Ken, Broderbund WFT# 25 has a Lake family tree, but not many dates. There are a couple of Elizabeths there that could be in the right time frame for your Elizabeth, but no husbands are listed. As for Elijah Bowen, I don't know who he is; only that he is an apprentice learning the tailoring trade. He could be a cousin of the Lakes and/or the Clarkes. Let me know if you find out anything more. Susan -- Susan C.
