Notes

"a publication by Jo While Linn, C. G. who had mentioned the ancestry of a Martha Joanna Williams (Drake) Arrington who was born in Nash County, NC on 26 December 1795. It was reported from her accounts that her family was descended from the brother of Sir Francis Drake. According to her accounts, her father, John Hodges Drake, was supposed to have remembered his grandfather, and that his grandfather was this brother of Sir Francis Drake. However, my study of the research of other Drake investigators and my own research has shown that John Hodges Drake was a descendant of Thomas Drake, brother to John, both of whom were the supposed sons of Richard Drake and his wife Thomazine. John Hodges Drake was married to Frances Williams, who was a Drake descendant of John, brother to John Hodges ancestor, Thomas. I am wondering if the Arrington Papers at the North Carolina Room of Wilson Library in Chapel Hill, are the bases for the seemingly in error
attachment to a brother of Sir Francis Drake. I have found no document to validate that the brothers, Thomas and John Drake, were in fact brothers to Sir Francis Drake."

JOHN HODGES DRAKE, SR. .. John Hodges Drake, Sr. died in Auburn, Alabama on Sunday the 11th day of December 1859, in the ninety-third year of his age. The deceased retained his health and physical powers in an uncommon degree until the 1st day of December 1858 when he had the misfortune to receive a fall by which two of his ribs were fractured and his system, generally, so shocked as to render him entirely helpless for the remained of his life... John Hodges Drake was born in Edgecombe (now Nash) County, North Carolina, January 29th, 1767. Although he was too young to take part in the struggle for Independence he was reared in the days that tried men’s soul’s and with the example of his father and elder brothers, who periled their lives in the cause, he early imbibed those principles of patriotism and love of right and justice, that characterized his life. The writer has often heard him recount many stirring incidents of revolutionary times and loved to see his noble countenance lit up with the fire of patriotism as he would relate them. One incident especially at which he was an eye witness, seemed to warm his whole soul with fire. It was the attack on his father’s house in 1781 by a Captain Beard and his band of Tories, briefly alluded to in Wheeler’s History of North Carolina. In this attack his father, a brother and two neighbors, contended hand to hand with Captain Beard and his company of over fifty tories until they were overcome and cut down, their bodies covered with wounds. Major Drake lived in his native county, Nash (formed from Edgecombe in 1777), for more Than seventy-five years... He served in the North Carolina Legislature in the House of Commons from 1792 to 1796, and in the Senate in 1800 and 1805. He was for more than thirty years Clerk of the Superior Court of Nash County... Major Drake was a Master Mason. He was initiated into the Order in the town of Halifax, North Carolina near seventy years ago... sixty years ago he made a profession of religion and was baptized in Swift Creek, near Maine’s Chapel, Nash County, North Carolina ... After his death on Sunday his body reposed in the house of his son-in-law Maj. J.F. White, where he died, until the Tuesday following. On Tuesday morning an appropriate funeral discourse was pronounced by the Rev. MB. Hardin, Pastor of the Baptist Church at Auburn. His remains were then taken in charge by the Masonic Fraternity and borne to the depot where the last sad honors, peculiar to the Order, were performed. it was then placed on the cars and attended by a number of his children and friends, it was safely conveyed to the house of his son, Dr. John G.F. Drake, Nash County, North Carolina, arriving there on Thursday evening... From: “Marriage and Death Notices From the South Western Baptist Newspaper”
(Alabama and Mississippi).

Writing to his half-nephew, Benjamin M. Drake, of Washington, Mississippi, from Auburn, Alabama, on Sunday, 11 December 1854, Dr. John Hodges Drake said: "I will give you the tradition of the Drake family in this country, as I received it from old Matthew Drake, who was a merchant and trader in Virginia. He said about two hundred years ago or more, three young men by the name of Drake came into the mouth of the James River, from Old England.
One of them settled in Southhampton County, Virginia; one of them to the north, say Rhode Island, and the other went south, say to South Carolina.
They claimed to be descendants of Sir Francis Drake who sailed around the world. From that branch of the family that settled in Southhampton sprang all the Drakes that peopled North Carolina and Virginia. Out of fifteen brothers and sisters, I am the only one living, being 85 yrs old the 29th of last January, born 1766."

Dr. John Hodges Drake served as Justice for Nash County in 1797-98, 1803-07, 1810, 1823, 1836-39, and 1950-53. In 1792-98, he and Joseph Arrington and others represented Nash County in the North Carolian legislature. He also represented Nash County in the Senate 1800-1805. He was a physician at Hilliardston as were his four sons.
