I am interested in information regarding Samuel Drake who left Windsor Ct. about 1650 for Fairfield Ct and then in 1663 to Westchester NY
Children were John, Joseph b. 1663 in Westchester, Rebecca, Samuel Jr., Hannah & Mary. There seems to be confusion about his parents that I show listed as John Drake and Elizabeth Rogers |

The two well-respected secondary sources that I have looked at briefly do not show a Samuel as son of John Drake and Elizabeth Rogers. See Frank B. Gay, Descendants of John Drake of Windsor, Connecticut, Tuttle Co., Rutland, VT, 1933, p. 3 and Henry R. Stiles, The History and Genealogies of Ancient Windsor, Connecticut, Hartford, CT, 1892, Vol. 2, p. 178. |

An additional well-respected secondary source, Robert Charles Anderson, The Great Migration Begins, New England Historical and Genealogical Society, Boston, 1995, 2000 (Ancestry.com CD), does not list Saumel as a son of Elizabeth Rogers and John Drake. |

In The Compendium of American genealogy, by Virkus, 1987 edition of Vol. IV, pg 619, the lineage of Samuel Drake d. 1686, Westchester NY is listed. Samuel, son of John who came to Boston 1630 m. Elizabeth who d. 1681 age 100 yrs, son of John of Plymouth Colony 1606.
This family is not to be confused with the John Drake m. Elizabeth Rogers son of William Drake, and who (John) rated a bio. on page 743 of the same book, while my John Drake of the Plymouth Company did not. Nor were they the same John Drake or there would have been a "qv" after his name which refers readers to the bio section. |

Hi Margaret, can't find any mentions of william b drake , Clara Fowler or Catherine Demuth. Found the surnmae Fowlwe and Denuth.
Best thing to do is join Bill Olivers great Drake List. Instructions are at;
http://www.xroyvision.com.au/drake/exchange.htm
This is a discussion area for anyone who has an interest in the surname DRAKE
and it's many spelling variations. If you are interested in exchanging information on
your DRAKE ancestors or ask questions about them - this is the place for you.
regards,
Roy Andrews |

Followup on an earlier message: The Drake DNA webpage found at Rootsweb http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~drakerobinson/DNAPages/DrakeDNA.htm
with a link on Roy Andrews page as well, shows that John Drake who died in 1659 is a stand alone lineage and unconnected to William Drake and Philippa Dennys which is proved by DNA. |
