Frances Anne Burdett (Lake) - Merge in progress involving this early Virginia family

Erica Howton You may want to weigh in too. I don't think there is evidence for these Lake parents. Am I wrong? I would detach her. It feels wrong to me. I'm a Lake descendant. She would be my 9th great aunt, if she were their daughter.

She was married three times -- Blore or Blower; Sanders; Burdett

Also her name is not Frances Anne, but Frances / Francis.

In conclusion - I would detach her. I would put Lake or Leake as a possible maiden name but not attach her to any parents unless one of the managers or you two can bring new, primary evidence for her parents.

Where’s her first husband?

“Francis (Frances), who married ancient planter, John Blore (Bloar, Blower), came to Virginia in 1620 on the London Merchant. On February 16, 1624 she was living on the Eastern Shore in a household headed by her husband. Also present was their child, John II. In Early 1625 John and Francis Blore were still living on the Eastern Shore, on Old Plantation Creek (73). The household included two servants, but the Blores child John II was no longer present, probably because he was deceased. In 1625 Francis Blore was age 25. Sometime prior to March 14, 1628. Francis was widowed. She married mariner Roger Sanders (Saunders), whom she also outlived, and sometime after September 16, 1633, she wed William Burdett, who executed a prenuptial agreement. When Francis Blore Sanders Burdett made her will on March 23, 1641, she made bequests to several individuals.”

I haven't added a first husband yet :) Packing for another trip.

Miles Files says her first name was Lake: http://espl-genealogy.org/MilesFiles/site/p846.htm#i84581

She had at least five siblings back in England: "Edward Lake, Richard Lake, Jane Lake, Margarett Lacke, and Ellinor Lacke (my brothers and sisters)" - will of Frances Burdett 1641.

Her three husbands were John Blore (Blower) c. 1598-1628, Roger Saunders c. 1600-c late 1637, William Burdett 1600-1643. One known child, William Blore/Blower, who apparently predeceased her. William Burdett had been married before and had a son Thomas from that marriage.

Footnote: The Alicia who was William Burdett's third and final wife was the very-much-married Alicia Traveller-Burdett-Walker-Custis who was accused of child abuse and neglect in the case of the orphan Elizabeth Bibby. (Accusation *not* from Miles Files!)

I should never have merge on her father. I know that my information is correct and this through off my information. I tried to figure out how to unmerge but couldn't. Maybe you can be of some help there.

John Lake, I Has his children listed, a different family. I don’t think this was a merge issue.

Why did you take out all the information that I put in my tree yesterday. All my information is correct. Now I have to spend a lot of time putting them back. Also Frances Anne Lake was only married once. Now you have a first husband. I would appreciate you leave my line alone. I also will not combine anyone again.

Private User I think we may be talking about different people?

This Francis was definitely married to 3 men.

Which child do you descend from ?

Please don’t re - enter, these profiles have been on Geni for many years.

Sir John Lake what’s your source, please?

John Lake, I Did not have a daughter Francis or Frances.

He did have an Anne - bap. Feb. 10, 1604/5, North Benfleet, Essex.

That was his youngest child.

Is it your claim that this Ann = Francis ?

A birth date of 1604 is probably too late for this Francis. She was a married woman in 1620.

“"I can't find any reference to Frances Leake/Lake as that being her maiden name...the ship list for 1620 London Merchant lists her as Francis Blore, wife of John on the Starr...I think the info comes from the Muster Roll (APP, p. 70), when they were asked how they came...so she just gives her married name...I don't think the original ship list for the London Merchant is available, just reconstructed from the Muster ....”

This profile looks in the wrong place.

Please explain where you see that John Lake, I had a daughter Frances born 1600 who came to Virginia.

The genealogy of this family is well known; it’s been on Geni since 2007. Hatte Blejer on hiatus Is a direct descendant, that’s why she “caught” the issue.

Not only was there no Frances, descent was New England Puritans.

If there’s something we don’t know, please explain.

Thank you.
