Well now with the addition of the Barbour collection to ancestry.com it has opened a can of worms in the Lake family tree.
John Lake B. Dec 19 1724 Newtown, CT
D. Nov 23 1778 Kent, CT
page 100 of Kent CT biths there is a John Lake who married Abigail Hoith (Hoyt).Jan 26, 1761 by Timothy Hatch, J.P.
They had 7 children:
James J.
Mary
Marcy
Abigail
John
Clark
Ebenezer Hoyt
Death date for John Lake is as above Nov 23 1778 Kent Ct
On pate 122 of Barbour Collections
We have John Lake son of John Lake and Abigail Kimberley
B.Dec 19 1724 (same as above)
BUT also on that page we have this John married to a Rhoda Warner Jan 10 1753
They had 7 children:
Eunice
Phedima
Gilead
Hulda
Lucy
Warner
Rhoda
So now...we have John Lake 2 different wives and different children
With the same birth and death dates and the same parents.
Has everyone confused these 2 Johns and added them together not realizing it???
And if so, who were John Lake of Kent, CT parents and where did he come from????
If anyone can help me figure this one out I would sure appreciate it!!!!!
Thank you
Jennifer (Lake) Longstreet
