      LAKE, HENRY,  Salem 1649, a currier, perhaps the same wh. was of
      Dorchester 1658,  br. of Thomas of the  same. JAMES, Mass. 1647.
      Felt.  Perhaps only a trans.  one. JOHN, Boston 1643,  a tailor;
      freem. [[vol.  3, p. 45]] 1644, by w. Mary,  sis. of Matthew and
      Richard Coy, had  Caleb, b. 27 May, bapt. 1 June 1645, but prob.
      d. young;  and the f. d. 6 Aug. 1677, leav.  wid. Lucy, and gave
      her  some of his  est. resid. to John  and Mary, ch. of  his br.
      but ment.  no ch. of his  own. His will of 4 of  the same mo. as
      Hammond  in  his Diary  tells,  was writ.  by  Richard Sharp  of
      Boston, wh. d.  the next day, so one day bef. testat. and Lake's
      wid. d. 13  May foll. JOHN, Boston, perhaps neph. of the preced.
      d. 1691, unm.

      LANCELOT,  Boston 1695, a physician,  of wh. nothing is  kn. but
      that he  m. 6 May 1708,  wid. Catharine Child, and  3 Mar. foll.
      in his  will, pro. 3 Oct.  1715, gave her all his  est. He d. 17
      Sept.  and, I presume,  it was a doubt  in the mind of  the wid.
      whether the  est. would amount to the  few shillings of expense.
      His gr.stone was  lately found in the cemetery of King's Chapel.
      THOMAS, Dorchester, freem.  2 June 1641, d. 27 Oct. 1678; his w.
      Alice,  wh. was  ten yrs. older,  hav. d. 7  days bef.  Oft. the
      name was writ.  yet prob. not by hims. Like, or Leake. His will,
      made aft. d.  of his w. names no ch. but gives  his prop. to br.
      Henry, and  equal. to childr: of br. H.  exc. that Thomas should
      have  £5  more. THOMAS,  Boston,  where he  own.  lds. bef:  his
      resid. an  emin. merch. came from London to  New Haven, there m.
      Mary,  d. of Stephen  Goodyear, the dep.-gov.  of that  col. had
      Stephen, b.  13 Feb. 1650; Mary,  27 July 1663, d.  in few wks.;
      Thomas, 9  Feb. 1657; Mary, again, 1 May  1659, d. soon; Edward,
      28  June 1661, d.  soon; Edward, again,  15 July 1662,  d. soon;
      Ann, 12 Oct.  1663; John, 22 Feb. 1666; Nathaniel, 18 July 1668;
      Rebecca, 6 July  1670; and Sarah, 14 Sept. 1671. He purch. 1654,
      from John Richards,  half of Arousick isl. in the Kennebeck, and
      many yrs. held  a trad. house there, was freem. 1671, selectman,
      had  large transact. with  the Ind. by  wh. he  was k. 14  or 16
      Aug.  1676,  being on  a  visit. He  had made  his  will dur.  a
      sickness so  long bef. as 27 Jan. 1664, from  wh. we learn, that
      he  was br. of  John, that his w.  had sis. Lydia, and  not much
      more.  His  est. was  large;  and  his s.  Thomas  enjoy. it  at
      London, where  he d. 22 May 1711, at the  Middle Temple; and his
      d.  Ann, w.  of Rev. John  Cotton at Hampton,  m. 17  Aug. 1686,
      next,  of Rev. Increase Mather,  wh. she surv. d.  at Brookline,
      29 Mar. 1737.

      WILLIAM, Salem  1665, a cooper; perhaps s. of  Henry, m. a. Aug.
      1661, Ann  Stratton, had Ann, b. 1 June  1662, d. soon; Abigail,
      21 Apr. 1667;  Mary, 1 Feb. 1669; and William, 12 Mar. 1675; was
      allow.  1674, to  sell beer and  cider, as was  his wid.  Ann in
      1681.  Of Mrs.  Margaret L.  at New London  1646, and  many yrs.
      aft. at Ipswich  [see Geneal. Reg. Vl. 165], much hard labor has
      been expend.  by Miss Caulkins to learn her  derivat. and m. but
      in  vain. She d.  says Felt, 1672,  leav. two ds. Hannah,  w. of
      John Gallop; and Martha, w. of Thomas Harris.

      WILLIAM, Groton,  freem. 1670, d. 10 Dec. 1672,  in 90th or 91st
      yr. Tradit. more  credib. than common makes him bring the gr.ch.
      William and  John, perhaps at the same  time with William Martin
      of Reading,  wh. m. their mo.  yet it does not  tell the name of
      their f.  nor whether the mo. m. in Eng.  to Martin, nor whether
      the gr.f.  had w. on this side of the water,  nor when or whence
      he  came. Both he  and Martin were  engaged in planta.  1655, of
      Groton. Shattuck, 95,  borrows the tradit. of Butler in Hist. of
      G. 273,  that he emigr. in his old age  from Redington. But this
      must  be mistake, as  there is no  such place in Eng.  Prob. the
      parish  of Ridlington is  meant. That is  a small parish  in the
      hundred  of  Martinsley,   Co.  Rutland,  2  and  1/4  ms.  from
      Uppingham;  or more  likely the  native seat  of the  Lakins may
      have been the  smaller parish of the same name in the hundred of
      Tunstead,  Co. Norfk. 4  and 1/4 ms.  from North Walsham.  If he
      came  with Martin  his old age  should not be  thot. of;  for he
      pass. above thirty yrs. here.

      WILLIAM,  Reading, br.  of John,  by w. Lydia,  d. of  the first
      Abraham Brown,  had William, b. 6  May 1655; John, 3  Jan. 1658;
      and Jonathan,  28 June 1661; rem. to Groton  and had Abraham, 10
      Jan. 1664, d.  soon; William, May 1665; Abraham, again, 11 Sept.
      1667; and  Elias, 8 Jan. 1669;  was freem. 1672, unless  (wh. is
      not prob.)  it was he, not  his gr.f. in 1670;  lieut. 1673; and
      d.  22 Feb.  1700. Great  list of  descend. appears  in Butler's
      valua. Hist. of G.
