From: phlathome at juno.com (phlathome at juno.com) Date: Mon, 25 Jan 1999 21:10:08 -0500 Subject: Vincent Lake of Virginia I am looking for the descendants of Vincent Lake, born in Fauquier County, VA, about 1735; died in Culpepper, VA, about 1813. I think his wife's given name was Ann. They may have had nine or ten or even more children including: William, Milly, John, Willis, Richard, James, Redman and Elias. I am especially interested in information about Elias since it appears that his descendants in Virginia spelled their surname as "LEAKE." Can anyone confirm that Vincent Lake of Fauquier and Culpepper Counties, VA, was the father of a son named Elias Lake or Leake, born in Culpepper Co., VA, about 1783 and died about 1850 in Rappahannock Co., VA. He married Nancy Jenkins, and they had at least ten children. I have additional details, particularly about Elias and his children. Preston H.
