    While it is known that an Issac Lenker married Elizabeth Heckert (daughter of Peter Heckert) , it is unknown which Issac Lenker this was. Moreover, Floyd, Biographical and Genealogical Annals of Northumberland County (1911) [Internet version] at one point suggests that an Issac Lenker, with same birth and death dates as this one was the son of Simon Lenker and Catharine Dockey, rather of Michael and Catherine Emmerick Lenker.

    Floyd first says:

    "Michael Lenker, son of Adam (or John Adam) Lenker, married Catharine Emerick, and they were farming people in Lower Mahanoy township. She was born March 11, 1791, and died Sept. 18, 1860. They had children as follows: Abraham, Polly, Isaac (born Jan. 22, 1818, died March 27, 1881), Sarah, Catharine, Lydia, Elizabeth, and Jacob."

    Later he also says:

    "Simon Lenker, born Oct. 28, 1788, in Lower Mahanoy township, was probably of this same stock, but whether a son of John Adam or not the records do not show. He owned a farm near Hickory Corners (now owned by Samuel Latsha) and followed farming all his active life, dying April 28, 1852. His wife, Catharine (Dockey), born Dec. 17, 1789, died Dec. 10, 1871. They were Lutherans, and are buried at Stone Valley Church. They had these children: Simon, Jr., is buried at Herndon, Pa; Isaac, born Jan. 22, 1818, died March 27, 1881, lived on the homestead; George is mentioned later; Jonas owned a farm adjoining the homestead; Elizabeth died unmarried; Catharine married James Yeagly."

    It appears unlikely that there were two Issac Lenkers with exactly the same birth and death dates.
