Lake was born in Greene County NY on April 15, 1796. We have been unable to find any parents of siblings for him. We got this birth place info off of the 1850 census in Ontario County, NY. Wells Lake married in Jefferson County in 1816 to Harriett Sabin whose family lived in Brownsville, Jefferson County, NY. Harriett and Wells W. Lake lived and died in Ontario County, NY.

Birth: 15 Apr 1796 in Greene Co., NY a.. Death: 14 Apr 1857 in Farmington, NY a.. Occupation: Farmer a.. MARC: 30 Jun 1816 Brownville, Jefferson, NY a.. Note: Wells was a descendant of Thomas Lake, b.1666, in Derbyshire, England, and Sarah Peate, b.1665, in England. Thomas and Sarah settled in Stratford, Connecticut, and had nine children. In the later half of the 1700's, the Lake clan moved from Connecticut to Greene County, N.Y. There were so many Edwards, Davids and Sarahs in the family, that tracking them has been difficult. They tended to all use the same names in naming their children. Wells's parents and siblings are unknown. One strong possibility is that David Lake and Sarah Wells were his grandparents. They had a son, Wells, but he was more likely an uncle and not the father of Wells. In tracking the children of David and Sarah, as well as the children of Wells, they migrated to many of the same townships in upstate New York. Greene County was established in 1800 from townships in Ulster and Albany Counties. It is unknown what town Wells was born, or which county - probably Albany County. In looking at the sons of David and Sarah, the following is known: Edward D. had a son, Myron, 1810 - 1825, and Wells's next born son after Myron's death was named Myron, b.1830. Since Edward did not marry until 1800, he was probably not Wells's father, but perhaps a close uncle. Also, the Ontario County Respository reported January 5, 1825, that Myron was the eldest son of Edward D., again offering proof that Edward D. was not the father of Wells. However, in the 1810 Census, a male 10-16 and a female 16-26 were listed as living with Edward D. Lake and were not his children (unless he had been previously married). The 1810 Census do, however, show that Edward D. and Phineas each had a male living in the household 10-16 years old, even though they were married July 1800 and 1804, respectively. In the 1820 Census, Edward D. and this Wells were each living with their families in Ontario County. Other uncles of Wells's living nearby in upstate N.Y. were: William, Phineas, & Eli. Wells's father may have been one of the other sons of David and Sarah's, for whom there is no record, and the possibility remains that he was the son of Matthew. In the 1800 census, Matthew was listed as having three sons under the age of ten. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Wells and Hattie were married in Brownville, Jefferson, NY, while visiting her sister and brother-in-law, Polly Sabin and Arnold Bennett. a..

Otherwise, if I don't hear from you, I will stop sending you these emails. At the bottom of this email in red ink is the information I would like to locate. Barbara Peters thinks she found it at the LDS Library. Jo Ann, don't you live in Salt Lake City, and would you be able to find the info that Barbara references? Please let me know. Thanks, all. Linda Below is a listing of the children of David and Sarah Wells Lake that I have been able to establish. However, there are references to other children, since they were married in 1763 and the first one listed below was born in 1772. On the Family Search website of the LDS (http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp) there are other children listed for them: Susannah b. 1764 David b. 1766 Abiah b. 1769 Dolly or Olive b. 1771 (Date must be wrong, or she doesn't belong to this family, since Wells was born in Jan of 1772) Patty b. 1785 I don't know if any of these were also the children of David and Sarah, but Barbara Peters found records listing David and Susannah as being their children. This could be significant, as it could mean that the David Jr. listed in the census records was the son of David and Sarah, and not the son of David II, as many others have indicated. There may have been two Davids born the same year (1766), and this one may have been their son. If indeed David Jr. was the son of David and Sarah, then this David would be the father he replaced in the war. Barbara has written: David Lake III was a Rev. War veteran, as was his father. At the age of 12 he stood in for his father who was ill and couldn't serve, in Col. Whiting's Regiment, 4th Militia, Capt. Wilcox's Company. Stationed near Fairfield, David III served 2 months. In 1780 he served again in his father's company for six months. Aggain, this was Col. Whiting's regiment. Brig. Gen. Gold S. Silliman commanded the brigade. Silliman was a POW, held on Long island, for a long period during the war. During one of his tours of duty, David Lake III was in Col. Canfield's Reg. (CT Militia), Capt. David Nichols' Company. He was at West Point on Sept 12, 1781. His rank was private. See pension File R-6088, Natl. Archives. However, all of the census records and church records listing him list him as David Jr., not David III. There are other reasons, which I've emailed you before, why I think Abiah could have also belonged to this family. Please let me know if you would like any additional information on her.

Actually, I haven't even mentioned "our" Wells Lake. The Wells Lake who was the son of David and Sarah is another one. I'll put his information below. If we can prove that David Jr. was also their son, then it gives us another possibility for parents for "our" Wells. 1. David Lake, Jr. and Jerusha Kelly were married January 26, 1794 in Greenville Presbyterian Church. Our Wells was born in 1796 in Greenville. So, they may possibly have been his parents. 2. The 1800 census for David Lake Junior showed he had two male children under ten. On Ancestry,com family trees, there is only one child attributed to him who was born before before 1800 (Ralph). Perhaps, the other male was "our" Wells? 3. More importantly, if David Jr. belongs to this family, I think we should put him in his rightful place in history. Right now he is listed as being David 3rd, but he doesn't list himself anywhere as the 3rd. Sarah Beardsley was NOT married to David Lake II and I have found proof to that, but there are still listings of her with David Lake on Ancestry.com family trees. She was married to Peleg Sunderland and had six children with him. She was never married to David Lake II, and yet some people have her as the mother of David Lake III. Unless we correct the errors, they will just compound over the years. Here is the information on Wells Lake, b. 1772: a.. Name: Wells LAKE a.. Given Name: Wells a.. Surname: Lake a.. Sex: M a.. Birth: 12 Jan 1772 in Stratford, Fairfield, CT a.. Death: 26 Nov 1839 in New Paltz, Ulster Co., NY a.. Event: Number of Children - eleven a.. Note: Elected to the New York State Senate and served as a senator, 2nd District of the State of New York 1825-28. Listed in Tobias V. Cuyler's Albany Directory, printed by E. & E. Hosford. Wells's wife, Ruth, died in 1827, which may have discouraged him from running for re-election. Wells was most likely admired by his younger brothers. Brother Eli was listed in the 1810 Census on the line directly below Wells, and lived in Ulster at the time. Eli named a son, Wells, in 1816, and Wells named one of his sons, Eli, later that same year. a.. Correspondence from a granddaughter of Wells confirmed that Edward and Eli were his brothers. Greenville Presbyterian Church baptismal records of 1784, confirmed that additional brothers of Eli were Phineas and William. All were sons of David and Sarah Lake.

We don't know who David Lake II was married to, but the Sarah and David mentioned in the Greenville Presbyterian Church records under baptisms and new members was actually David and Sarah Wells Lake. We know this because their sons, Billy, Phineas and Eli were baptized here. I offered proof through found correspondence that Sarah Beardsley was, and remained married to Peleg Sunderland, not David Lake II. (If you want more info on this, let me know and I'll send it to you). In your account of David Lake III who married Jerusha Kelly, it is very detailed about his war record. It's wonderful information to have. My question is, could he be a junior instead of the 3rd David Lake - and might his parents have been David, born 1733, and Sarah Wells and not the son of David, born 1724? 1. David was named in the Greenville Presbyterian Church marriage records as David Jr. when marrying Jerusha Kelly. 2. He was listed in the 1800 census as David Jr. and had two male children under ten. We only know of one - Ralph. 3. He was listed as being from Greenfield in the church records - the same place Phineas was from (if they were brothers it makes sense) 4. The David Lake who married Sarah Wells could have been in the war - the two Davids (born in 1724 and 1733) may have been confused - it's hard to tell who's who. 5. The children you have listed under David and Sarah Beardsley - Abiah and Dolly (Olive) may also have been daughters of David and Sarah Wells. 6. Abiah Lake married Nathan Botsford and became members of the Greenville Presbyterian Church the same day as Lucy Lake - wife of Edward D. Lake, who may have been Abiah's brother (not really any proof, but interesting). 7. Abiah named her children David, Eli and Olive - all of whom would have been her siblings' names. (See baptism records of Greenville Presbyterian Church) 8. Other researchers, such as Dick Dutton, have Abiah and Dolly (or Olive), listed as daughters of David Lake - they just didn't assign any particular David. It may have been David and Sarah Wells Lake. 9. David and Sarah Wells were married in 1763, yet the only children listed for them in Orcutt's book are Edward born 1777 (it was actually 1775), and Matthew born 1779. We know they also had Wells, William, Eli and Phineas - and so they may have also been the parents of David, b. 1766, Abiah, b. 1769, and Dolly (Olive) b.1771. We know that Orcutt was incorrect about Ann Leavenworth being the mother of his children (she was his second wife - Ann Beardsley was the mother of his children). Annette Truesdell, another respected researcher, had said there are many errors in Orcutt's book. Perhaps this is one of them. There is one record in the LDS Family Search Records that lists all of these mentioned above as the children of David and Sarah Wells Lake (See below). 10. The war records (they're copied from your Ancestry.com listing), may have been David Lake born 1733 and David Jr. - and not David born 1724 (see below). 11. I have contacted Don Parrot and David Emmons - the only other listings for a David Lake III, and they both said they copied their information from you, so there isn't anyone else's research to go by. 12. The war records I can locate under David Lake does not list him as a Jr. or the III. How can we research this further to be sure which David this David belongs to? We could start with the war records to see if he is specifically mentioned as David III, or if it was somehow added. As you can tell, this information is important for me to know, as David and Jerusha may possibly be the parents of Wells Lake, born 1796. In the 1800 census, David and Jerusha had two male children under 10 listed, and only Ralph is the only son known to be born before 1800. It just gives us more options for research if David III was in fact, David Jr. and the son of David and Sarah Wells Lake. Barbara, I just found an old email from you, which may be the best proof yet on David being the son of David and Sarah Wells. Looks like there is proof in the Fair Haven Church Records: Dated 10/31/2003 Hi Linda , Cleaning out a drawer, I found your email of April 2003 on David & Sarah Wells Lake. I agree the ages of the children listed for David and Sarah Beardsley don't go with the ages of the parents. I got that information from the History of Stratford Ct., Orcutt p.1234. For David and Sarah Wells, I have 2 children listed - names I got from the Fair Haven Church records in Stratford. Children listed were Susannah and David (b.1766) and no other info on these two children. You got your information on David and Sarah Wells Lake from familysearch.org. Is there documentation with it? Sooooo - if all those kids belong to David and Sarah Wells Lake, who are the kids that belong to David and Sarah Beardsley??? Barbara Peters ------------------------------------------------------------------ (Again, Sarah Beardsley was not married to David Lake, but to Peleg Sunderland) ------------------------------------------------------------------ Here is a file I found listing all these as children of David and Sarah Wells Lake: http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp ---------------------- To Barbara Peters: Hi Barbara, I found something interesting on David Lake's tombstone - "died Sept. 21, 1848, age 84". That means he was born in 1764, not 1766 as all our records indicate. Could there have been two Davids - one born in 1764 and one in 1766? One could have been the son of David and Sarah Wells Lake.

Note: Peleg Sunderland can be found in the list of Revolutionary War Soldiers of Connecticut, along side the names of David and Ephraim Beardsley, brothers of Sarah Beardsley, Peleg's wife. He served under Captain Samuel Whiting in the Second Regiment during the campaign of 1762. He served from May 8 - Oct 28, 1762. He is listed under "Stratford Men in the Revolution" meaning he was from Stratford, CT. Whether he was born in Stratford or a nearby town is unknown. After 1762, Peleg Sunderland moved his family to Vermont where several of his children were born. He later re-enlisted under the State of Vermont for service in the Rev. War, where he is listed in the records as Lieutenant, Vermont Militia in 1776. Other military records have him listed through 1782. Peleg was a member of the Green Mountain Boys, a citizen's militia founded in Fay's Tavern in Bennington, VT, in 1770. See "Are You Related" under: www.ethanallenhomestead.org/HISTORY/greenmountainboys.htm - where Peleg is listed as a member. "violence and intimidation often occurring as they defended their lands against the hated 'Yorkers'. However, this group of Yankee Vigilantes was very instrumental in resisting New York's claims to land in what is now Vermont. It is worth noting that the Green Mountain Boys took no lives." From the Archives of the U.S., Rev. War records Continental Green Mountain Boys, Vermont, File 10956, a soldier's records are as follows, "...that he entered as a volunteer in the service in the state of Vermont in the year 1776 under Captain Peleg Sunderland." Source: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~russellgs/notes/not0036.html Another entry on http://www.rootsweb.com/~vermont/RutlandClarendon.html states the following: "In consquence of the proceedings of the Green Mountain Boys in Durham, the NY Assembly upon petition of Benjamin Hough offered a reward of... fifty pounds for either Warner, Smith, Sunderland, Brown or Cockran; and on March 9, 1774, passed the noted "most minatory and despotic act" against the Green Mountain Boys; adjudging them if they did not 'surrender within 70 days, to be guilty of convicted and attempted of felony and punished with death without trial...'" "None of the Yorkers in Clarendon seem to have made any further resistance to the Green Mountain Boys, except Benjamin Hough who, having March 12, 1774, obtained a commission as justice of the peace under NY, became so troublesome that it was found necessary to silence and make an example of him. On the night of 26th December, 1774, he was arrested...tried for his offenses, Ethan Allen, Seth Warner, Robert Cockran, Peleg Sunderland... acting as judges." The marriage of Peleg and Sarah Beardsley is listed under Connecticut Marriages to 1800, Early Connecticut Marriages: Seventh Book. Stratford-Trumbull, from Fair Haven Church Records, P. 97, Peleg Sunderland & Sarah Beardsley, March 4, 1759. From Vermont, he later moved to Hartford, Washington, New York, where he died in 1797.
