I am a descendant of Elijah Drake of whom is in the 1850 Pa Census married to Rahamma. Recently I discovered his marriage record in early Path Valley Presbyterian Church records of Franklin County. 1823. It appears to me that there are other researchers hung up on this same family, in the same area. I am working on an idea that Asher Drake is the father of these Drakes in this part of Pa. His sons being (at least) Elijah,Christian,Phillip,Jacob and possibly Asher. There is also an Abraham that seems to fall within all this mix. Those I have named report that they (in most cases) were born in N.J. and appear to show up in Pa.at the same time. Throughout the decendency of the family lines an Asher is sometimes named. If anyone can prove/disprove any of this,please reply or e-mail ebbankes@yahoo.com
