The Drake Family Crest
John Drake, of the original company organized by King James I., in 1606, to colonize New England, belonged to the family of Drake of Ashe, county Devon, England. He came over to Boston in 1630. Of course, Admiral Drake's arms, granted to him for especial services on the seas, are totally different from the example we give. We have seen, in the Rousseau collection, a bookplate of a descendant of John Drake, William Walker Drake.
