Notes:
Martha was descended from relatively wealthy landowners in England, her father being a Lake and her mother a Reade. Her aunt Elizabeth was the wife of Governor John Winthrop of Connecticut. A valuable connection which she brought to her marriage to Thomas Harris. Madam Rebecca Symonds, widow of Mrs. Harris' uncle by marriage, Deputy Governor Samuel Symonds, in her will made in 1695, left to "my cousin Martha Harris a good scarf of equal value with my best scarf." In the same will Martha's daughter Margaret was beqeathed by Madam Symonds, a gold ring and L3 in money. Martha's mother Margaret (Reade) Lake resided with Martha and Thomas in her later years.
