I have added this to my family tree site - maybe it will help: It is unknown who his parents were. However, the following could be ruled out: Henry & Alice Lake - From the story of "Alice Lake Executed as a Witch" by Alice Marie Beard, the descendants of Alice and her son, Thomas, b. 1644, are listed, as well as his children. He is NOT Thomas of Stratford, but lived and died in Little Compton, RI. John & Margaret Reade Lake - From the "Ancestry of John Lake, Husband of Margaret Reade Lake" by Walter Goodwin Davis, BAA., LL.B., Published in New England Historical & Genealogical Register - Margaret separated from her husband in 1635 when she moved to America. John remained in England until his death. Their son, Thomas, born in 1618, was too old to be Thomas of Stratford and living until 1628. Some records show this Thomas marrying "Mary" in 1638 and living in Boston, MA. Thomas & Mary Goodyear - from "A History of My People and Yours" by Claud Nelson McMillan - their son, Thomas, b. 1656, returned to England and became a barrister. John & Ann Spicer Lake - did not have a son named Thomas. (NOTE - THIS IS IN ERROR. - MEL) John & Mary Coye Lake - had one son, Caleb, who died young. Did not have any other issue. - Linda Lake Carr - suncalgal@hotmail.com or lcarr@san.rr.com
