On Ancestry, I'm in a family circle for William Lake and MJ Rounsavelle.  The 22 members include members of the David Waltz family group and the Joseph Fields family group as well as about five others. My records reflect that Wm and MJ moved to Indiana with four children, all born in NJ.  They settled on a farm in the Everton neighborhood of Jackson township where they remained until death.  They would have four more children in Indiana. Catherine was number six overall.  She was born when Wm was 30 and MJ was 31.  MJ died in 1836 and William married two more times and had one more child. In 1837, Catherine married Daniel Clifton, whose family had also moved from NJ.  They had seven or eight children, one of which was my William, my 2nd great grandfather.  Another of their children, Benjamin, died while serving in the Civil War. William was the father of Nellie Clifton who married a William Bell. Their daughter Maude married Oscar Bailey, who was the third of twenty children.  Oscar came to Indiana from Winston Salem NC.  I have linked his ancestry back to Jamestown.  He met and married Maude in Rush County, IN.  My father, Gene, who recently passed, would have been 95 years old yesterday.  Both my father and I retired from the CPA profession.

I found in 1810 William Lake to Malcolm Fleming (his brother-in-law, I know now), Bk 17, p.137; 1813 William Lake to Jacob Rake, Bk 22, p.82; 1816 William Lake to Henry M. Kline, Bk 25, p.302; 1816 William Lake to William Bishop, Bk 25, p.303; and 1816 William Lake to George Holcombe, Bk 26, p.280. I've ordered microfilm of these deed books, and Grantee Index. I'm hoping to find some indication of relationships, possibly to his father from Deeds when William Lake purchased or inherited these parcels of land. Just thought I actually had some crumbs to share. Date: Fri, 17 Nov 2000 16:28:38 -0500 I will know the townships when the Deed Book microfilms arrive, as the original deeds will list the townships in the description. Though the first one, sold to Malcolm Fleming is in Alexandria Township, Hunterdon Co, NJ.

And the initial deed citation from Brian Rounsavell which have helped me solve this challenge of William Lake's parents. I have searched for years for his parents.
