From: Katie Kelly Date: Wednesday, April 05, 2000 9:24 PM Dear Mr Andrews, My name is Katie Kelly, and i've just started researching my family history. I asked my Grandmother for any information that may help my search. She sent me some information either her cousin or her mothers cousin had sent her when he was researching. All she had was info about Edwin Harvey Drake ( born 6/16/1841, in Mansfeild, Mass) which I think was my Great-Grandmother's father, her name was Myrla Mae Drake ( born in Eau Galle, Wis). In these pages was a note, asking families to fill out some info so he could complete a family history. On the note it says he had a lot of luck, and the records show that we "are direct decendents of the original JOHN DRAKE of the House of Ashe about 1360..." it also says that it traces back to to THOMAS DRAKE who came to the U.S in about 1635. I haven't gotten really any where since I have started, but I did find your web site and really found the history of the people and the estate very interesting. If you have any information you think I could use I would greatly appreciate it. My e-mail address is IrishEys80@aol.com Thank You very much, Katie Kelly
