Dorcas first married George Clark and had a daughter Sophia W. Clark in 1825 in Rensselaer Co NY, and a son Henry. George died young and Dorcas married Elijah Lake and moved to Lyons Wayne County NY. Sophia W. Clark married William Dunn in Lyons in 1842. Elijah and Dorcas appear to be living in Seneca County NY Romulus and Junius from 1830 to 1842 when they moved to Wyandot County Ohio. It appears that Junius and Lyons are only about 10 miles apart. Elijah Jr born in NY abt1832, daughter Ann Lake abt 1834 is listed in death cert. as being born in Lyons, but Census shows them living in Romulus and Junius Seneca Co NY, Catherine Celesta born abt 1839, Eleanor abt 1841 and Mary the last child was born in Ohio abt 1848. If anyone sees anything familiar please let me know. Would they have listed the closest town as place of birth even if it was in another county? Dorcas Sweet on! every census lists her parents as being born in NY. Just a theory but Dorcas was probably born in Ren. co or Albany co NY. Dorcas died in Oct 1887. Thanks,Kim
