From: Roy Andrews Subject: [DRAKE-L] John Drake c 1560 - after 1619 : Drake Roll Call Date: Monday, April 10, 2000 1:48 PM Hi Barb and Drake Exchange members. 1.My earliest ancestor is a John Drake born c 1560 in Broomfield or Pitminister, Somerset and he was still alive in 1619 when he signed the" protestant roll" in Churchstanton, Devon. 2. 3 known children were Thomas,John and Mark ( d 1632). Some of the Drake villages were Teignmouth, Churchstanton and Yarcombe. In 1910 a local clergyman in Devon stated that " this line of Drakes was lineally descended from the Senior line" but we don't know if it was the Admirals brother or the Ashe Drakes, hopefully time will tell.
