Subject: Lakes & Sine's

My name is Mary Ann Sine Burgert. I am another Kishbough decendent. Marie
Thinglstad and I are first cousins. I was seaching your web site and
noticed your search ended with John Lake. I am  researching the Sines
in NJ.  While trying to find the father of my Phillip Sine b 5/24/1784 .
I came accross the name John Lake.  I was told John Lake is memtioned
as the Grandson of John Sine Sr.  I don't know if this is your John
Lake or not.   I don't have the wills.  But I am interested in finding
out how to go about getting them.    This information was passed on by
Charlette Fry Girven.

There is a  Will dated 7 Nov 1778 for a Nicholas Sine of
Amwell Twp., Hunterdon Co. NJ, leaving to William Sine, Sr. 5 pounds
as a birthright, to Elizabeth Bartholemew and Ann Sine, sisters, 5
pounds each. Cousin, John Sine, residue.  Executors - friends, John
Lambert and Peter Rockafellow, Jr.  Witnesses: John Lake, William
Taylor, Barnit Van Zandt.  Will was proved on 19 Sept 1781.  Will of Nicholas 
Sine 30
Mar 1795 (Calendar of Wills 1791-1795)
Early Germans of New Jersey, Page 498, Smiths of Amwell.
Will of John Sine, Sr 23 Jan. 1797 (Calendar of Wills 1796-1800) from the 
Will of
Nicholas Sine, dated Mar 30, 1795 and
proved on May 7, 1795 (Calendar of Wills, Hunterdon Co. NJ 1791-1795)
(I am not certain where this Nicholas Sine would fit in but the Will
of John Sine, Sr. mentioned a grand-son by the name of John Lake.)

John Sine, born about 1740/50, died in 1799, married Anna
  Children:  William; Peter; John; Catharine, born about 1760,
   md. to Garret Rittenhouse; Eva md. to Jacob Fox; Elizabeth;
Susanna;    Christina (md. to a Mr. Whilton and deceased by 1797)
Nicholas, born about 1740/50, died in 1795, married to Mary Smith
   daughter of Herbert Smith
  Children:  William; Rebeccah, Mary; Elizabeth; John; Sarah;
   and Charles

Hope some of this is a help to you.  Mary Ann  sinegene@aol.com
