Longacre) by 1684; possibly based on the surname of his wife's English brother-in-law Robert Longshore
Peter died prob. 1678. His widow Gunnila remar. Henry Jones, a Welsh hatter who d. in 1683.
Check out the Swedish Colonial Society website for info on the Longacre (Langaker) family.
