The Three Different Esther/Hester Ann Lakes in Iowa during 1800's
These 3 different Esther/Hester Ann Lakes have been quite confusing to me and why I couldn't get past my "brick wall" with "my" Esther Ann Lake (Christopher). I posting what I have pieced together, hoping to find someone else "out there" who has anything to offer to confirm, refute or otherwise.

[A member tree titled "One World Tree" on Ancestry.com lists an additional husband for the Hester Ann Lake (Seevers) above as James W. Hartsook, but I believe he actually belongs to the following Hester A. Lake, d/o Johnson Lake, 1841-1915 & Florance J. Welsh, 1852-1937]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
(3.) Hester Ann LAKE (HARTSOOK) b. Jan 1871 in Madison Co., Iowa - d. ???
[several of the "member trees" all say she died 30 Jan 1937 but since the cemetery record with that date is attached to Hester Ann Seevers, I believe it is not the death date for Hester Ann Hartsook.]
