On my last trip to the NJ State Archives in Trenton, I looked up some
Lake wills.  I did not copy down all the words or inventoried items
of the wills, but only the names involved, including family relations,
in order to extract genealogical information.
      If you'd like a copy of an entire will, it can be ordered by mail,
or looked up on microfilm and photocopied if you go there.  I have
included the number of each will.
    I hope something here will be of help to other Lake family
     researchers.  (Can anyone tell me where the plantation, or farm,
     of Jacob and Arreante
Lake was in Somerset Co?  What is the specific town or location?)
