Bravo! If there are lies on the social security card application, it is obvious where they originated! Okay, two brothers (Monroe and Oscar) have been connected. A third, Thomas Andrew Drake (16 Sep 1886 - 11 Nov 1969) has errors on his death certificate regarding parents. One possible "connector" is his birthplace: Granger, Williamson, TX. Monroe's death certificate indicates he was born in Andice, Williamson, TX. That's the location of this family's early beginnings? Additional support can be found in 1910 Williamson-Precinct 2-District 119-Image 11. The surname incorrectly interpreted as "Leake" along with given names for: Thos (Oheo), Monroe (Morine), and Henry (Louis). Shoulda hired me? Even my tired old eyes can do better! Okay! Back to essential matters. At some point in time, Jack Monroe Drake became Monroe Carol Drake? He registered for WWI Draft In Hill County as Jack with same birthdate, 11 Dec 1895. The brothers must no! t have been patriotic 'cause he was the only registrant found. The fourth brother was William Henry Drake-SSDI: 18 Feb 1899 - 6 Jul 1994. His wife Ida L. also listed on SSDI: 1 Mar 1904 - Oct 1989. Both received last benefits in Belton. In 1930 Bell-Precinct 7-District 33-Image 8, find Tom A. Drake(44) living with younger brother William H.(32). Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
