Powers-Banks Ancestry:
"This reference is found in the account of Sir Edward Lake, advocate general of Ireland, who was buried in Lincoln Cathedral in 1674. We are told that his brother, Thomas Lake, "married Mary daughter of Stephen Goodyer of London Goldsmith." Now this brother was married in America to Mary Goodyear and was slain by the Indians of Maine in 1676; his epitaph is in Copp's Hill, Boston. He was captain and his son Thomas inherited title and estate of Sir Edward Lake. Another fact concerning the Lakes: Anne, daughter to Captain and Mary Lake, was married first to John, grandson of the famous Rev. John Cotton, and on his death to no less a man than the Rev. Increase Mather of Boston. Mary appears to have been eldest child of Stephen and born about 1630. The genealogist says that the arms show that the Goodyears of England were all one family, but she points out no relationship to Sir Henry, the great friend of John Donne.
Stephen Goodyear was one of the company of Davenport and Eaton which landed in Boston 28 June, 1637, proceeded to New Haven in 1638, and there instituted their theocratic government. He was from the start prominent and engaged in foreign trade sometimes by himself, sometimes in company with Eaton and others. He was made deputy governor and thus second only to Eaton in magisterial influence. The most famous incident in his business career was his connection with the ill-fated phantom ship celebrated by Cotton Mather and much later by Longfellow. A chief purpose in the expedition was the securing a charter and perhaps it was in some connection with this that Mrs. Goodyear was on the vessel. After her loss Goodyear married the widow of Thomas Lamberton, the master of the ship. It was perhaps the loss entailed in this ship that began Goodyear's financial difficulties, a condition hinted at in the will of his father's friend Bowlton in 1649 and very clear in the settlement of estate when his debts amounted to over 2400.

Whiting Memoir:
Judge Thomas Whiting, as he was generally called, on account of his being commissioned and acting as a local magistrate of Middlesex County, married the grand-dau. of Capt. Thomas Lake, an eminent merchant, who was killed by the Indians in 1676. For a memoir of him, and a full genealogy of his family, written by one of his descendants, see "Appendix to Copp's Hill Epitaphs," by J. W. Thornton, Esq. By the marriage of Judge Whiting with Miss Lake, who was a great-grand-daughter of Gov. Goodyear of Connecticut (see Gen. Reg., 1851, p. 347), his family were for the second time connected with that of the Lakes: the first connection being through Ann Lake, daughter of Capt. Thomas Lake, who married Rev. John Cotton, father-in-law of Rev. John Whiting. Capt. Lake was descended from Hugh de Caley, who died 1286, and Agnes, daughter of Hamo de Hamsted (see Bentham's Baronetage, vol. iii., p. 153).
