Joel's birth record identifies him as a son of David, Sr., & Sarah Lake.

Joel married Sarah Bailey Abt 1704. Sarah was born Abt 1685. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Sarah's maiden name as Bailey was obtained from a genealogy at Rootsweb's Worldconnect, and has not been verified by me. The marriage records of the children idenfy her as Sarah.

Notes:

The following notes are from John O. Austin's "Genealogical Dictionary of Rhode Island."

David [Lake] was a freeman at Portsmouth 27 Feb 1669 [I found the date of 16 Oct 1668], and his earmark (for his livestock) was recorded 29 Mar 1669. On 22 Sep 1679 he bought land on the Taunton River (in Dighton, Somerset, and Freetown, MA) and also at Sippican (Rochester, MA) and Acushnet (New Bedford, MA). In 1689 he was a proprietor at Dartmouth, and a Selectman at Tiverton on 28 Jul 1694 and again in 1698. On 16 Mar 1696 and in 1698 he was Town Clerk of Tiverton. On 11 Mar 1702 he was Moderator of the Tiverton Town Meeting. On 15 Jun 1709 he, then of Little Compton, deeded to Zaccheus Butts his land rights in Dorchester and Stoughton, MA, which had been inherited from his uncle Thomas (probably Lake).

"Thomas LAKE [Henry & Alice's son] ... was brought up in the family of his uncle, Thomas LAKE of Dorchester. ... He was a soldier under Capt. Benjamin CHURCH in Philip's War, as was his brother David. ... On 1 Nov 1676, Plymouth Colony granted 100 acres at Puncatest (Tiverton) to David and Thomas LAKE for their services in Philip's War, of which David was to have 60 acres (Plymouth Col. Rec.). This land was afterwards included in the bounds of the Pocasset purchase, with the result that a bitter dispute arose between the Lakes and the Pocasset proprietors." (source: MORIARTY, G. Andrews: The Early Rhode Island LAKEs, published July 1935 in The American Genealogist and New Haven Genealogical Magazine, Vol. XII, No. 1, pp. 17-24.)

David married Sarah EARLE Abt 1677. Sarah (daughter of Ralph EARLE and Joan SAVAGE) was born Between 1640 and 1645, Dorchester, MA; died Abt 1690, Tiverton, RI. [Group Sheet]
