In my records I have a daughter of Thomas Drake (d 1831), Mary "Polly" Drake
(b 1803) married to Richard Pack.
Also have Lucinda Mulberry married to John Pack - brother of Richard.
Could it be PACK instead of PEAK????????

>> Dear Scott Listers,
>>
>> Sometime around 1796, James Francis Drake moved to Scott Co., near
>> Georgetown. His second wife was Winney____, by whom he had a daugher,
>> Mary (Polly) Drake, who married Isaac Foster.
>> James had a previous wife, named, I believe, Anne Nancy Bruce, whom
>> he married about 1767 in Culpeper Co., VA. She died after delivering
>> two children: Thomas Drake and Betsy Bruce Drake. Thomas stayed in
>> Scott, while Betsy Bruce married Lewis Vallandingham, and about 1829,
>> moved to Owen Co.
>> Family papers show that James Francis Drake was an infant when he
>> arrived from England in 1750 with his father, John Drake. They moved
>> around in VA for many years before James moved to Scott Co.
