I have a copy of the Henckel Genealogy and the only mention of "Drakes" is as follows: Two of the children of George (Rudolphus) and Anna Marie (Plummer) Hinkle (Henkel) are: Elizabeth Hinkle (Hinckle), born July 5, 1762; confirmed in Lutheran Church of Frederick, Maryland (page 210); married October 17, 1780 to William Drake (Recorded Frederick County Marriage Book 1), (See Scharf, Volume 1, page 428.)  Two (2) children. The 1810 Census of Allegany County, Maryland included Elizabeth Drake, widow, as living next door to George Plummer Hinkle. Sarah Hinkle, born February 10, 1763; died April 13, 1848; married Thomas Drake, born November 16, 1760; died January 19, 1844. Received portion of Father's estate. (See Deed Book A, page 262; Deed Book C, page 585. Allegany County, Maryland.) No known issue. Both buried in Drakes Valley Cemetery, Jefferson County, Ohio. Further in the book it gives the information on the two children of Elizabeth Hinkle Drake and William Drake: Edward Drake, married January 22, 1824 to Varlinda Beall (Allegany County Marriage Book 1). Alpheus and David Hinkle deeded land to Edward Drake in 1820 witnessed by George P. Hinkle, (Book K page 443 Allegany County, Maryland). Barsheba Drake, married April 30, 1816 to John Combs. (Allegany County Marriage Book 1). I am sorry, but that is all the information that is contained in my book. Hope this gives you a chance to get a copy of their marriage certificates, etc. Perhaps the parents of the Drake boys will be listed on the certificate and give you the information you need.

Hi!   I'm trying to figure out the maiden name(& parents) of my 3xgreat-grandmother Mary Drake who was married at some unknown time & place to William Drake,Jr. William Drake,Jr. was born circa 1784 probably in MD. the son of William Drake,Sr.& Elizabeth Hinkle. His parents appear in the 1800 census of Bedford Co.,PA. Sometime between 1800 & 1810 William Drake,Jr. married Mary ? William & Mary Drake appear in the 1810 census. In 1819 they moved to Harrison Co.,OH.   Did William & Mary Drake marry in Bedford County or the surrounding area?   Thanks for any help you can give me with this brick wall!   Pam Drake in IN. padrake@sbcglobal.net

Does anyone out there have any McDade or Donahue connections? I am trying to figure out Lawrence Joseph McDade/Donahue. He was born in Pekin 29 Apr 1882 to Ellen Begley, who was unmarried at the time. In the baptismal record, his name appears as Begley. His mother then marries Charles McDade and Lawrence goes by the name McDade. Lawrence marries Martha Ellen Buckalew in 1903 and they have three kids, Lawrence, Virginia and Eleanor. Martha died in 1909 and the kids go to live with their maternal gramma. Later that same year (geez) Lawrence married Matilda Riggleman and they have one daughter, Madalyn. In the WWI registration in 1918, his name appears as McDade, but by the 1920 Westernport census, his name appears as Larrie Donahue, Jr. and it appears he went by Donahue for the rest of his life. He and Matilda were married for over 50 years and spent the rest of their days in Westernport, buried at Philos. Their daughter, Madalyn, married Porter Lawrence Runner and lived in Cumberland. Here is his obit: "The Herald" Piedmont, West Virginia, Wed 1 Oct 1969: "Lawrence "Larry" Donahue, 87, of 303 Virginia avenue, Cumberland, formerly of Westernport, died Saturday at Memorial Hospital, Cumberland. Born in Nikep, Mr. Donahue was a retired B & O Railroad employee and was a member of the brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen and JUOAM, Council 3. He attended Central Assembly of God church. Twice married, both wives, Martha Buckalew and Matilda Riggleman, preceded him in death. Surviving are a son, Lawrence Donahue, of Keyser; two daughters, Mrs. Virgie Bobo, Youngstown, Ohio, and Mrs. Madalyn Runner, Cumberland; two sisters, Mrs. Genevieve Kelly, Akron, Ohio, and Mrs. Kathleen Patricianae, Baltimore; nine grandchildren, 19 great-grandchildren and two great-great grandchildren. Services were conducted today, Wednesday, at 1 p.m. at the Boal Funeral home, Westernport, Rev. Hartley Wigfield and Rev. Vincent Beemer, officiated. Interment was in Philos cemetery, Westernport. Pallbearers were Billy Bruck, Sonny Hoffman, James Runner, Roger Bosley, William Bosley and Thomas Landis." So my question is, can anyone explain the name change or who his father was. My guess is, that his father was the Lawrence Donahue (son of Lawrence Donahue and Bridget Mclarkie) who lived down the street from his mother in the 1880 Pekin census, but I am not sure.

Christine, I checked the Catholic Church records for your BALL and FURLONG names and didn't find anything so I assume your peeps were not Catholic.

Hi Christine, Jackson is just a part of Lonaconing where the present-day VFW stands. I sent you an e mail with some tips for researching in the Lonaconing area. I grew up in that area so let me know if I can help.

Jackson is the name of a street in  Coney, as well as a mountain close by. There are areas called Scotch Hill, Big  Vein Hill, Charlestown, Beechwood, Pink Row (where I lived growing up) and many  more. All are part of Coney.     There is a really good library downtown with a  history room. I would assume you could find general info there. Allegany College  (I'm not sure of the proper name these days) is located in Cumberland and  has a great collection of genealogy records including the Allegany Co. Genealogy  Library.     Your folks might possibly be buried in the Old  Coney Cemetery located in Knapps Meadow or Oak Hill Cemetery in Coney. There is  also a Catholic Cemetery in Coney.     I don't live in Coney and only go back every few  years. You can contact me offline if you need more info.
