I believe that you questioned why I had John Lake Sr. b. before 1728,
son of Daniel Lake b. 1696 married to a Jane Longstreet. I was going
through some old records and I found the following information.

Records from the Freehold-Middletown Dutch Reformed Church Monmouth Co.

Born to Derek Van Cleef and Elizabeth Lake :

Benjamin bapt. May 29, 1743
Daniel bapt. January 13, 1745
Elizabeth bapt. Dec. 18, 1748
Hendrikje bapt. Dec. 22, 1751 witness was widow of Benjamin Van Cleef

Also baptized in this church were
Elizabeth Lake, bapt. May 20, 1750 dau. of Johannes Lake and Mayke
Langstraat (longstreet) Witnesses were Derek Van Cleef and E. Lake

John Lake and Elizabeth were siblings. On page 14 of Adams and Risleys
book more info is found regarding the Longstreets.

I have a Gisbert Longstreet Sr. marrying a Rachel? and having the
following children....Jane, Garret, Gisbert Jr., Nelley, Rachel, Elizabeth
and Mayke.

Seeing how the baptismal records show a Mayke being the mother of
Elizabeth...I wonder if she was the only wife of John or did he also
marry the sister Jane???? I had that the source of the Jane being the
wife coming from Gisbert's will.

The Longstreet Family were from Shewsbury, Monmouth Co. NJ
