(From The Drake Family in England and America as above):
THOMAS DRAKE was born in Cloyton, Devon County, England, where
the parish register still shows the record of his baptism September 13,
1635.... He was accompanied by his sister Joane, who mjarried Thomas
Randall, August 8, 1654..... Thomas Drake soon settled in Weymouth ,
Massachusetts, his name first appearing on the records of that town in a
list of property owners in 1663 in which he describes as owning "Lot 70
containing 60 acres in the 1st Division beginninge on Brauntry lyne" and
18 acres, Lott 33 in 2nd Division (Weymouth Historical Society, Vol II,
page 283). Prior ro that the latest list of land owners noted that as of
November 26, 1651 in which his name does not appear settled in
Weymouth after 1651 and before 1663.
The requency with which his name appears on land deeds and war
records of the time shows that Thomas Drake took an active part in
affairs of the town, his name occurs as witness on deeds December 15,
1664 (Suffolk deeds lib. IV, p. 277) and three years later he was a
memjber of the Suffolk Troopers. He took and active part in King Phillip's
War and June 24, 1676, was a member of the Garrison at Punckapouge
where he saw three months service (Bodge's Soldiers of King Phillips
War, p. 304).
Plymouth deeds record large land purchases by him July 29, 1682. Near
Taunton River in Freetown half of which he sold June 12, 1688 to Ralph
Paine of Rhode Island. He died in Weymouth 1691 and his estate was
settled in 1692. It was valued at 237 pounds sterling, 2 s., 2d., a
considerable sum at that time.
Thomas Drake married twice. His first wife was Jane Holbrook, dau. of
Thomas and Jane Holbrook of Mass. His second wife was widow

100 acres of land in Middleboro, called "Twelve Man's Purchase" (Plymouth Deeds, vol. XIVI,

Bingham, 1208 Emmons, Birmingham, Michigan) Mrs. Adeline Hunter Drake, wife of Walter, of Rush died at her residence on Monday August 22, 1881 in her 73rd year from cancer and pneumonia. Mrs. Drake and her brother, Mr. Hunter, ten years her senior, visited her daughter Mrs. Hiram L. Lewis, in this city five weeks ago. Both these aged persons are now dead; Mr. Hunter was buried in Birmingham three weeks ago, and Mrs, Drake was buried at the Goss school house on Wednesday. She was born in the state of New York, November 1808. When she was ten years old her parents moved to Detroit where they lived one year. At that time, 63 years ago, Detroit is said to have had only one brick house beside the court house. The family moved to Birmingham, where they remained for many years. She has also lived several years at Genesee County. Fourteen years since she came to Owosso to reside. She and her husband, with some of their children, finally settled in Rush where the balance of her life was spent. She was a faithful christian and an affectionate wife and mother. (The above clipping was pasted in a scrap book of clippings kept by Mr. Bingham's mother) OLDEST NATIVE OF COUNTY DIES Mrs. Cornelia Smith of Birmingham Passes. HAD REACHED AGE OF 93 Took Part in Eventful Scenes in Childhood. Went to Fort Dearborn With Parents When but Five Years Old Only White Child There (Special to the Press Gazette.) Birmingham, Oct. 11 - Mrs. Cornelia Smith, said to be the oldest native resident on Oakland County, died at her home on Hamilton avenue this morning, after several weeks' illness. She was 93 years old, and was born in Southfield township on Nov 25, 1823. Her father was Daniel Hunter, who five years later was sent by the government to what was then Fort Dearborn, later Chicago, to conduct negotiations with the Indians. The family according to family history, went to Chicago in a wagon, and spent several days on the trip, during which they did not see a white man's habitation nor a fire. It is recorded that she was the only white child at the fort at that time. Later the family returned to Oakland County and when she married Mrs. Smith's father gave her as a wedding present the beautiful brick house in which she lived and died, held to be the oldest brick house in Birmingham. Mrs. Smith was one of the charter members of the Library and Cemetary associations. Up to her death her mind was clear, she could read and sew without glasses, and a year ago made a gown for her great-granddaughter, who lives with her, entirely by hand. The funeral is to be held Friday at 10 a.m. from the late home, with interment in Greenwood Cemetary. Rev. Jamieson of Detroit will officiate. Surviving are three sons, Charles, at home, Oliver , of Plymouth, and Frank, of Los Angeles. (The above is a loose clipping. On the back is an advertisement for a farm sale 10/17/1916. Another ad mentions the Gaulder and Stewart warehouse at south Safinaw and Orchard Lake Ave.) C. McNish notes: Cornelia Smith is the daughter of Daniel Hunter. Daniel Hunter is the brother of Adeline Hunter mentioned in the previous obituary and the son of Elisha and Huldah (West or Wilcocks) Hunter. This is the end of the packet by Mrs. Helen Wallin.
