The idea of writing about my family intrigued me, tracing their history over 12 generations, and exploring how changes in religion affected the Sykes family from 1500 until today. How the changes in culture and the world around them challenged their faith. Did the times they were living in contribute in a positive or negative way to their faith, did they “walking in the way,” live a Christlike life. The challenge was interesting. The world is very different now and has changed a tremendous amount in those 500 years.
This is a snippet from Chapter 3 Victory Sikes II 1689-1749
We had supper early; it is the 12th of September 1749 in the new America as they say. We talked about one more buggy ride up to Springfield to sit on the Bench and maybe watch the sunset, before it’s very cold. I went to bed early. I just felt tired tonight. As I was falling asleep, I thought about Mary and the beginning, when it was just the two of us, how beautiful she was. I felt warm and knew that I was in the Lord’s hands. I thought if something should happen to me, I should ask the Lord to please give her peace and take care of her. I did ask, right then, “Lord bless Mary, please give her peace. Thank you for my time with her. I was so blessed to have her as my wife.” I was full of joy, not afraid. Sometime, somewhere in the quiet and long peaceful night, the Lord took my hand. I heard “well done”…. He does smile!
Mary King, Sikes, Harmon lived until May 8, 1769, and she remarried. The Lord blessed John Harmon with the rest of Mary’s life.
