Angharad Lake was born on September 27, 1836 in Llanguicke, Glamorganshire, Wales, currently named Brynamman, Carmarthenshire, Wales. Her parents were John and Catherine Lake. She married Thomas Walters on December 25, 1856 in Y Bettws, Carmarthenshire, Wales. From this union Thomas and John Walters were born. Her husband Thomas died on December 18, 1959, a week before Christmas, a week before their third wedding anniversary, and while Angharad was pregnant with their second son John, who was born in 1860, in Llandilo Fawr (Brynamman), Carmarthenshire, Wales.

This company was partly responsible for developing Los Angeles from a pueblo into the city it is today.
On an interesting sidenote, Angharad Lake and her brother-in-law David Llewellyn's older brother Reese Llewellyn appear to have beeen living in the same household (Mount Pleasant) in 1851 in Brynamman, Wales, Reese as a lodger and Angharad as a servant. Reese was the first Llewellyn to immigrate to the United States, settling in San Francisco, California. Reese's brother David and David's immediate family later followed.
In 1894, Hannah and some of her family went back to Wales and accompanied William, Angharad, Mary Hannah, and Rees to the United States. On October 7, 1894 they sailed from Liverpool to New York, New York, aboard the Teutonic. They arrived in New York on November 15, 1894. Angharad's two older sons (Thomas and John "y Dŵr" Walters) were in their 30's, with families, so they stayed behind in Wales.
Angharad and her family lived at 926 E. 8th Street, in Los Angeles, California. William James passed away on February 17, 1909. Angharad Lake-James passed away on November 16, 1913.
