Drake (sp. Helen Bean); he was the son of Rosa Pearl Bowles Drake Lawson (wife of Harvey, Jr.). After Harvey Jr's. death, she married William Jefferson Lawson and they moved their families to Canalou. I would love knowing and receiving any information of the Drake family. I don't know anything about the DNA Surname Project but have an interest in learning more. Thank you. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
