BEGIN From: kulpak2 at msn.com (Linda Kulpak) Date: Sat, 16 Oct 2004 14:57:36 -0400 I'm new to this group and only researching my Lake heritage a short 14 months now. My information: My fraternal grandmother was Nellie Ace who married Roy Wallace Webb. The few items I am sure of are 1. - Nellie's mother was Susan Lake who married William T. Ace. 2. - Susan (Sue) was from Junction - Hunterdon County, NJ. born in 1847 - possibly Raritan 3. - William T. Ace was from Monroe County PA. and worked for the railroad 4. - Nellie's sisters were Ida Lake Ace Harris - who was married to David Harris and Charlotta (Lottie) who is buried here in Pennsylvania ( Shady Lane Cemetery, Chinchilla) a brother George Ace 5. - There is a Maggie Von Covenskjold on the Monroe county 1880 census listed as divorced "Sister-in-law" of William and Susan Ace. This may be Susan Lake's sister. 6. - Susan Lake Ace is buried in Hyde Park Cemetery, Scranton, Lackawanna County, PA (died 27 Jul 1905) Additionally I found these entries : "Lake, Sue and William T. Ace, June 7, 1874" at http://mlake.net/lake/NewJersey/lake_marriages.txt 1/13/1874, XXXVI, 21, 1892 "On the 7th inst., at Junction, by Rev. John B. Kugler, William S. Ace to Sue, daughter of John C. Lake, Esq." at http://mlake.net/lake/NewJersey/HunterdonCoDemocrat.txt My question: I've been reading about the many many John Lakes - especially the JOHN C Lakes. I've seen reference to John Case Lake Jr. from Hunterdon County with approximately the same date range appropriate for my Susan Lake, but his family listing doesn't agree with my meager information. Where does my Susan Lake fit into the John Lake puzzle? Does anyone have any additional clues for me?? Linda Webb (Great grand-daughter of Susan Lake) From: atrue at garlic.com (T.S.& A.F. Truesdell) Date: Sun, 17 Oct 2004 16:06:34 -0700 Census records indicate that your Susan is the daughter of John C. Lake and Harriet Skinner. From my notes: JOHN C.

I considered that maybe "Sue" or "Susan" was a pet name of one of the listed daughters, but the birth dates weren't right. When I saw "Ida" I felt strongly that this was my family because Susan named one of her daughters "Ida Lake" Ace (1879) . Now if I can extract a few more details - Margaret "Maggie" is listed on the 1880 Scranton Pennsylvania census as divorced sister-in-law Maggie Von Covenskjold. I can't find reference to "Aunt" Maggie (1876) or her ex, anywhere. Any clues about Maggie or the the first Ida Lake (1861)? Also - I've included a photgraph from 1980 of my Grandmother Nellie Ace Webb (daughter of Susan Lake) on her 90 birthday. Linda Webb (great granddaughter of Susan Lake) END from as ancestry.com message board ... BEGIN By Linda Webb January 23, 2004 at 07:54:51 My great grandmother was Susan Lake - born in 1847 in New Jersey (Hunterdon County? I'm not sure) She married William T. Ace from Eastern PA (Monroe County maybe) and they lived in Scranton PA at the turn of the century. They remained there until their deaths. I have a record of 4 children- Ida, George, Lottie, and my grandmother Nellie. I know very little about Susan Lake, other than she was from New Jersey. I have very little information about her family - some of the bits and pieces I found are family names that reapper - Sarah, Charles, Mary, Thomas, Susan, Margaret, John, Evans, Isaac, Margaret. Town names like Amwell, Raritan, Somerset, Hunterdon are common. From the 1880 census I found out that Susan had a divorced sister living with her - Maggie Van Covenskold. If any of this looks familiar - let's compare notes. END
