    Notes:

    Source:"Side-lights on Maryland History: With Sketches of Early Maryland Families" by Hester Dorsey Richardson, page 185

    "Captain Henry Lake, son of Henry Lake, Sr., was commissioned captain of a company of Dorchester County militia in 1776. Some years later he was appointed judge or justice of Dorchester County, and in the year 1797 the important office of High Sheriff of the county was bestowed on him. Captain Henry Lake married Rhoda Jewett in the year 1762 and had, among the other children, a handsome daughter named Lovey [Lavinia] -- a name suggestive of the winsomeness which, added to her high spirit, made her a great belle.

    An interesting family tradition, in which Lovey was the heroine, tells of her defiantly resisting the attempt of a British soldier to take off her silver shoe buckles. It appears that the marauding party set fire to the Lake house to take revenge on the pretty Lovey, who, however, not only extinguished the fire, but made her escape through a back window, never stopping until she reached her father's company of soldiers, who put the British ruffians to flight, glad to escape in their boats without their fair prisoner. The mother of this daughter of the Revolution also suffered in the cause, receiving a bayonet wound in the arm while resisting the capture of her husband."
