Notes:
* Everyone is the product of generations that have gone before, parents, grandparents and before them going back into a remote period of history. My goal is to find my history and this start with the "DRAKES" OF CASS COUNTY TEXAS". My mother daughter of McKinley W. Drake said George Drake was Irishs and Lawrenda was Indian????
