Searching for info on marriage for Jacob Harrison AVERILL b.1826, he married abt. 1851 to Lois A. LAKE b.1830, according to an obituary, they married in LaSalle County, ILL, and their first child Samuel Frederick Averill was born 6 Apr 1852 in Mendota Twp., LaSalle Co., ILL. There may have been other AVERILL and LAKE families living in the county also. Some of their relatives, and Jacob's parents, Nathan AVERILL and wife Laura A. LAKE, were living nearby in Sublette Twp., LEE County, ILL. Laura A. LAKE Averill died 14 OCT 1850 in Sublette Twp., Lee, ILL, but she could possibly be buried in Mendota Twp., LaSalle County, ILL, as no burial record exists for her in Lee County. The family were members of the Baptist Church in Lee County, and also in Bradford County, PA, prior to moving to ILL in 1842. Thanks, Charlene K. ckknfk@kdsi.net
