Lake.  He served in the Civil War.   Ebenezer A. Lake Home Address:  423 Division St. Born:  about 1842 (this fits with his age in the 1850 census) Died:  January 8, 1897 Buried in Riverview Cemetery, Trenton, Mercer County Section K Lot no 75 Block NW Grave No 1 Civil War Co. C 8th Regt. NJ Vol Infantry, Private I took this information from a film I read in the beginning of researching John Stryker Lake.  I still have the 1860 census pulled up.  Otherwise, I can give you the link but will do that later.  In the meantime, you should see what you can find out about this guy.  I think he could be John's son.  I wonder if he might have received a pension?
