Descendants of David Grassett Drake
This is another Drake Family with Knapp connections. This information is based primarily on the research of Elizabeth Horton, who deposited her research notes in the Orange Co [NY] Genealogical Society in 1936. This information is not of my personal research and has been shared with me by Mrs Nancy Bello, Port Jervis, NY, who has Drake Lineage, and too whom the credit for this writing rightfully belongs. - The Desk of Fritz
