    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.
