My great grandparents were Dr. Jacob B. (1837 to 1885) and Amy Darby (1844
to 1923) Drake, they were listed in the
Jennings, Fayette, Indiana Census in 1880. Children listed were Agnes,
Mancy, (Harvaretta, my grandmother) Kate and
Annie. My grandmother married John Orville Royer in Pike County 3-8-1894,
Kate married John S. McCain in Pike Co. 7-26-1894 and Amy B. married
Clarence Hadlock 8-1-1896.
Then I found Amy listed in the 1910 Indiana Census in Pike County, Jefferson
Township as the head of household,
widowed, living with her were daughters Nellie G., Amy B. Hadlock and Kate
McCain, granddaughters Helena, Jessie G. and Mabel E. Hadlock.
Also the 1920 Census in Pike Co., Jefferson Twp., Amy was 75, living with
her were daughter Nell 43, granddaughters
Jessie 21, grade school teacher and Mabel 19, stenographer in law office.
I found that Dr. J.B. Drake is buried in Chappell Cemetery (no stone) and
Amy is buried at Otwell 100F Cemetery.
If anyone knows anything about any of my family, I would appreciate hearing
from you. Thanks.
