Since my earlier post, I have identified Lawrence Hickman as the man who appears in the records of Baltimore's First Reformed Church (today called First & St. Stephens). In these records, his name appears as Loren(t)z Heckman(n) etc.
The birth/baptism of Jacob, son of Lorentz and Elizabeth, has these dates: March 25/June 24 1789. A son, Johannes Heckman, was born November 15 and bapt. December 25 1785. Son Henrich was born August 15 and bapt. August 29 1794. The record also records that a funeral for Lorenz Heckmann, age about 45 years, took place on 8? Oct 1795. This would place his date of birth as ca. 1750. These same records also record the birth of George Wilhelm Heckmann, son of Wilhelm and Elisabeth Heckmann, on December 31, 1799. His connection to Lorenz/Lorentz/Lawrence is unknown. The records of Zion Lutheran church in Baltimore contain the marriage of Wilm. (presumably Wilhelm) Heckman to Eliz. Endese on 9 Mar 1796.
