Dave Little - fandl@snet.net (Date posted: April 26, 1999) Date: Tue, 13 May 2003 10:19:45 -0700 From: "T.S. & A.F. Truesdell" Subject: Daniel Lake, Kingwood Couldn't sleep and was browsing around the net last night and found a website that corrects some misinformation I had in my database regarding the daughter of Daniel Lake of Kingwood. It is found at: http://www.russpickett.com/family/runyan.htm I had previously received some info from a Dave Little that named Daniel's daughter as 'Ann'. From the info on the website, however, this would appear to be in error and it seems that Dave has assumed that the wife of Absolom Runyon who is buried next to him was Daniel's daughter. From the Runyon data, she is not and it is Ann Johnson Runyon who is buried next to Absolom. So, the name of Daniel's daughter, whose children are named in Daniel Lake's will, is still unknown. Since she is not named in the will, and her children are, it would seem likely that she had died prior to 1775, the date Daniel's will was written. Also, delete the last three children (Jerusha, Thomas, Johnson) I have linked to Miss Lake and Absolom Runyon. They are apparently his children by Ann Johnson. END findagrave.com ...
