I did find these marriages in the IL Marriage index. The last one is suggestive, but the date is way off. The 2nd one is not in White Co. but could be a Harvey b. 1871. The first one is too early, wrong co. and wrong initial for Rosa P. I didn't see anything like a possible Rosa Bowles.

I am very interested in your Drakes. Noah Willis b.in White Co 1879, was reared by a Rosa Drake after his mother died in the 1880s (?). One of his daughters was named Rosa Pearl, or Pearline, supposedly for this woman. Noah md. Melvinia "Millie" Tucker in 1899 and moved to NE Arkansas . I have been unable to find a Rosa Drake in White Co, but if your dates are about right, your Rosa and her husband would not have been much older than he was. Have you ever heard of any connection between your Rosa Pearl and a Willis family? kportue@telocity.com wrote: I'm looking for a Harvey Drake born in Emma Township, IL, around 1871.
