• Notes

  "Sometime between 1631 and 1635 John Lake's wife, Margaret (Reade) Lake, left him and emigrated with her sisters and their families to New England, taking with her two daughters, Ann and Martha Lake. For many years she lived with the family of her brother-in-law, Governor John Winthrop, Jr., at New London, Conn., and is mentioned repeatedly in the Winthrop family correspondence. The last decade of her life was spent at Ipswich, Mass., in the home of her daughter, Martha (Lake) Harris, and of her brother-in-law, Dept. Gov. Samuel Symonds. In 1654, Rev. Hugh Peter, Mrs. Lake's step-father, wrote from London to John Winthrop, Jr.: 'John Lake is alive and lusty'; and in 1657 he stated to the same correspondent: 'John Lake lives still.' On January 18, 1661/2, Mrs. Lake wrote from Wendham, to her brother-in-law, Governor Winthrop, who was in London: 'Might I not bee troublesome to you I would have desired yors. to have done mee yt courtesy as to have inquired concerning my husbands death, & how he ended his dayes, as also to have inquired of my cousen Thomas Cooke, whether hee knew whether their was any thing left mee or no....I would desire you inquire whether my sister Breadcale (sic) who dwells in Lee (Leigh), in Essex, bee living. You may heare of her, if liveing, at Irongate where boats weekly come from Lee.' No will of John Lake has been found." [The Ancestry of Bethia Harris, citation details below]
