Lambert, Flanagan, Blue, Lease, Hollenbacks connected?

Can anyone tell me how these families are connected? I know this much, but still can't tie my data together:

1. John Flanagan m 1)Eleanor Rees 2)Julia Ann Blue. I show 1 daughter Eliza from his first marriage & 7 children from his second. One old history says his first wife was Julia Ann Hollenback, but the marriage record I found lists her name as Blue.

2. Keziah Blue m 1)John Lambert 2)Isaac Hollenback. I don't know if she had Lambert children. Isaac had children by his first wife, Susannah Johnson, but none with Keziah.

3. I have a deed from John B. Lease, wife Susan who migrated to Green Co., WI, dated 1854 selling their interest in the estate of John Lambert, deceased to John Flanagan. It states that they have legal standing based on the Will of John Lambert.

Was Susan a Lambert? Why would they sell to John Flanagan? Were Keziah & Julia Ann sisters? Who are the parents of John B. Lease? I show John Lambert d 1849, buried in Greenwall cemetery.

4. I have two other deeds from Isaac Hollenback & Kesiah, his wife, to Samuel Flanagan, William Flanagan, John Robert Flanagan, George Taylor Flanagan, & Mary Bell Flanagan, children of John Flanagan, and any other children said John Flanagan may have by his present wife for the consideration of natural affection they have for said children and $1.00. for all the lands of John Lambert, deceased.

There is a second deed with all the same people conveying livestock. These deeds are dated December 1858. They are explicit that only those named, or their heirs, are included, and no other persons whatsoever.

My list of children for John Flanagan has two additional children not listed, Keziah V. and Sarah.

Does anyone have the will of John Lambert? If John & Keziah had children, why would she leave out her children? Assuming that Keziah & Julia Ann were sisters, the Flanagan children would be her nieces & nephews.

I'd appreciate any information anyone has to offer on any of these families that might bring some clarity to these families' relationships.
