  Notes	They may have had a daughter named Sarah Ann but she definately was not the Sarah Ann Bishop who married Charles Drake (Jr.), Isaac Drake's youngest brother. They were married in Kanawha Co., (not Russell( 22 May 1848 by Rev J. Hindman. This is in Kanwha Co. Marriage Bk. 1816-1843; p. 155. It is ommitted from the Wintz book on Kanawha Co. marriages. Sarah Ann was the only bride on the inister's list for that year whose father was not named. A direct descendant, Harry Drake of Amma, aged about 85 has told us that she was the illegitimate daughter of Margaret Bishop and a man named Lester. She was reared in the Isaac Drake - Margaret Bishop family, and must be the female under 5 shown in Pike Co., KY's 1830 census. Isaac and Margaret's first child, a daughter named Huldah, was not born until 1 Feb. 1831.
