END From: lakegen at fiax.net (Maureen Lake) Date: Sat, 2 Jan 1999 13:14:43 -0800 BEGIN I hope this helps. Barnabas Lake met and married Fanny Electa Snider in Atchison County, Missouri. They were married on 31 Mar 1850. She was the daughter of John Snider and Jane Noble. He had returned to Missouri after serving with the Mormon Battalion and being part of the sick detachment that wintered at Fort Pueblo. Barnabas and Electa (as she is referred to) left Missouri that spring to rejoin the Saints in Nebraska for their trip to Utah. Electa contracted Mountain Fever and died on 9 Aug 1850, a little beyond Fort Laramie and is believed buried near Devil's Gate, Wyoming. The couple never had any children. This information comes from "History of the James Lake, Jr. Family" (1990) by Janet Franson Jeffery. If you do not have a copy of the book and would like one, you could contact Janet, our first cousin. Her address is 4521 S. 1650 W., Roy, UT 84067. We'll also be happy to provide you (or anyone else) with photocopies of the section (sections?) that interest you.

I know a descendent is Sarah Lucinda Lake 3 May 1861 born in Harrisville, Ut. Her father is Barnabus (1827) Lake from Onterio, Canada and mother is Lucy Jane Herrick (1827) from Ohio. I believe the Cherokee line comes in later but I don't know where.If anyone has a Cherokee line please send me information and maybe we could compare genealogy and see if it is the one I am looking for. END from https://www.bassettbranches.org/tng/getperson.php?personID=I13670&tree=1A BEGIN Latter-day Saint Biographical Encyclopedia Volume 3 Lake, Barnabas, a member of the Mormon Battalion, was born June 3, 1827, at Earnestown, Ontario, Canada, the son of James Lake and Philomela Smith. He removed with his parents to Kirtland, Ohio, in 1833, and later to Illinois. During the exodus of the Saints from Nauvoo in 1846 he joined the Mormon Battalion and marched with that body to California. Returning to the Missouri river he married Electa Snider, March 31, 1850; she was born at Earnestown, Ontario, Canada, Nov. 8, 1828, and died at Devils Gate en route for Utah August 9, 1850, In July, 1851, Bro. Lake married Lucy Jane Herrick, a twin sister of Hon. Lester J. Herrick. She had crossed the plains in 1850 and settled at Ogden. With his family Bro. Lake moved to Hyrum, Cache county, Utah, in 1862, but later located at Huntsville, Weber county. He also resided for a short time at Five Points, near Ogden, whence he removed in 1875 to Clifton, Idaho. Thence he moved to Fairview, Idaho, in 1881, where he resided with his family until his death, which occurred at Logan, Utah, June 18, 1893, following a surgical operation for the removal of tumor of the bowels. Bro. Lake was a Seventy, belonging to the 18th Quorum, and followed farming as his principal avocation in life. He was a man of few words, but was honest, industrious and law-abiding. He would rather suffer wrong than do wrong and was one of a class of men who do not push themselves to the front. His faith in the gospel and his love for the servants of God was unbounded. He labored faithfully for several years in the Endowment House and in the Logan Temple for the salvation of the dead. The names of his children are as follows: Electa Diana, born August 22, 1852; Mary Sarepta, born March 4, 1854; Julia Ann, born May 19, 1857; Lucy Jane, born May 22, 1859; Sarah Lucinda, born May 3, 1861; Lyman James, born June 21, 1863; Philomela, born Oct. 17, 1865, and Lawrence, born Oct. 18, 1867.
