I just started researching the DRAKE line and I have had so much conflicting info. I used Family search.com, genealogy. com and looked up some census records and my info says the New Jersey Drakes are descendants of the England Drakes. But I have run into some info that says they are from Ireland. I am looking for ancestors of Reuben Golden Drake born Nov. 27 1825 and married Matila Ann Sanders. Reuben was from Hunterdon, New Jersey married in Perry , Ohio and was burried in Wisconsin. Is their 1 website that has more accurate info than another. If my info is correct I have traced the Drake family back to Nicholas Le Drake born 1275 in Great Waltham, Essex, England his wife's name was Agnes and that is all I have been able to find. Any help or suggestions would greatly be appreciated.THX Yvon chapman@mwt.net |

Seeking data on Mary Drake born Mansfield Woodhouse, Nottingham, England in the early 1700's. Looking for her data & pedigree.
She married Richard Bowlby in New Jersey in the mid 1700's. They had 13 children all born in Mansfield [Woodhouse], NJ between 1750-1779.
As a Loyalist family they removed to Nova Scotia, Canada after the Revolutionary War - abt 1783 where they settled and died, Richard Bowlby died Nov 1818 near Lawrencetown, Nova Scotian and Mary (Drake) Bowlby died 1784 in Bricton, Wilmot, Nova Scotia. |

One of my “cousins” came up with this information which he has sourced to the World •••••••••• on Ancestry to which I don’t have access and also t the following family search links. Previously all the Bowlby records have not shown any parentage for Mary..
Parents of Mary Drake baptized 15 April 1718 are
