Jerusha Lake - his wife- d. Sept. 12, 1861  (97) yrs.
Amanda Lake-might be Ransom's second wife- d.Feb. 10, 1879 (82) yrs.
Ransom Lake -son of David- d. Jan. 27, 1881 - ( 76 yr. 9 mo. )
Louisa Lake- Ransom's 1st wife-d. Dec. 5, 1833-( 26yr. 11 mo. )

David and Jerusha would have been born in 1764. Stone legible says,
"Here repose the mortal remains of the dutiful child Louisa Lake,
daughter of  Elisha and Cynthia Whetmore and consort of Ransom Lake. She
was born Dec. 15, 1806. Affectionate wife and humble Christian."



From the 1850 census, it would appear likely that Amanda was the sister
of Ransom Lake, not a wife:
