List members, I recently discovered my DAVIS DRAKE McELROY COLE and POWELL families, and I believe they may all have been from the Orange Co. area. Certainly the DAVIS, McELROY and COLEs. Do you have any THOMAS DRAKEs or CAROLINE DRAKEs? Here are the deails on the elusive folks I am seeking. My predicament, is that I have a death certificate for my gg Grandmother, Hattie May DRAKE, that doesn't seem to fit the census. Her death certificate gives father as Thomas O DRAKE (b. NY) and mother as Caroline POWELL (b. NY) and Hattie May DRAKEs birth place is listed as Gibson,(Corning) Steuben Co. and it would have been ca. 1863?. Try as I might,... I haven't been able to locate a Thomas DRAKE and Caroline that seem to make sense. However, I did find a Mary DRAKE, widowed and head of household in Chemung, Chemung Co. in the 1880 census. In that household in my gg Grandmother Hattie Mae DRAKE, living next door to her future husband, Nathaniel DAVIS. I have a very strong suspicion that the Orange Co. DRAKEs who were early settlers to the Reading area of Schulyer Co. were the same family as my DRAKEs. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Michael Burnett mwburne@aol.com Cave Creek, AZ
