Hi Barb and Drake Exchange members. 1.My earliest ancestor is John Drake born 1564 in Devon ,UK and died in 1640. His known brothers were Edmond, Richard and Roger Drake. John's three known children were Thomas,John and Mark ( d 1632). I descend 14 generations down from Mark Drake. Some of the Drake villages were Teignmouth, Churchstanton, Braunton and Yarcombe. The Australian branch was established when my 2x great, Edward Drake migrated to Australia in about 1854. thank you, Roy Andrews Drake Page http://www.users.bigpond.com/LRANDREW/drake/drakepage.htm email LRANDREW@onaustralia.com.au |
