  • Notes 
    • In the Federal Census of 1850, Eliza Lake is age 35, living in Tiverton, RI. With her are the following, all Lake: William 18, Marybe 10, Thomas 9, Jared 5, Nabby 65, Abby 30, and Sally 43. It appears that Eliza may be a widow, but this needs more research to confirm. Many other Lake individuals are listed on the same census page, including a couple named Job & Eliza, but they are a bit older.
