Carl,
I ran across a Perry & Eva Sycks on the 1850 federal census. They were living in Pike Twp, Perry Cty, OH. Perry was born about 1818 in Ohio and Eva A. was born about 1824 in Ohio.
I also ran across two land records for a Perry Sycks in Jackson Cty, Ohio. [1] 83.37 acres purchased 8-1-1844 in Twp 9N, Range 17W, Sec 36 [2] 41.68 acres purchased 7-1-1845 in same Twp, Range & Sec.
To date I have not been able to determine if they are related to George & Elizabeth.

"Henry Sycks ... was a native of Virginia, but while quite young removed with his father to Greene County, Pa., and settled on the waters of Dunkard Creek, in Monongahela township. They were among the pioneers that first permanently located west of the Monongahela River. Young Henry participated in the Indian wars of the period, and endured the privations and hardships incident to border life. He was united in matrimony with Barbary Selser, a daughter of a contemporary settler, and ten children were the fruits of their marriage.. "

Sorry Carl,
Just got your second e-mail. Regarding the father of James Howard Sycks. My records show his parents as James Howard and either Myrtle Flora or Flora Myrtle Griffin (I'm not sure which order). They were married May 27, 1874 in Hocking County.

Re: Sycks-Athens Ohio

2005-06-03 14:21:28Z

Carl,
Great to hear back from you. I am the middle daughter of Ronald Cramblett. I remember your father, Bob. When I was little my younger sister, Sara, and I loved to go the bakery on Saturdays and watch Howard make the rolls and bread. Good memories. My husband and I still live in Coshocton. Get back to me and we can swap Sycks stories!

Re: Sycks-Athens Ohio

2005-06-03 04:15:39Z

If your grandmother was Myrtle, then you must be the grandaughter of either Ronald or Patricia Cramblet. My father's name was Robert and he worked at Sycks Bros all his life with Howard, Fern and Carl. Where are you now living? I'm in Carlsbad, CA. My sister, Carolyn, and my mother, Helen, both live nearby in San Juan Capistrano. Would love to hear from you.

Re: Sycks-Athens Ohio

2005-06-03 04:12:05Z

I think that's my line. My grandfather was James Howard Sycks and my grandmother was Nellie Hall Sycks. James Howard was from Athens and I think he had a brother Edward.

I'm trying to find who was James Howard Sycks' father. Any information on that?

Thanks so much for the note.

Sincerely,

Carl K. Sycks

Hi Carl,
My grandma was Myrtle Sycks. Her parents were James Howard and Eleanor (Nellie) Hall Sycks. Two of James Howard's brothers--Earl and Edward--are listed as living in Athens. Is this your line? smarkel@saferinternet.com

Re: Sycks

2005-04-25 17:52:20Z

I don't have all of my information with me, but I'll bring it to work in the next few days. On Charles and Mary Ann Sycks side, I believe there were 6 children, 5 living and one who died in infancy. They were as follows: Ethel, Effie (my grandmother), Dorothy, Murray, and Chester, all are buried except for Dorothy in New Lexington Cemetery, Perry County, OH. Dorothy is buried in a cemetery in Newark, Licking County, OH.
Where are you located? I'm currently living in Delaware, OH and I work at Ohio State University. My email should work.

Re: Sycks

2005-04-23 03:26:28Z

I tried contacting you at your Email address, but couldn't manage to get through. If you want, you can contact me directly.

On Jacob Israel Sycks and Emaline South, I've found 8 children. I have info on some of them, but loads of missing data. On your Charles Wesley, I found 4 children - is that correct?

Your line does descend from the "Six's". John Conrad Six was born in NY bet 1727-1730, his father immigrated from Prussia.

I also descend down this line - but through a different son of John Conrad.

Re: Sycks

2005-04-22 17:08:38Z

Most definitely interested in sharing. He would have been my great-great grandfather on my dad's side of the family. His son Charles Wesley Sycks was father to my grandmother Effie Florence Sycks. I could never find out where they came from. My dad thought maybe from the Netherlands but was not really clear on that aspect. I've run into the name Six before. I do know that they came from Greene County, PA and settled in Perry County, OH. I found the graves of my great grandparents Charles and Mary Sycks. All I found was that Israel died in Perry County in 1898 or so. Have not found where he is buried, which must be on private land.

Re: Sycks

GSwoik — 2005-04-22 16:23:16Z

You may have found this info already, but just in case....

In my researching, "Israel" Sycks was acutally born Jacob Israel Sykes s/o Daniel Sykes and Nancy Roberts. This family descends down the line from John Conrad Six.

The "Six" was often changed - variations including Sicks, Sic, Syx, Sykes, Sycks, Sycs.

This "Six" family immigrated from Germany.

I have some info on Jacob Israel Sycks and family, but loads of missing blanks. If you are interested in sharing, please let me know.

Re: Sycks Surname

David Sykes' parents were: Henry Sykes born 2/12/1757 and Barbara Selsor. Henry was born in Greene Co, PA . HIS father was John Conrad Sykes born in Chester Co, PA.

Salem Township is in Monroe County, Ohio and there is a Sykes Ridge and a Sykes Ridge Cemetery there as well as a Sykes Ridge Christian Church. At least there used to be.

I am going there next summer to do physical research on records that are unavailable any way else, and to take pictures of the cemetery.

Suzanne, I got your message, I believe my great-great grandparents were also from Greene County, PA. His name was Israel Sycks married to Emaline South, David and Israel could be brothers. Do you know David's parents name. What county is Salem Township in Ohio. Israel and family settled in Perry County. Have you come across any information about where the Sycks originated from. My dad was under the impression they were from Holland but unable to verify where they came from besides Pennsylvania.

Re: Sycks Surname

2003-07-26 16:20:49Z

I am a descendant of Sycks also. I come from Hannah Sycks and James Adams. Hannah was born in Greene, PA and moved to Salem Township OHIO prior to 1830s. Her parents were David Sycks (Six) and Ruth Gapen. James Adams was born in VA and his parents were from Ireland.
Contact me if you want to compare notes.

Re: Sycks surname

Hello all. I am a Sycks from Coshocton Ohio and am looking for information about my family. I am the youngest grandchild of Howard and Blach Sycks. I do not know to much about our heritage, but am very interesed in learning as much as I can. Feel free to email with any questions or information you may have.

Sych - variation on the name?

2002-09-23 08:07:35Z

I am searching for Sych family members, and I am wondering if these 2 names are variations of each other? The family I am seraching for were originally from Poland, and most of the family remains there, but I am guessing there are others who emigrated. I know that many foreign surnames became anglicized upon arrival to the "new world". I would love to hear your thoughts & share ideas....

Sycks

2001-04-04 17:45:06Z

Carl, We are indeed related. Your grandfather James was brother-in-law to my g-g-grandmother Florence Mary Hall Sycks. There were two sisters who married two half-brothers. Have you been to the cemetaries in Coshocton yet? I am anxious to find South Lawn -- which your grandfather was buried in. If you could help me narrow down my search I would appreciate it. Write back quickly for I am very excited about finding a "lost" relative. Cindy

Sycks

2001-03-23 21:29:42Z

Hello to all! My grandmother is a Syck. Carl I maybe related to you as she is from Athens area also. And so far most of the ones I have turned up have been cousins of sorts. My original Sycks came from the Yorkshire area of England in the 1850 - 1860's. Feel free to email me back with any response.

Sycks

Valerie Alicie — 2001-06-29 16:57:17Z

I have information regarding Sycks. We may be related. Finding the Sycks family came from Greene County, PA.
My grandmother was a Sycks. Parents were Charles Wesley Sycks and Mary Ann McDonald. Can be contacted by email.

Sycks Surname

Valerie Alicie — 2001-06-29 16:57:17Z

Haven't found any information as to our origins of the Sycks Surname, I believe you and Cindy and myself may be related cousins of some sorts. I've
traced the family back to Greene County Pennsylvania. My grandmother Effie Sycks Park grew up in New Lexington, Ohio. I believe that her father was one of
about 10 children. There is a relative in the Barberton Ohio area also, I don't know if he is still alive. But I had contact with them several years ago.
My great grandfather was Charles Wesley Sycks, father was Israel Sycks. My dad always thought the name was Dutch, but I have no clue where he got that
information from. Have there been any Sycks reunions? If so, let me know when it is. If not maybe we should start one.

Sycks

Valerie Alicie — 2001-06-29 16:57:17Z

I'm also researching the Sycks name. My grandmother, Effie Sycks Park, her father was Charles Wesley Sycks, and his father was Israel Sycks. I've
have information that the family came from Greene County, PA. We may possibly by cousins. Its hard to know where we came from originally, because the
name could have been spelled differently. My dad thought it was Dutch but I don't have any clue if that is correct. I know the family came from PA
to Hocking and Perry Counties. I've even found a relative from Delaware OH, which is where I live. I did go to Ohio University in Athens. Is there a
Sycks family reunion, if so, when is it. If not, maybe we should start one. Most of the grandparents and great parents are deceased. But I found information
in Greene County that puts the family into the 1700's. There was at one time a Sycks family cemetery in Greene County, PA, but it is no longer in
existence. You can contact me at the above email address or contact me by mail.

Re: Sycks

CarlSycks — 2004-06-26 18:02:15Z

Hi Cindy. Just a note to let you know I'm still looking for the country of origin of the Sycks name. I'll keep you posted on my progress. Hope you're having a little luck from your end.

Re: Sycks-Athens Ohio

CarlSycks — 2004-06-26 17:58:35Z

Hi KLori. I'm also a Sycks whose origins go back to Athens, Ohio. I'm also on the same search as you. I'll keep you posted on what I find.

Re: Sych - variation on the name?

CarlSycks — 2004-06-17 01:34:15Z

Hi Jennifer. I don't know if Sych isa derivation of the name Sycks or vice versa. However, it sure seems to be possible. I'm trying to get the same information you seem to be seeking so if you find anything please let me know. I'll do the same. Good luck.

Re: Sycks surname

sdiaz6 — 2003-09-27 21:25:46Z

It is my understanding that the surname Sycks came from the surname SIX and is originally from Germany. I am a descendant of David Sycks (Six) and Ruth Gapen's daughter Hannah Sycks who married James Adams.

There is a place called Sycks Ridge in Ohio, and Sycks cemetery in the same location. It was the old homestead of David Sycks and his father Henry.

They are next found in Marshall co., WV on the census of 1860, in the Cameron, Beeler Station- Rock Lick area. These are my GGGrandparents and also my "brickwall".

Country of Origin

carlks — 2003-06-26 17:24:32Z

My interest in in finding the country of origin of the Sycks name and to determine the religin of the family in that country. My roots go back to the Sycks family in the Athens, Ohio area. Really appreciate any help I can get. Thanks.

Sycks surname

carlks — 2003-06-26 17:24:32Z

Hi Valerie. Thanks for the information you sent. Regarding your family reasearch, do you have anything indicating from which European country the Sycks family emigrated? Thanks.

Re: Sycks surname

carlks — 2003-06-26 17:24:32Z

Hi Lori. Howard was my uncle, brother of my father Robert E. Sycks. My goal is to find the country of origin of the Sycks name. So far, although I haven't been able to track specific ancesters, I have found the name Sycks going back to England and Germany. My best guess is that the Sycks name is German, but that's still to be determined. Best wishes.

Carl K. Sycks

Response to Valerie

carlks — 2003-06-26 17:24:32Z

Sorry for the long delay in responding, but I just figured out how to send e-mail via this this medium. As I indicated in my note to Cindi, my family came from Athens, Ohio and I'm wondering from which European country they emigrated.

Cindi has information that family may have originated from England in the 1850's. I have some other vague informtion that the Sycks name is German, but no tracing of my direct family to either England or Germany.

Reply to Cindy

carlks — 2003-06-26 17:24:32Z

Thanks for the information Cindy. My family is from Athen's Ohio so, as you indicated, we may be related. My grandfather's name was James and he moved to Coshocton, Ohio where I was born. His sons, Howard, Carl and Robert, my father, ran Sycks Brothers Restaurant and Bakery for many years before their death. Appreciate your informtion.

Cindi

carlks — 2003-06-26 17:24:32Z

We sure are related. My grandfather, James, married the sister of Florence, whose name was Nellie. She was quite a woman. They both lived in Coshocton, Ohio, where I was born, and my mother has told me about my grandmother and grandfather taking trips to Athens to visit Florence and her family.

Both James and Nellie are buried in South Lawn cemetary in Coshocton,Ohio and there are still a few Sycks family members who live there, although I no longer see much of them.

Hope this helps.

Response to Cindy

carlks — 2003-06-26 17:24:32Z

Cindy, sorry I spelled your name incorrectly; I think I have it now. By the way, I have a niece named Cindy who lives with her father and mother in Pickerington, Ohio. His name is Robert C Sycks.

Valerie

carlks — 2003-06-26 17:24:32Z

I hope you logged on to the note I sent to Cindy. It's interesting you went to Ohio University. On my mother's side of the family, my great, great aunt was the first woman to graduate from O.U. Her name was Boyd and there's a Boyd Hall named after her. Several other family members also graduated from O.U. also. Being a Miami of Ohio grad, I always felt a little sorry for those who went astray and ended up bein Bobcats, but, all and all, it's a good university.

There are still some Sycks family members in Coshocton, Ohio and my brother, Robert C. Sycks, lives in Pickerington, Ohio. I don't think there are many family reunions, but I haven't lived in Coshocton since I was about 17 years old, so I don't really know.

I'll keep you updated if I get any further information.

P.S. My father and all his brothers were all assumed to be Jewish but, to their knowledge, weren't. Seeing one of your family members was named Israel, I wonder if you know if there was any Jewish heritage.
