Does this Drake belong to the same family that married into the Peak
family?
My abstracted will book shows James Drake's will of 4 Oct. 1808 lists a son
Thomas Drake and daughters Polly Foster and Eliz. Valandingham.
One Thomas Drake married Margaret Price 11 June 1839
and John Peak's will shows a daughter named Rachel Drake, who I thought had
married an earlier Thomas Drake. Maybe Rachel's husband was the one whose
estate is listed in Will Book B, 262 and 265. (prob. about 1815)
Rachel's sister, Molly Mulberry, is still to be identified adequately as to
which one of the Mulberry group she married.

These families get very tangled up, don't they?
