From: Shirley Date: Tuesday, January 23, 2001 4:26 AM Searching for Mary DRAKE dob. Unknown m. to Abraham PIERSON dob.ABT. 1589 s/o Richard PIERSON and Johanna HARWOOD of St. Mary's Aldermey, England. Thanks Shirley This DRAKE line is really crossing a lot of paths. I started searching my son in laws HAWLEY line when he said he heard he was descended from Sir Francis Drake (which I have found was childless), but in the process, I not only found a lot of drakes in the HAWLEY line, but they are sitting over there in my KNAPP line. I just don't know why we don't just make this world one big happy commune, since we sure are all mixed up with each other anyway
