Subject: [lake-surname] LAKEs in England

The web page below perpetuates the myth begun before 1913 that John Lake
who died in 1612 in Essex, England was the son of Richard Lake and Ann
Wardell. - see
http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/read/GALLUP/2001-12/1008032524

This quotes the article that explodes the myth - Walter G. Davis,
"Ancestry of John Lake, Husband of Margaret(Reade)Lake," NEHGR; vol 84,
no 3 (Jul 1930) pp 304 to 317.
I think it can also be read on Ancestry.com

English Origins of New England Families Second Edition Vol II.

The rest of the information on the web page seems to agree with Davis.

 From my own research Richard Lake was baptized 16 Jul 1570 at Irby upon
Humber which is in the NE corner of Lincolnshire England. He was the
second child of John Lake & Margaret Osgarby. John had at least one
previous marriage and probably had a son also called John. John also had
a posthumous son John.
Richard married (1) Ann Wardell 18 May 1600 at Keelby Lincolnshire.
Their first son was Edward who became Sir Edward bt & probably Richard.
(2) Ann Morrallay whose children were Thomas, John baptized 19 Nov 1618
and others. All were baptized at Tetney which is near Irby. Later John
was a tailor at Boston MA dying there after 1676. He may have had a son
John who died before his father as John the father's will does not
mention any children.
