Does anyone know if he was married to anyone besides Sarah. It sounds like it
in the Will, but I don't know. And he talks about his grandson, Daniel
Stillwell, was this his daughter Alice, who married a Stillwell?

Abstracts of Unrecorded Wills, Vol XI, Prior to 1790, page 54:
In the name of God, Amen. August 2, 1727. I, DANIEL LAKE, of Staten Island,
Gentleman, being not well, but of perfect mind. I leave to my wife Sarah, all
my lands and goods, both movable and immovable, during her widowhood, to keep
my children by her. If she marries, my estate is to be divided as follows: I
leave to my sons, Daniel and Joseph, all my lands and tenements where I now
dwell. If either die under age, his share is to go to my son William. But if
they both live, they shall pay to my son William, œ100 each. I leave to my
wife Sarah, and my son William, and my daughter Alice, all my movable estate
and household goods, except my riding horse, bridle, and saddle, and my gun,
which I give to my son Daniel. I leave to my grandson, Daniel Stillwell, all
the land I bought of Nelche Severin, and Johanes Severin, and Nathaniel
Britten, Esq. I make my wife and William Hillyer, Richard Stillwell, and
Matthew Reev, executors.

Witnesses, John Mitchell, Samuel Holmes, James Kierstede. Proved, October 9,
1727.
