Date: Sat, 19 Mar 2016 22:01:49 -0700 From: Annette Truesdell BEGIN This is what I have in my notes regarding Mary Lake Fellows, dau of James Lake Sr and Margaret Hagerman: NAME: per "A Genealogy of George Lake Sr. & his progenitors, May 21, 1880", Lake, George Vol. 3 Appendix. DEATH: 28 Aug 1863 per Fellows (4th Line) Church Cemetery Recordings Napanee Museum Archives and Lake, George Missionary Journal Vol 2 Appendix, Canada, July 11th 1871. MARR:  6 Aug 1812 Nathan Fellows per Early Church Records of Rev. John Langhorn and Rev Robert McDowall  US/Can 971.359 v2w.  Note:   Land Petition of Mary Fellows of Township of Ernestown says Mary married to Nathan Fellows and daughter of James Lake of Township of Ernestown who was U.E. Loyalist, McMillan p. 371, 436. Note: Have not been able to identify any children as yet. According to the diary of George Lake, Mary's death date was 28 Aug 1863.  If you look at the photo of her headstone found at http://geneofun.on.ca/names/photo/252575 and I am reading it correctly, along with what is noted in the 4th Line cemetery records, she was “aged 68 y. 4 m. 15 d. That would give her birth date as 13 Apr 1795.

He was in Beekman during part of the Revolution and served in Col. James Vanderburgh’s regiment, but deserted, as noted following: "DESERTED from the draughts of Col.

Isaac Bignall sold to David Williams Lot 1, east half: Crown to William Madden Senior, 100 acres, being east half, 1859. [??...Wm Madden Sr died 1846 so maybe it’s Jr. who subsequently became a Sr. after father’s death?] Before 1882, William Madden (Jr) sold the 100 acres to James Lake. [James Lake was son of James Lake and Eliz Stover but was raised by his aunt, Margaret Lake Hicks Madden.] Lot 5, west half: Crown to Elizabeth O'Neill in 1802. Elizabeth sold to William Madden in 1806, all 100 acres for £55. Lot 33, west half: Crown to Nicholas Amey, 1805. In 1811, Nicholas Amey and his wife transferred the land to John Amey. Lot 33, east half: Crown to Lewis Hicks, 1802. (Lewis Hicks was also granted lot 34.) In 1811, Lewis Hicks and his wife sold to James Ward. Lot 34: Crown to Lewis Hicks, 1802, the entire 200 acres. In 1811, Lewis Hicks and wife sold the west half to James Ward along with the east half of lot 33. However, they kept the east half of lot 34. In 1832, Jane Hix [sic] sold the 100 acres in the east half to Daniel Clark for £300, indicating that there was likely a dwelling on the property by then. Lot 35: Crown to Gilbert Storms in 1802, 200 acres. In 1811, Henry Storms severed a parcel of the land and sold it to Joseph Burley. In 1827, Gilbert Storms transferred to Jacob Storms the remaining 150 acres, described as three-quarters of the lot, to Jacob Storms for £5, likely a transaction within the family. Lot 36: The Crown divided this lot three ways. 1802, Crown to Gilbert Storms, one quarter of the lot being 50 acres in the west half. Crown to Gilbert Storms Junior 1802, one quarter of the lot, also being 50 acres in the west half. Crown to Lieutenant Henry Simmons 1802, the east half, 100 acres. Henry Simmons sold his east half to Joseph Burley in 1805. Henry Storms sold part of the west parcel to Joseph Burley in 1810. In 1830, Gilbert Storms Senior sold the remaining land in the west half to Freeman Burley. http://www.uelac.org/Kingston-Branch/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Ernestown_Map_Index.pdf In the LAKE folder of the Burleigh files, are writings of E. Ross Laughlin, M.D., dated 20 Aug 1938 from which McMillan copied for his book. Laughlin names the husband of Margaret Lake (John2, John1) as William Potter. NOTE: Nowhere in the Burleigh files does Laughlin name Margaret, dau of John Lake, the wife of James Hicks. I believe that McMillan cited her as being James Hicks’ wife in error, due to the fact that she was born in 1800 per an affidavit from Daniel Fraser dated 24 Apr 1844. (This affidavit was to help restore John Lake's name to the UEL list.) John Lake’s daughter would have been too young to have filed for a land petition in 1810 as wife of James Hicks, especially since the Margaret Lake who files in 1810 names herself as the daughter of James Lake. Based on all the relationships between the Lake, Hicks, Stover, and Amey families, and the locales where they lived in Ernestown, the following is a more correct assumption regarding the identity of Margaret Lake Hicks: John Lake/Margaret Snyder James Lake/Margaret Hagerman Margaret Lake, b. 1791, m. 1st c1810 James Hicks; m. 2nd c1818 William Madden Sr. Versus: John Lake/Margaret Snyder John Lake/Miss Vooreis Margaret Lake, b. 1800, m. c1834 William Potter [found their family group on the 1851 Addington, Canada West (Ontario), Canada census] I have not yet fixed these family groups on FamilySearch but will do so soon. Still researching sources. END from ancestry.com 5 Dec 2021 BEGIN James Lake http://jacquesancestry.com/ancestors-histories/l/james-lake-jr-history/ JAMES LAKE SR. (1760-1839) MARGARITE HEGEMAN (1756-1833) James Lake was born 6 Aug 1760 in New Jersey to John and Margaret Snyder. He was christened 17 May 1761 in the Six Mile Run Dutch Reformed Church in Franklin Park, Somerset County, New Jersey. He moved with his family in 1761 to the 5,000 acres grant given by King George III. The land was in Old Albany Co., N.Y. at what became White Creek, New York. James married Margarite Hegeman, the widow of Nathaniel Lucas and daughter of Dennis Hegeman and Aeltje Blauw. She was born 28 Mar 1756. She has three children at the time she married James, Susanna born 24 Sep, We have no further record of her, Dennis born 6 Feb 1781 and Altje born 1776. Altje died soon after her birth. James enlisted as a private on 6 Jul 1777 and served under General Burgoyne for just 93 days when he was taken prisoner of war at Saratoga on 24 Oct 1777. He remained a prisoner of war until the close of the war in 1783. When James returned home he came home to “land wars.”The family home and possessions were burned and they were left homeless and destitute. The British granted them land in Canada. During this time James and Margarite had John born a 1783 and died young, Benjamin born 1784, died young, and Jane born 1786. James Jr. was born 7 Oct 1788 all the above children born at White Creek. After James and Margaret moved to Ernestown, Canada they had Margaret born 1791, Mary born 13 Apr 1794, Sarah born abt 1797, and Elizabeth born 17 Oct 1799. When the American Revolution came James Lake, his father and brothers gave their support to the British cause and made their way to Canada at Ernestown. In Kingston 3 October 1797 “James Lake and actual settler and U.E. Loyalist, has drawn no lands and prays that lands may be assigned him for self wife and three children, viz; John, Jane and James. [See A History of Your People and Mine for all the petitions signed p. 367] James Lake died Aug 1839 at Odessa, Ontario, Canada and was buried at Fourth Line United church cemetery. He was a Methodist, a farmer and contractor-builder, at Ernest Town, Ontario. Margaret died 23 Mar 1833 at Odessa and was buried beside the Fourth Line united church Cemetery. plefler4 originally shared this to Lefler/Johnson Family Tree 9 years ago story aftruesdell aftruesdell added this to AFTruesdell-Findley/Giles 4 years ago END
