Hi Roy!

Thought I would update you with my recent findings on my various Francis Drakes. After doing the DNA test, we found that Dan Drake and my line are a match. In re-reading some microfilm papers I found a connection to Dan's gggreat grandfather. He had written letters in 1880 concerning his Drake line. The Orange Co. DAR had saved and microfilmed them. Our Drake line is as follows:

Francis Drake married unknown Swartwout. They lived at or near Chester, Orange Co., NY. They had the following children:
Peter
Joshua
Samuel
Julia
Sally
Betsey
Catherine
Jemima
Francis II
Francis Drake II married Betsey Elizabeth Seely April 4, 1808 at Ovid, Seneca Co., NY. They lived at Dansville, Steuben Co., NY. Their children are:
James Seely Drake
George W. Drake
Thaddius Drake
Jonas Drake
Mary Drake
Minerva Drake
and possibly my Francis Peter Drake

We do not have any solid dates yet on the children of Francis Drake I. We believe that Francis Drake II was born about 1780 or so. He may have been married prior to his marriage to Betsey Seely. Could you please post this to the inquiry listings? We are hoping that we might connect with someone who is researching the children of Francis Drake I.
