-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SECOND GENERATION
2. David LAKE was born on 2 Jun 1679 in Portsmouth, Newport Co. RI. He died on 4 Aug 1767 in Portsmouth, Newport Co. RI. He was married to Mary WILCOX about 1700.
3. Mary WILCOX was born on 25 Feb 1683 of Rhode Island.
THIRD GENERATION
4. David LAKE was born about 1646 in Dorchester, Suffolk Co. MA. He died after 15 Jun 1709 in Little Compton RI. Second husband of Sarah EARLE, the widow CORNELL. On 10 Aug 1667, he enlisted in a troop of horse raised at Portsmouth for the Dutch War. On 27 Feb 1668/9, he was made a freeman at Portsmouth. His ear-mark was recorded 29 Mar 1669. He was a soldier for Capt. Church in King Philip's War and had a grant from Plymouth Colony, with his brother Thomas of 100 acres at Puncatest (In Tiverton) of which he was to have 60 acres as he had "been very useful and serviceable in the late war". An entry in the Portsmouth town records in 1682 shows that in 1676 he had sold indian captives to the town. On 4 Jan 1679/80, he was settled in Namquid, in Little Compton and on that date he, "now husband of Sarah, late wife of Thomas Cornell of Portsmouth" had a dispute with Thomas Cornell, son of the deceased, over Sarah's dower rights, which was then compromised. On 7 July 1681 he was sued by Benjamin Church and the other Pocasset proprietors for having forceably prevented a sale of their land, near the Fall River in May 1680, by pulling the turf and twiig (an ancient English form of enfoeoffment) from the hands of their attorney Joseph Church. This was a dispute over the land formerly granted to Thomas Lake and himself by Plymouth Colony after Philip's War. The jury found for the proprietors in a damage of 5 L. It should be noted that this was probably for the violence used, as in 1720 the title was still in dispute. On 22 Sep 1679, he purchased a large tract on both sides of the Taunton River, below Taunton, in what is not Dieghton, Somerset, and Freetown, together with other lands in Sippican (Rochester, MA) and at Acuhnet (Dartmouth, now New Bedford. On 14 Mar 1683/4 he, together with his wife Sarah, sold land at Dartmouth. He was one of the Little Compton men who vigorously opposed the attempts of the Plymouth Colony to establish the Conregational Church in Little Compton and was chosen in Feb 1686 as one of the town's agents to defend the nonpayment by the town of 15 L, as ordered by the Court for the support of the Congregational Minister. In March of that year, the Court ordered the town to pay 20 L for their contemptand because "they wrote rather as equals or neighbors, than as delinquants and offenders". In 1689 he was one of the proprietors of Dartmouth and as such sold land there. When Tiverton was organized as a town in 1692, he was one of the original inhabitants, as he resided on the line between Little Compton and that town. Henceforth he appears as "of Tiverton". He was a selectman of Tiverton on 28 July 1694 and again in 1698. On 16 Mar 1701/2, he was Moderator of the town meeting (Tiverton Town Records). On 28 Jan 1704/5 Sarah "now wife of David Lake", is mentioned in a deed (Bristol County Deeds). He was alive as late as 15 June 1709, as on that date "David Lake of Little Compton" for 3 L conveyed to Zaccheus Butts of Tiverton "all my right tile and interst in divided or undivided lands in the township of Dorchester" (Bristol Deeds, X, 649). This is his right in the lands left him by his uncle Thomas Lake of Dorchester, together with the other children of Henry Lake. It may be noted that this was five days before his sister, Elizabeth Butts, conveyed her rights in the same land to the same grantee, i.e. her son Zaccheus.
These deeds, by some curious chance were recorded in Bristol county and not in Suffolk, where the land was situated. He was married to Sarah EARLE about 1677. Second marriage. Married Cornell first.
