    Notes:

    "The Descendants of John Drake of Windsor, Connecticut":

    The will of Francis Drake of Esher, County Surrey, England, dated 1633, has this bequest: "And unto John Drake my Cozen William Drake's sonne twenty punde to be sent unto him into New England in Comodityes such as my Executor shall thinke fitt" (43 Seager). Mr. henry Waters in his notes upon this will expresses the belief that this refers to John Drake of Windsor, Conn. Vivian in his "Visitations of Devon" makes the same assertion. With two such eminent authorities to support us we may trace the roots of the Drake family tree on English sol back to John of Ashe or even farther if our interest and time permits.

    Just when John Drake arrived in New England we do not know, but we find his name on a list of those to be made freemen Oct. 19, 1630 (Boston Record Commissioner's Report, Vol. 29, p. 133). For some reason his name does not appear upon any list made in Boston and of his activities during the next few years we know little. In 1637 John Drake's name appears among the forty-six purchasers of Taunton, but his sojourn there must have been very brief for in Matthew Grant's Record of the Church at Windsor, Conn., we find this entry, "Womin admited here - "ould wido Drake. feb. 23. 1639." Just why John Drake's wife (if it was she) should have been called an "ould wido" twenty years before she really became one, is difficult to understand. It is somewhat at variance with the record of her death Oct. 7, 1681, "hir 100 yer of age have liued a wido 22 y()." This record also might tax one's credulity. We gain from Matthew Grant the fact that the Drakes were in Windsor early in the year 1639. John Drake was granted fourteen acres, an homelot with meadow adjoining fro the plantation at Windsor, Conn., Jan. 26, 1640.

    "Aug. 17, 1659. John Drake Senior dyed accidentaly, as he was Driving a Cart, Loaded with corn, to carry from his house to his son Jacob's the Cattle being 2 oxen and his mare, in the high way against John Griffin's Something Scar'd the Cattle, and they Set a runing, and he Labouring to Stop them, by takeing hold on the mare, was thrown down on his face, and the Cart Wheele went over him: brake one of his Legs and bruised his body, so that he was taken up Dead, being carried into his Daughters house had Life come again, but Dyed in a Short time and was buried on the 18th day of August '59."
