Benjamin Harrison Lakes

BarbaraLoveMoss — 2011-04-26 02:26:48Z

My husband's grandmother was Rubina Lakes Miller. She married Alfred Lee Moss. Her father was Benjamin Harrison Lakes (1841 - 1932). He married a Cherokee woman named Emma Tell Long (1856-1924). The father of B.H. Lakes was Benjamin Garland Lakes (b. 1816 in VA). The following information has not been verified: The father of B.G Lakes was William Lakes (1768 - 1853). His father was William Lakes (1730-1783). His father was William Lax (1705-1775). All of these men lived in the western section of Virginia. There was a William Lax who was born in 1675 in Nottinghamshire, England who immigrated to Goochland, VA and died there in 1740. If any of this connects to your family, please let me know.

LAKES Carl 1922-2010 b. Kentucky

Lace_Lynch — 2010-10-20 13:25:40Z

CINCINNATI: Carl Lakes, age 87, passed away October 16, 2010 at the Alois Alzhmeimer Center in Cincinnati, Ohio. His wife Evelyn Inez (Barton) Lakes preceded him in death on April 13, 1988.

Born October 20, 1922 in Wind Cave, Kentucky to Carter and Julia Lakes, Carl lived in Bellville, Ohio for 53 years.
He worked as a tool & die maker with General Motors in Mansfield, Ohio. Carl was a charter member of the Immanuel Baptist Church in Hamilton, Ohio and attended Pleasant Grove Community Church near Bellville. He was an outdoorsman and an avid golfer.

Carl Lakes served with the U.S. Navy during WWII, and was reactivated to serve during the Korean War.
In 1947, he took part in Operation Highjump, under the command of decorated Rear Admiral Robert E. Byrd, Jr., as the United States Navy began exploration of the polar region that eventually led to established permanent bases in Antarctica. McMurdo Station, at the southern tip of Ross Island, the largest community on Antarctica, owes its history to Carl Lakes, and the men who served with him.

He is survived by his son and daughter-in-law, Stephen & Gayle Lakes of Cincinnati; granddaughter and her husband, Elizabeth & Robby Lann of Westerville, Ohio; great grandchildren, Jennifer, Christine and Robby Lann; his sister, Ruth Ponder; and his brother, Charles Lakes both of Hamilton, Ohio.

Re: Lost Family?

mwright1971 — 2010-03-26 01:38:32Z

I think also that there was a Rachael Lakes that may be related to her. And her son was born as Lonnie Lakes but had his name changed around 1928 to Lonnie Wright.

Re: Lost Family?

Re: Garland Lakes/Benjamin Harrison Lakes Family

I know it's been many years since you posted this, but I only found it today. My husband's ancestor was Garland Lakes. One of his sons was Benjamin Harrison Lakes who married Emma Tell Long, a Cherokee woman. Garland's other children were John Lakes, Ellick Lakes, James Lakes, Mary Lakes and Elizabeth Lakes. The children of Benjamin Harrison Lakes and Emma Tell Long include Rubina Lakes who married Alfred Lee Moss. I have more information about the next 4 or 5 generations from Garland Lakes if you think these are related to the persons in inquiry.

Re: sounds familiar

bluekentuckygirl — 2006-06-28 20:44:26Z

This sounds very familiar to me also. I have a Fred Lakes that is my great grand uncle. I do not have much information about his children and granchildren but do have information about his parents and grandparents if he is the same Fred Lakes. I have him with brothers named James (Jim) Lou and George Matt (as well as several other siblings). I have a photo of these three and another brother, Jerry (Thomas Jeremiah) together. They are sons of Jacob Lakes and Eliza Ann Johnson.

Re: Paul Lakes

bluekentuckygirl — 2006-06-13 13:40:41Z

I believe the Paul Lakes that you say is your birth father is the same Paul Lakes that is my great uncle. One bit of information from your posting does not match my information but all the other details are identical. The one difference I show in my records is that Paul Lakes was born in 1916 not 1915.

The list of siblings you provided is identical to the names of my uncles brothers and sisters so I am certain it is the same Paul Lakes.

One other bit of information I have is a list of his children's names that were listed in his obituary. It lists him as having a wife, Edith; 3 daughters: Agnes Perry of Richmond Indiana, Audrey Abbot of Flint Michigan and Patricia still at home.
Also 2 sons Harold of Elkhart and Paul Jr. of Richmond.

All his brothers and sisters are listed as survivors except for Chester who died in 1967.

He was born in Kentucky and spent a number of years in California and was living in the Richmond Indiana area when he died. He is buried at Goshen Cemetery in Richmond along with his parents, Jakie and Fama.

I have no idea of the whereabouts of his children except that his youngest daughter (at least of the ones I know), Patricia is living in the Winchester Indiana area.

I have heard that Audrey lived in Tennessee for a time but I am not sure of her whereabouts now.

I hope this information is helpful. Good luck in finding your half sisters!

Re: Paul Lakes

bluekentuckygirl — 2006-06-13 13:40:41Z

I'm glad you got the message I posted. After it was posted I noticed the date on your post was over a year old and was afraid you may not even be checking the message boards anymore. I am sorry to say that at this moment I can't remember Patricia's last name. I do have a couple of sources that may have the information and will check with them as soon as possible and let you know what I find out.

If you are interested I do have a couple of photos of Paul and some of his kids. The photos are old but I thought you might like to have them. I also have a copy of his obituary. I could e-mail them to you if you want. If you want them either post your e-mail address here or send me an e-mail at clashell@insightbb.com

Good luck with your search!

I am new in this search, would really appreciate any help (suggestions,information, sites, etc)you would be willing to share. I am 59, and the furthest back I know my family is Hamilton Ohio, where my dad was born. He was the son of William and Retha (Reed) Lakes. They came to Ohio from somewhere in Kentucky (Eastern, I think).

Lakes family

DeeLakes75 — 2006-03-06 22:16:07Z

Talk about coincidences...I have a brother named David. I just started in this search and have gotten side-tracked several times, but am back at it now. I recently took my uncle to Jackson County Ky. Everywhere I have ever lived, there were usually no "Lakes's". Well, after telling people in Jackson County what I was doing, one man said, "Well, if you're looking for Lakes's, you're in the right place. If you get the Lakes' vote in this county, you can win any election. Anyway, my family came from the Carter Lakes "clan" and their gravesite is on Lakes Creek Road, near Wind Cave (a "spot", rather than a town). There is a b&b in an log log home built by Elihu Lakes, and the cemetery is behind there. There is also a large Lakes' cemetery at the end of Lakes' Creek Road. My great-grandfather, Lewis Lakes brought his family to Hamilton, Ohio. He was married to Cynthia Isaacs Lakes. His son, William was my grandfather. William married Retha Reed. My father's name is Harold. If this connects in any way, let me know.

lakes' ancestors

DeeLakes75 — 2006-03-06 22:16:07Z

I have only begun my search, but it looks like I am also a desendant of John Lakes (don't know about the "P"). My great grandfather was named Lewis, a son of John. They are from the Carter Lakes group in Jackson County. There is a Carter Lakes' cemetery behind the Elihu Lakes log home (b&b) on Lakes Creek Road that I haven't visited, but plan to. John was a son of Carter (I think). Lewis left Jackson County and moved to Hamilton Ohio. His son William was my grandfather. Lewis was married to Cynthia Isaacs. I have more if you think this is the "right" John. My e-mail address is jlakes@neo.rr.com

lax (lakes)

DeeLakes75 — 2006-03-06 22:16:07Z

From Cindy's Lists, Swiss Link, there is a map of Switzerland showing an area in the north called "Laxx". Quick summary: Laxx was a part of the sovereignty of the District of Ilanz (Romansh:Glion). The name Ilanz/Glion goes back to the Celtic it-landa=granery, and is therefore characteristic for the fertile basin of the vally. In the late Middle Ages the old Dutchy split up into a number of small sovereign districts, which by teh 14th century had all been taken by the Barons of Belmont and united with these large possessions against the Dukes of Werdenberg-Heiligenberg in 1352. An exception in the development described was made by the commune of the "Free Men of Laxx, who went their own way. Now I know this is the true origin of the Lakes's :-).

Re: No way!

2004-11-05 00:20:25Z

I have just read your post and find it very interesting. My mothers; maiden name was Harrison. Her dad, Green Franklin Harrison was from Jackson County Ky. In the late 1940's my family moved to Jennings County Indiana. Also in the early 50's my grandfathers step mother, along with most of her sons and daughters moved to Connersville Indiana. I know from doing research that the Harrisons, Isaacs, Lakes, and Gabbards are all interrelated. Interesting enough, only recently have I made contact with that part of the Harrison family after many years of no communication at all.

She died July 29, 1917 of Tuberculosis. Her older brother, Green Franklin Harrison was my grandfather. Not much was said of her in stories handed down through word of mouth. Any information would be helpful. I have pictures of my grandfather, his other sister, Rachel Jane Harrison and his only brother, John Lewis Harrison. No pictures of Deliah.
