Genealogical and Biographical Account of the Family of Drake in America: With Some Notices of the Antiquities Connected With the Early Times of Persons of the Name in England (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Genealogical and Biographical Account of the Family of Drake in America: With Some Notices of the Antiquities Connected With the Early Times of Persons of the Name in England And now, after a period of full twenty years, through which I have been constantly watching, collecting and wait ing for facts to enable me to compose a complete account of my immediate ancestors, I have sat down to give an abstract of what I have, during that time, been able to bring together. Not to publish it, but to put it into the hands of such of my friends and relatives as take an interest in such enquiries that by this they may see where I still want information, and to prompt them to communicate it, if in their power. I have written a multitude of letters of enquiry 3 to many of which no answers have been received, while to others the replies have been all that could have been expected. Many persons with whom I have conversed with the hope of gaining information, seemed to have been ignorant even of the story of the 'three Brothers' or that they had an ancestor beyond their grandfather, of whose baptismal name, too, they were often ignorant. Yet there are several gentle men of the'name in different parts of the country to whom I gladly acknowledge my indebtedness, for the promptness with which they have responded to my enquiries, and who have shown by their communications, that it was not for want of interest or ability that they have not answered me as fully asi desired. But in this slight acknowledgment I will not withhold the names of daniel drake, M. D. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

First published in the Register in 1860, this volume, much like Hotten's The Original Lists of Persons of Quality, compiles passenger lists and other documents from the British Archives relevant to early migration to New England.Although some of the contained transcriptions may overlap with Hotten's work, it is important to review this volume for additional information and research avenues, and to compare and/or confirm how a name appears.An influential figure in the early years of NEHGS and editor of the Register off and on between 1847 and 1861, Drake and his works continue to be a go-to source for researchers of early New England. Includes comprehensive indexes by passenger, person, place, and ship.
