>(5)  It appears from the record of the estate of 1808 John Lake that he 
>had a son Reuben Lake (probably brother of Zenas?).

Really? I have a Reuben Lake in my database. Married to Elizabeth; 5
children--Hannah, Phoebe, Jonas, John, Jesse.  He was identified as a
'merchant of Amwell' in 1804 when he was taxed in that township. He was
also taxed there in 1790 as a householder. In 1777 he witnessed the will
of Noah Stout of Kingwood. I don't know where I picked up the names of
his wife and children. But his son Jonas (1785-1849) married Sarah Hunt
on 15 Dec 1808, and they had 4 children, Maria (1808), Deborah (1811),
Amy (1818) and Ruth Hunt Lake (1827). Seems like a lot of time between
children.  Jonas' death date of 10 May 1849 came from the Bible of Amos
Hunt on file in the H.C. Historical Society. He was the brother of Sarah
Hunt. Maybe I got the rest of the family information from that source too,
but I would have to look that up.
