I would appreciate any information on any of the
following.
Robert, Benjamin & Jesse DRAKE arrived in Qearborn CO
in the late 1700's from KY. They were on the 1807
Indiana Tax List and were mentioned in several County
histories in IN. Robert and Benjamin moved to
Switzerland CO about 1821, and Jesse moved to Decatur
CO about the same time.
Robert DRAKE married Mary / Polly PICKETT, 11 July
1797, Franklin CO, KY, children: Lucretia, Enoch,
Rebecca, John, Dillard and possibly others. Robert died
June 1845. Polly d. 22 Sept. 1843.
Benjamin DRAKE married Hannah McCULLOUGH; he was on the
early Tax List in Clark CO, KY 1792-'96. He bought a
great deal of land in York TWP, IN and was a proprietor
of Florence, IN. Ben died in 1820; ch: Nancy,
Elizabeth, Sally, John, and maybe others.
Jesse DRAKE m. Jane ...; he ran a tavern in Decatur CO
until about 1845. He was with Ben in Clark CO, KY,
1794-'96; ch: John, Martha, Louisa, Benjamin, Dillard
and possibly another son whose name I don't know and
maybe others. Jesse and his children, John, Martha (who
married Wm. ROSS), and Benjamin all lived near each
other either in or near Greensburg, Decatur CO, IN from
Dec. 1821 until about 1845. Jane died around that time
and Jesse disappeared from records of that co, shortly
there after.
I would appreciate any information on any of these
people. Thanks.
