From: "Mary Jo C. Martin" Date: Fri, 21 Mar 2003 14:37:19 +1100 BEGIN Alas, the only LAKE that I have is Dinah LAKE, who married Henry TRIMMER (b. 1768), son of Johannes TRIMMER and Susannah SERVIS of Amwell Twp. I don't have any more information on Dinah. The TRIMMERs are my ancestors, not the LAKEs, so what I have pertains to the former.
