| Henry Drake 'of Axminster', Mayor of Barnstaple in Devon (bur 12.11.1681 or d 1688) | |||||||||||||||
| Visitation (J.L. Vivian (1895), Devon, 1531+1564+1620+additions, 'Drake', p297), used for the continuation, provides little on this line but does identify Henry (bur 12.11.1681) as 'of Axminster' and shows his wives & children. The following is supported by BLG1952 ('Drake formerly of West Riddens') which reports that Henry ("4th son of Sir John Drake, Kt. of Ashe", d 1688) settled in Barnstaple. As BLG1952 reports that Henry had only 1 child (unnamed, died young) by his 1st unnamed wife, and Vivian does not mention the John who carried on the line but does show a child of the second marriage whose date of birth appears to be inconsistent with the date of that marriage, we are concerned in case BLG1952 has identified the wrong Henry. However, having previously held back from doing so, we now think it worth showing the following subject to that caveat. | |||||||||||||||
