Could you please post the additional Census information that you have on these two Jacob Lakes? I would like to try to figure this out too. I'm still not sure that they are not one and the same person. The Lakes family lived on the Rockcastle/Jackson Co. border so it would have been easy for one of them to be enumerated in Jackson and Rockcastle Co. I also find it curious the the information on the 1880 census for them is so similar. Could Jacob have again been enumerated twice and the info garbled?
