Notes:
!He died from injuries when a farm wagon turned over. All came to New England
in 1630 on the 'Mary and John'.
!The History of Ancient Windsor, by Henry J. Stiles, & other sources; Mary &
John, volume 2, page 68: John Drake ( -1659) Granted lot in 1640, 363 ft.
wide, on Conn. River, s. of John St. Nicholas & n. of John Bissell, acrossed
the road from "Rocky Hill", on the west. In 1652, he complained in Court that
John Bennett had enticed and drawn away the affections of Drake's dau. Bennett
was often in trouble and Drake may not have wanted him to associate with a
daughter. This was either Elizabeth (age 21) or Mary (age 20), who married
respectively, William Gaylord Jr., or John John Gaylord, both from "Mary &
John" families, the following year. John Drake died from injuries received in
front of John Griffin's house, when he was driving a cart loaded with corn,
drawn by two oxen and his mare. Griffin was living either on the lot of
Francis Stiles or Henry Stiles. Something frightened the oxen and they began
running away. John tried to stop them by grabbing the mare. He was thrown
down on his face and was run over by one of the cart wheels. A leg was broken
and he was so bruised they thought he was dead. He was carried to his
daughter's house and died soon after. This daughter was probably, Elizabeth
(age 38), widow of William Gaylord Jr., who lived between the lots of Francis &
Henry Stiles. He was survived by his wife, Elizabeth, and children, Elizabeth
(38) widow in Windsor, Mary (37), wife of John Gaylord of Windsor, Job (36),
husband of Mary Wolcott, in Windsor, John Jr.(34), husband of Hannah Moore in
Windsor & Jacob (33), husband of Mary Bissell in Windsor.
