Now in our fourth century : some American families : Paul wrote the book because there was nothing worthwhile in print concerning the early 18th century Drakes of Tidewater VA. It is a
documentary and pictorial history of some twenty-five families who were settled in the American Colonies before the year 1750, more than fifteen of whom arrived before 1700, and of more than 4000 of their ancestors, kin, and descendants. Of particular importance are some probable ancestors and many descendants of the brothers Thomas and Richard Drake of 17th Century Isle of Wight, VA, and the related families of Cole, Dimmit (Demmit, etc.), Freeburn, Fridley, Griffith (Griffen, etc.),
Hines, Hunt, Kitchen (Kinchen, etc.), Matheny (Metheney, etc.), Parker, Roberts, Snyder (Schneider, etc.), and more than sixty other associated lines. A family history that combines familiar elements -- charts, narratives, illustrations and photographs, with well-documented historical facts, resulting in a richly detailed, interesting family treasure. 1994, 586 pp., 8.5x11, illus., maps, appendices, and index. by Paul D.

A Gift of Family Spirit
Robert Drake's remembrances of the Drake family is a touching, humane celebration of depth in family and relationships. Drake's sensibilities carry the reader to the core of family connections which currently appear to be changing, if not lost. The reader cannot but experience some sense of grief in bearing with Drake on his journey into the past, but it is a grief that opens one to more of what it is to be genuinely human and alive to the spirit of true family life. Drake has been generous in his gift to the reader.
