I had Sarah down as Sarah Lape based on the Ancestry tree info, but then looking at cemetery records, there is a Sarah Lake Ostrander buried in the same cemetery as Charles, so I am thinking maybe Lape should actually be Lake? There is also a Racheal Lake who was married to a Burton from about the same timeframe. I think they are related... Sarah Lake(?) Ostrander had as executor of her estate a Lebbeus Burton. Rachael Lake (her sister?) was married to a Zimri Burton, brother of Lebbeus. Sarah and Charles Ostrander had a daughter Helen, who married a James D. Davis. James D. Davis is listed as an executor of the estate of Lebbeus Burton.... The daughter Helen was a cousin of my great-great grandmother (Frances Lake Burdick, daughter of Sarah Burton Buss). The mother of Sarah Burton Buss is the Mary L. Ostrander in question in my original message.... The one who I cannot find. She married Alfred Buss prior to 1837. Clear as mud, I know....! Jeremy From: Terence Kelley Subject: [OSTRANDER] Ostrander/Lape marriages / or Lake ? Date: Wed, 5 Apr 2017 10:23:24 -0400 Was surname Lape or Lake ? I found two female Lape that married Ostranders in Ancestry.com see: https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/6060968/person/1587717688/facts Terence Kelley terencepau@aol.com -----Original Message----- From Jeremy Taylor Subject[OSTRANDER] Mary L Ostrander 1818-1883 Date Tue, 4 Apr 2017 19:59:10 +0000 (UTC) I am trying to find out the parents of Mary L. Ostrander, born abt. 1818 in Greene County, NY (according to census records). She married Alfred Buss prior to 1837, and they had the following children: John, Mary, Sarah, Emma, and Elizabeth. They lived in Brunswick, Rensselaer County. Some family lore says that the L stands for Lake, although I cannot find anything to substantiate this. Another ancestor, Helen P. Davis (nee Ostrander) is the daughter of Charles Ostrander and Sarah Lake. She is born abt. 1854. To date I have not been able to find a link between them. Mary and Alfred's daughter Sarah Burton Buss born 1845 was my 3rd great-grandmother. Her daughter was Frances Lake Burdick. The Lake and Burton names turn up more than once as middle names, but I am having a hard time connecting the dots.... Thanks, Jeremy
