Hello, Roy! It has been quite some time since I last communicated with you. Suffice it to say, I have been making great strides in
identifying ancestors & locating living relatives. Still am having a struggle in determining my ancestral lineage
Per EBENEZER DRAKE.
[Good old’ Ebenezer.]
Due to the info I have located, resources I’ve come across, Relatives I’ve met & the likelihood of others out
there on the Same quest, I’d appreciate you posting this simple Inquiry & link. I will have my website up by JUNE 15th, if not sooner www.duckydrake.com
--- already have the domain.]
I spent several days in New Jersey tracking down leads,
Looking at tombstones & meeting people. This past
Fall, I Did the same in Nebraska. I’ve met over a dozen different
relatives In different locales.

My biggest challenge is trying to find out the lineage of
EBENZER DRAKE.
Limited records seem to indicate that he was named
After his father, Ebenezer ( born abt 1760).
Likewise, he might have been named after his Father, Ebenezer (born abt 1730).
Who was named after his father, Ebenezer ( born abt 1693).
As you can see, I
just need a little bit to make the “pieces” Come together.
The earliest Ebenezer’s
are found in other databases.
It is the 1760 & 1788 Ebenezer’s that have myself
& a few cousins
Stymied.
If any one can help provide some good info,
I’d gladly welcome it.
And, I am sure that I have some more cousins
out there.
