From: Kask37@aol.com Subject: [DRAKE-L] roll call John Drake born NC, or Va. Date: Friday, November 12, 1999 10:01 PM To the tune of Old Mc Donald, Old John Drake, he had a family; E I E I O. And in this family was another John; E I E I O. With a DAR Report here, and a Family Bible there; Here a CD, There a Ships List, Everywhere a brick wall; Old John Drake he had a family; E I E I Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Just had to inject that bit of humor. Here is my missing John Drake, looking for info on birth and parentage, hope we can connect, Kym In the Warren County, Ohio Census of 1850, It shows John Drake to be 56 years old, and Elizabeth (Golden, Goulding) to be 43. The 1860 census, same place, shows John to be 65 and Elizabeth to be 55 The 1870 census shows no JOhn, and Elizabeth to be 62 years old. Marriage records for that area show John and Elizabeth to have been married in Feb., 1821. Using the 1850 cenus, that would put John being born aprox. 1794. Just guessing of course. The 1850 census shows johns birthplace as Va., but the 1860 census shows it as N.C. I'm not sure if maybe at one time Va and NC were the same area, and maybe split later into 2 differnt states? Sure doesn't help much to track John down. All census's show Elizabeth to have been born in Ky.
