Research Notes
Chloe is referred to as the "only daughter of Job" in her wedding announcement to Olney Whipple 18 Aug 1820. [5] It is possible or even likely that this should read: '...only daughter of Job & Ada...'

"Laphams in America" (compiled and written by Bertha Bortle Beal Aldridge, Victor NY 1932-1953) pg 69 has Job's second wife as Hannah Dake. While better than many family genealogies "Laphams" is good but it's still not100% accurate. Unfortunately your # 4 source is to Job & Ada's marriage not Job & Hannah's so there doesn't seem to be an answer here to Lewis or Dace. Do you have any more on this family? I'm currently working on a great granddaughter of Job & Hannah's and I'd like to confirm her line.
Stay well, Jennifer
