Biography

Francis was probably a son of Joseph (or Josiah) Drake and a descendant of Samuel Drake who settled in Fairfield, Conn., and removed to East Chester, N.Y., in 1660. Before the Revolutionary War Francis was a shoemaker. During the war he was a Loyalist. He enlisted as a Private in Oliver DeLancey's Third Brigade on the 24th of Aug., 1777, and was a Sergeant when the war ended. He came from New York to Saint John, N.B., in 1783, and settled first in Sunbury County. Later he moved up the Saint John River to the Parish of Queensbury, where he and Catherine lived the remainder of their lives and were buried in Day Hill Cemetery, now called the Upper Queensbury Cemetery (1999).
