From: "Linda Carr" "How was Myron C. Lake, the founder of Reno, Nevada, related?" I have added him and his ancestors to my family tree on rootsweb.com. He was a descendant of Thomas of Stratford through his son, John. Here is the line: 1 Thomas LAKE b: 1666 d: 1727/28 + Sarah PEAT OR PEATE b: 13 Oct 1665 d: 1728 2 John LAKE b: 22 NOV 1688 d: 8 SEP 1768 + Abigail KIMBERLY b: 25 APR 1699 d: 1781 3 John LAKE b: 19 Dec 1724 d: 23 Nov 1778 + Abigail HEITH b: Abt 1735 4 John LAKE b: 1 Jul 1770 d: 14 May 1837 + Sarah UNKNOWN b: Abt 1772 d: 25 May 1852 5 John LAKE b: 24 Aug 1799 d: 15 Jan 1877 + Catherine VAN TASSELL b: 1 Feb 1803 d: 29 Jan 1874 6 Myron C. LAKE b: 1828 d: 20 Jun 1884 + Jane LAKE b: 1837 7 Charles Myron LAKE b: 1875 + Lillian LAKE b: 1884 I couldn't find any children of Myron's son, Charles and his wife, Lillian. Myron doesn't sound like a very nice man, according to the webpages I found. He was pretty shrewd and not well liked. From: Linda & David Carr Subject: Re: Error!
