  • Cornelis Drake was baptized on 11 March 1696 at Reformed Dutch Church, New York City; sponsors Barent Tilburg, Johanna van Sanen.2
  • He married Maria Louwerse Tours, daughter of Lourens Arentszen Toers and Francyntje Thomase, at New Jersey before 1720.1
  • Cornelis Drake died in February 1779 at probably Passaic, New Jersey.3
  • Cornelis's name also appears as Dreek; (Acquackanonck Church Records).4
  • He was a member of at Protestant Dutch Reformed Church at Acquackanonk, (now Passaic), New Jersey, on 31 March 1726 as Cornelis Dr(ee)k, by letter.5
  • He and Maria Louwerse Tours were members of at Protestant Dutch Reformed Church at Acquackanonk, (now Passaic), New Jersey, in 1738 as Cornelis Dreak and Mareytje Dreak, by confession of faith.6
  • Lillian Drake Avery, in Drake Genealogy in the Line of Samuel (p.18) places a Gerardus Drake in the family of Cornelis Drake and Maria Tours. She gives no reason or authority, and no record of birth or baptism for such a Gerardus Drake has ever been found. It is more likely that she found records of a Gerardus Drake, found in Essex and Morris Counties, New Jersey, and then simply assumed that the mentioned Gerardus must belong to Cornelis Drake's family. A closer look at the records, however, demonstrates that this Gerardus had an adult son (Gerardus, Jr.) by 1750, implying that he would be too old to have been a son of Cornelis.

On 29 September 1824, Cornelius Drake, being duly sworn in open court, stated, among other things, that he had bought a small house and lot of land in Morris County in 1807 and that he continued to live on said place until 1822, when he sold it and bought a small place in Roxbury township, expecting to pay the balance of the purchase price "by coleing and cutting wood off the place; but the sickness and death of a part of his family disables him from making the residue of the payments and compelled him to give up the place to the vendor and loose all of his first payment (two hundred and ten dollars) except ten dollars."
