- Benjamin Drake left a will dated August 24, 1741, Eastchester, Westchester County, New York, in which he devised his estate to his wife, Mary. After her death, the lands were to go to his sons. Benjamin was the only son named, and he was to have the house and land his father bought of Jonothan Odell along with three acres of salt meadow lying at Hutchinsons as his part. Wife Mary, was to have all movables, and the rest he devised to his daughters, not named, who had come of age. Executors were his wife Mary, and brother Jasper Drake.
