Date: Mon, 7 Sep 2009 14:27:10 -0600 From: Jenna Longstreet To: 'Marshall Lake' Subject: John Lake Marshall, If you can post this for me I would sure appreciate it!!! ? OK I reallllly need help with this one!!!! ? With the release of the Barbour Collection on ancestry.com it has brought up a hornets nest that no one on ancestry.com wants to help me with because then they would have to say oops I?m wrong?me?I?m not afraid to say I?m wrong and if I am then so be it?BUT this cannot be over looked!!! ? The information everyone has online is this: John Lake B. 19 Dec 1724 Newtown, Fairfield, CT D. 23 Nov 1778 Kent, Litchfield, CT John is the son of John Lake and Abigail Kimberly ? Now enters the Barbour collection!!! Page 122? Newtown, Fairfield, CT collection You have John Lake m Abigail Kimberly If you look at pgs 121 and 122 you will find children of these two some births, some deaths and some marriages. Under the entry of John M Abigail KIMBERLY there is a bit of information on John?s. John Jr is the John who we are discussing his is the birth date listed above?on this page he married a Rodah Warner and there are like 6 children from this marriage NOW the problem we switch over to page 100 from the Kent, Litchfield, CT collection. Now we have John Lake with a wife Abigail Hoyt (Hoith) With 6 children and down a bit???you have the death date listed above..NOW unless this man traveled between these two cities and had 2 wives this is NOT possible as the children were all born within the same time as John and Rhodah Lake. ? Now the hornets nest!!! I believe people have accidentally used the birth of one John Lake and the death of another John Lake and called it good?Only its not good because that leaves my family line open to the questions of???who are my John Lake?s real parents and when and where was he born?and it makes the other John Lake and that entire line not of mine. ? I have attatched pages 100 and 122 of the Barbour collection so that you can see what I am talking about ? BTW my Lake line is: Jennifer Lake (me) Marquis Lake m. Elizabeth Allison Marquis Dan Lake m. Ida Bronson Daniel Lake m. Alice McEwen Marquis ?David Lake m. Edith Chamberlin David Nelson Lake m. Ruth Lester James J. Lake m. Hanna John Lake . Abigail Hoyt (Hoith) (this would be the John in question so will stop here) ? If anyone can shed some light on this I sure would appreciate it!!! ? Thank you ?
