Hi Bruce, I have more detailed information on Susan Ann Drake and her ancestry. Her father, William Emory Drake was married 3 times and had 9 children. My son-in-law is descended from his oldest son, Stephen Hickman Drake. William's parents were Benjamin A. Drake 1785-1864 and Mary "Polly" Riley 1790-1848 Benjamin's parents were John Drake 1750-1825 and Rebecca Heady 1757-? John Drake is connected by DNA to the Drakes of Isle of Wight co, VA beginning with Richard Drake b abt 1615 in England, HOWEVER, there is no paper trail to this area of Virginia. Instead, he is most likely descended from another Richard Drake b 1630 who arrived in the Northern Neck of VA abt 1661. Both Richards came from the same area of England and the DNA connection probably goes back to England as well. Please contact me for more details. Art Baum
