Date: Monday, 21 June 1999 3:01 Roy, I visted your site. Great! I have Drakes on both sides of my family, in New York State, USA. I would like to add some of these names and surnames, if it is appropriate: TAYLOR WHITING BRIGLIN THURBER RELYEA PALMANTEER DAVIS All these Drakes were from the Dutchess Co. area of New York State and then to Steuben Co., NY State. I also have some Drakes in the Southern Tier "area" of New York State. That would be Hattie May Drake who married Nathaniel DAVIS in Elmira, NY: 26 Nathaniel DAVIS. Born Feb 1848. Died About 1920 in Elmira, NY. 27 Hattie Mae DRAKE. Born Mar 1849. Died About 1918 in Elmira. Here are the Drakes on the "other side" of my family.
