Thanks for the additional information, Gerald. I learned of the Drake-Buchanan people within the past year; following up on a power of atty found in the Madison Deed Books from Joseph Drake's widow to her son-in-law, Pressley Anderson [Jr], led me to interesting new information on these people. No exact date found for Joseph Drake's death; his widow, Margaret Buchannan Drake [Holder]Jones received his 1785 land grant for 400 ac on Drowning Creek.

In regard to Joseph Drake's death, I have Margaret married in 1773 at the Town House in Chilhowie in Smyth Co, Va and moved to Ky and just a few months later was killed by Indians. Margaret moved nearer her brother William Buchanan and while living there she bore two or three illegitimate children of Capt. John Holder. She later married William Jones and lived and died in Franklin Co, Tenn. I descend from Col. James Patton through his daughter Mary who md William Thompson. Much documented data on this family line.
