Good morning, I have been out of town for a week, mixing business and pleasure (seeing my grand daughter and a UT Vols football game) and doing some research on my Robinson side and looking for documents relating to the James Boone massacre of 1773. BOONE MASSACRE Thanks to Charles Drake and Michael for leading me in the right direction. I now have copies of a Virginia Gazette article from 1773 reporting on the event and a transription of a PA Chronicle article. I hope to have a copy of that article this week. The PAC article identifies the Drake boy killed in the massacre as a son of Mr. John Drake. I will be ordering copies of depositions given to General Thomas Gage, who was working for the British Department of Indian affairs in the 1770s, from the library at the University of Michigan this week. Those depos are supposed to give the Drake boy's name as Samuel Drake. As soon as I get all of this together, I will post a brief description of the event and the scanned documents on my web site below. REV. JOHN DRAKE DNA We recently received the results for two descendants of Rev. John Drake of NJ and had exact matches! But not with its other!?? As my daughter would say, "whats up with that?" One donor gives his line of descent as John Drake, Joseph Drake, Ebenezer Drake, Ebenezer Drake. This test matches the Carter County Benjamin line exactly. The second donor gives his line as Cpt. Francis Drake, Rev. John Drake, Benjamin Drake and his test matches the Isle of Wight Drakes exactly. Problem is, they differ from each other on six of the twelve markers. I have corresponded with FamilyTreeDNA and there is no way that both donors are descended from Rev. John Drake of NJ. Here is what we need to help straighten this out. We need donors who are descended from as many of Rev. John Drake's sons as possible. When those results are in, we should see them matching one (hopefully) of the two current JD donors. This is something we really need to get worked our so please, if you are descended from Rev. John Drake or know of someone who is, then please help us out. Thanks, Don Drake -- Donald E.
