Hi Roy, My name is Donna M. Drake. I'm hoping you might be of some service to me or perhaps someone on your web site.

I'm researching 2 Drake branches:
1) My mother, Katherine Amelia Heller Patton is a great granddaughter of Abigail S. Drake Coldren. Abigail's husband, James M. Coldren is mentioned as a son-in-law of William S. Drake in William's will written in 1850. I'm trying to connect them with the John Drake family from Devon, England. I thought I had it back to Bernard Drake but from there I seem to have lost my information.

2) My husband is Everett Charles Drake born on Jan. 30, 1936 (he's a twin),in Provience, R.I., to Harold Garfield and Florence Bernice (Lincoln) Drake. Here's all I have on his father, Harold Garfield Drake born on June 11, 1900 in Foxboro, Mass. to John Drake (laborer from Boston) and Mary S. Wilbur (from Walpole, Mass).
I'm not having much success with my husband's side of the family. I know he had an uncle Danny and an aunt Jessie. His Uncle Danny lived in Warwick, R.I. and his Aunt Jessie lived in New York. I don't know if that's New York City or state.

I would appreciate any help you can give me. Here's my e-mail address dmduck55@bright.net
