If you look at the changes history and the photo of the will on the Find a Grave memorial, it seems likely there was a mistaken merge done last year. I'm sure there were many John Drakes from Virginia-- but one of these merged was born in 1702, and the other in 1720. (Unfortunately, no sources for either date.) I don't see mention of a son John or John Aaron in the 7 children named in the will. To unconflate them you may have to start a new profile for the one merged into Kevin's.
