From: Sandy Date: Thursday, January 27, 2000 9:34 PM Hi. I'm kind of new at this. I have several Drakes in my family tree, all in North Carolina. Temperance Drake was married to George Cooper. Their son, Neverson W. Cooper (born 1824 died 1884), was married to Martha (Patsie) Battle (born 1832 in Nash Co., died 1871). Richard Drake and Penelope Bridges (approximately 1660-1770) had a daughter, Martha Drake. Martha married Jacob Williams (born 1811 in Isle of Wight Co., Va.). Their son, John Williams, was the great grandfather to the above mentioned Martha (Patsie) Battle. How do I find out more about these folks? Any information would be appreciated. Thanks, Sandy
