Excerpt from A Genealogy of the Lake Family of Great Egg Harbor, in Old Gloucester County, in New Jersey, Descended From John Lake of Gravesend, Long Island: With Notes on the Gravesend and Staten Island Branches of the Family Only those who have done similar work can appreciate the labor and difficulty involved in such an undertaking, but the result is here presented to the indulgence of the family. If it is not the adequate record of the lives and accomplishments of the family that the compilers hoped might result from the pam phlet before alluded to, it at least includes much data and many facts of interest that would otherwise soon fade from memory and so be forever lost. No one will be so keenly aware of the incompleteness and inadequacy of the work as the compilers. But the work has been with them a labor of love, and they have done what they could. They trust that no other apology or defence will be needed. It remains for them to express their appreciation to all who have helped by their labor and counsel in the work. First, should be remembered those men to whom is due the credit for the origin and the continuance of the annual reunions. The Rev. Dr. S. Wesley Lake has been President from the be ginning; the Rev. Dr. James E. Lake, Historian, and Mr. Wil liam Lake, Secretary. The work of the Rev. James E. Lake, especially in tracing the line back to William Lake, should not be forgotten. His collection of data has been of no small assist ance in the work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
