In case you do not know, Bapchild is about 5 miles west of Ospringe. Both lie on the London to Canterbury road between Sittingbourne and Faversham. Perhaps some of the following names will strike a chord but I am just quoting another's work and have not checked it. Thomas Lake of Borden Hall, Borden (a few miles SW of Sittingbourne) 1580 - 1625 m1 1608 Ann Huntley m2 1610 Marie Ruck* *Richard Lake of Morris Court, Bapchild 1613 - 1672 m1 Mary Adam+ m2 Mary Rofe m3 Ann Newland +Thomas Lake of Easterling, Faversham & Bapchild 1641 - 1719 m1 Elizabeth Simmonds# m2 Dorothy ? died 1751 #John Lake of Bapchild 1674 - 1750 m Ann Lushington The line seems to originate in Smarden with an offshoot in Goudhurst. If you want to follow this up, perhaps the best thing to do would be for me to give you Ken Henson's snail mail address, off list, and you can contact him. Perhaps by now he has more information and a closer connection with Ospringe.
